Get your instrument rating in 10 days? SURE.

Be capable of flying IMC single pilot in 10 days? GOD NO.

If there is one rating that you shouldn't try and cut corners with this is the one. If you're looking for a career you need to build time for your commercial anyway so use that time to become an experienced and competent instrument pilot.
I have to agree. Instrument training is the time you will learn some of the most important skills and should not be rushed. Take the time to absorb and experience all types of scenarios with a CFII and he/she will let you know when your ready to be a competent instrument pilot. This rating is all about quality not quantity and price. If you get your Inst. rating in 10 days I wouldn't fly single pilot IFR without a CFII until you have established good personal mins. for true IMC. Then work yor way from there, better to be safe than being another statistic. Good luck!
