Assuming this isn't a troll post, have you tried applying to various class II railroads? There are railroad training programs that you can apply to, and pay for, but I am not sure how much of an edge it will give you. Railroads have in house training programs. National Academy of Railroad Sciences is one such pay to learn type outfit. Don't know anything about them.

Your career in the railroad will be similar to the airlines with respect to schedules and being away from home. However, you will be vested in a better retirement system with a railroad and that retirement will go with you when you decide to move on to a class I railroad.

And as an aside, anyone who recommends anyone to go to art school needs their head examined. Going into debt (in terms of time or money spent) for an art degree is not wise decision making. Glad you got out in time.
