WIA
I'm looking at nursing. 2 years at the most, if you have a degree with science courses you can knock down the time substantially. I should complete in a little more than a year.
WIA is paying for all of it, gas to/from school and you can work some other grants for cash on the side.
nursing starts in most locations at 25/hr, once you complete first year clinical's many locations will pick you up at 14-16/hr.
in PA they offer 8K for the program (gas/bus/train on top of that). One other thing.. 1st day paper work to acceptance was slightly more than 2 weeks. Certain programs they can do quicker (in days). PA does not allow aviation training unless you show up with a letter from an employer that states with X type rating we will hire this person.
