    I'm tempted to sign up for 24 weeks of introduction to welding. Costs $10k though and the starting pay isn't exactly stellar.

Lol..I'd go into more detail but sense some snowflakes turn in green lol

    Take a padi certified scuba class and do underwater welding you'll find the pay goes up substantial

    I had a buddy to do online classes in the truck and get a degree. Now how was he able to complete that I'm not sure. I just couldn't see a driver working. A 14+ hr day. Then spending 3 or 4 hours doing lap top work

    I have submechanophobia. Not really bad but enough that I probably wouldn't enjoy that job.

    I just found out about this, this week. In fact, it looks like Azusa Pacific university has no limit on the amount of CLEP units they accept. Excelsior College also does this, you can test out of an entire degree and pay no tuition. Each test is like $88 and takes 2 hours. I think a program called DSSL does upper level classes (junior and senior year) and focuses more on major-intense courses which would require more studying. But for a motivated person--forget it. You can devote your study exclusively to like, accounting. Test out of all irrelevant classes. Sounds like a great plan

    I see this post is kind of slow on answers.
    Yes; it is possible and can be done with perseverance. While driving, I managed to complete a degree in Aeronautics up to my Commercial Pilot License, S/E, M/E, Instrument rated Pilot. Today; I drive when I want and I Fly when I want. Im a million miler and have 3,865 hrs of Logged Flight time. The beauty of it is, that when ever I want to Take my time Off, I choose the city of my Final delivery and research the airports on a 10 mile radious from the Truck's parking spot (usually a Trk stop). Plan accordingly, go Fly to a chosen Location stay over a couple of days, Fly back (usually 1 to 3 hrs flight time or less), back to the Truck and "here we go again". Co's Love it.....makes their lives easy and mine too. I've live that lifestyle since 2000. Once you have your Pilot License you can rent an airplane like you rent a car. You.....Can do it too....!!!
