If someone offered to pay you to go to school for one year (12 months) to learn a high demand occupation what would you learn and why? Absent other formal training or education upon which to build 12 months would likely only lead to a technical certificate or something similar. Just curious if anyone knows of something one could learn within 12 months that they could do on their own and without a state license, or having to work for a corporation in order to perform such work.

I hope this thread gets a lot of creative comments.
