Join the army! Jokes....... seriously though, there might be some free weekend training you could get from the reserves. Also, there are lots of campus' offering their courses remotely. The trick is to find a reputable one, and don't listening to Jackie Zieman, ICS is not the answer, especially for someone who has the mental capacity to endure chemistry! Then again, many companies don't give a Rat's arse about EE certification. Many are actually discouraged by too many degrees on the old resume. It can easily be implied that you are an acedemic and don't really get anything done. 10 years ago, I made the choice to get a practical diploma as an electronic's technologist. I've saved myself over $200,000 in tuition, lost wages, and living expenses by making that decision, and haven't missed any opportunities yet!
