Fast Track Certificate - Process Piping Design
Length of Study: 7 months

Based on my own experience, the shorter the time I spent in school the more useful the training was in terms of practical earning potential [sarcasm]Now, I'm going to read a magazine while on the can so I can get a promotion.[/sarcasm]

That's too bad it has to be like that. I feel that here in the USA, as long as you have A university degree (doesnt matter if you're an engineer or you did that Bachelor of Arts in General Studies, you have the same earning potential. My boss has a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in General Studies and he's the DIRECTOR of Health and Wellness making over 6 figures.
I feel like there are more opportunities here and the decisions you made regarding your major in university/college as a high school junior or senior dont affect your earning potential when you're done.
