Anybody ever done a certificate program or is doing one ?

Hi people I am 24 years old I live in washington Heights close to the A train, were I can get any place I want in the city by train.I recently got laid off a non profit job were I cannot collect plus I was working for two months.(job was temporary ) I my quest to find a job I have found depression and stress I have not had any luck. I am starting to hate craigslist and I HATE that when I go inside a store they tell me apply online do they even go through the millions of resumes.I have sent my resume out like no lie 600 times No exaggeration I checked my sent messages. Let me get to the point I have a two year old and in a bad relationship as bad as it can get. I only have telephone call center light data entry and receptionist skills. I want to do a quick certificate program and get certified to work a career out. I need this for some stability for now. I was thinking of dental assistant in mandl allied college but I dont know if the school is accredited somebody explained to me that if I go and it is not accredited what ever that means that I will have to do like 1000 hours worth of work before I get certified which sucks. Its takes like 8 months to complete. Then I heard of cnas certified nursing assistants which takes less time to do and I think they get payed less than nursing assistants tho? I heard that you would have to work in a nursing home to make 12 dollars and up but its rare anybody know about quick certificate programs ? or have done any of these any suggestions would be great I would appreciate it. I need something that makes good money like 12 and up starting I want to get an apartment and move out with my sis. sorry for the long paragrap

1. I am in the same boat you are in. I have seen CNA programs that are only 3 weeks and it is free if you work for there nursing home. The job pays like 11.80 to start. I have looked into it but you have to wash people and wipe there butt and clean up poop if they don't make it to the toilet in time and you have to change there diaper. You should get a job as a transporter to transport patients around a hospital or go get your CDL license and become a bus driver.
2. Have you thought about being an assistant (admin or executive) in an industry that you find interesting?
