If you had 17k to spend on tuition, at 39 yrs old, what would you pick?

OP, you mentioned agriculture, have you considered combining your existing skills with some training in that field? With a business degree plus whatever qualifications you can get in agriculture, you'd likely be able to slot straight into a management position for a large beef, dairy, or cropping company. These kind of jobs tend to be a mix of hands on, driving tractors etc with a bit of office work and meetings.
Women is harmless. Whoever is feeding her brain with filth deserve to be taught a lesson. Creating an excel table just for the lawsuits to bury them.
Is there no way you can get joint custody of your children? That is pretty common here in the US. Wouldn't that reduce the amount of child support you have to pay?
My lawyer says joint custody is extremely unlikely because I work and my wife does not, therefore she is certainly the primary caregiver and if I was given a 50/50 split it doesnt necessarily work with my multiple jobs, even if I cut down to one job, they would possibly charge me child support and spousal based on 2 jobs, and I would just end up with less.
I have a meeting tomorrow with him to discuss the feasibility of getting 50/50 anyway, but my wife has made it clear she wants full custody and will try to give me only supervised visits (ridiculous, but shes going full adversarial).
I submitted an application to the carpentry college and my parents confirmed I could live with them during study.
I am in western Canada and have a red seal. I also have a bachelors degree. I am currently working at my own trades business while I deal with the dissolution of the my current business structure.
I have used my metal trade to put myself through my bachelors degree. I used it for income while I started my (currently dissolving) business. I am using it right now while I see what I want to do with the next step in my life. I am mid 40s.
In other words, the trade I got when I was in my early 20s has funded me during multiple life changes. But the times I worked at the trade full time, all I could think about was how to get out of it. The reality of working for someone else in most trades sucks. But there seems to have always been a steady supply of $50+/hr jobs. But that is changing now too.
If I were you, I would pay a visit to your local trades school and peek into the classrooms. Here in Vancouver (BCIT, Kwantlen) it seems Indians have found a way to scam into these schools using false hourly records and fake employment letters. Jobsites are full of guys on their PR track working for essentially nothing - they pay these shady companies to sponsor their PR. So these shady companies don't need to make money on the project, they can just undercut because they make money off immigration. It happened in trucking, security, restaurant service, logistics and in construction they are doing it in refuse (illegal dumping), drywall, painting, railings, roofing, siding and gutters. It's a total mess.
I am in talks with buying a business and he is able to hire guys (Canadians and Europeans) for $35/hr. Just 5 years ago it was $50. That is real downward wage pressure and it happened real fast. I was making $35/hr non union back in 2008 and went as high as $70 over the years.
The unions are holding on, but they are bankrupting cities all over the place. No one can afford infrastructure, healthcare, mass immigration and open drug policies anymore. Something has to give, and right now it's wages. Canadians seem OK with that for some reason.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
Good luck and God bless.

If you are near a large city and have a green thumb, your ag/farming idea could be quite profitable. Organic veggies sold directly to customers are nothing to sneeze at. If growing them isn't a good option for you, you could probably function as a middle man for local producers who don't want to deal with city folk or just don't have the time for selling smaller quantities.
I actually like that a lot you just have to have a plan to bring them to market which would be the hard part. Relying on little farmer markets and things like that won't get you far I know lots of people that had a great product and thought a farmers market, local fairs and things of that nature would get them to launch and they just wasted their time eventually abandoning their product. I also know people who got into large chain supermarkets through localized programs as pilots for national and just completely flopped as well even though their product was unique, well made and the deals totally in the supermarkets favor. There is big money in veggies and food in general, the logistics of it are the problem.
