I've linked to the OSHA site for more info, but before opting for an expensive online or in person HAZWOPR course, be sure to check your university or local community college to see if they offer a cheaper 40-hr HAZWOPR course. National Oceanic Atmospheric and Atmospheric Administration - NOAA - This is the government entity KT mentioned that she wish she'd applied to when younger.

Valian Personal finance books recommended for college students/recent grads Automatic Wealth for Grads by Michael Masterson - There are lots of gimmicky books out there about finance.
