There are three problems causing this obsene waiting time at public labs. The shortest I can find in 10 regions is about 12-15 days.
1) 110 new BPOs were seeded on the market with Revelation.
2) EVE population has grown by 100% in the last year, and not one public lab has been added since the change to how they work with Red Moon Rising a year ago.
3) Cancelled jobs occupy slots until the job cancelled should have finished. A known bug?
The remedies are joining a corp with available POS or Outpost labs (not many of those since most corps with research labs are busy doing research on newly acquired corp BPOs)
Or purchase lab time from research corps with high sec research POSes. Several offer this service, and although not as expensive as your own POS, it still costs several hundred thousand per day of ME research.
Good luck with those rig BPOs

When starting out, the best solution atm is to buy BPCs from a BPC provider, and if you have a few BPOs that you'd like to research, put those in to replace the BPCs eventually. Even with a 25day wait, they will be done eventually. 
Some of my clients have a few BPOs and use our service for all their extra needs (i.e., to diversify). You really need to mass produce for it to be worth it to invest in a large BPO collection, and it will take you many years to research a large collection.
We have spent almost a full year, researching every seeded tech 1 BPO (we still have 8 of the ships left to purchase) and we are a dedicated research corp with over 40 members (all capable of 4-10 simultaneous lab jobs). 
Most of our BPOs are "PERFECT PRINTS" with next to maximum ME and PE savings (many have been researched well beyond that for the purpose of negating a significant part of the inefficiency of invented tech 2 BPCs. We will have completed perfect research on the Rigs within 10 days (all 79 seeded rigs that is). We have done all 17 exploration probes, and the rest of the Revelation BPOs will be done by end of the month. Leaving only ships and capital stuff still in research. 
To set up your private POS in a one man corp, you need a large hauler, and quite a bit of capital: a medium research POS will cost about 700mil + fuel (30-50mil/month) and you need a faction standing of at least +5,10 to be able to set it up with 5 labs and concord protection. Of course you can start off smaller than that, but without the standings for a high sec POS you will have to set up defences and cannot use it to its full research potential. You also run the risk of loosing the POS if someone covets your moon, or just gets really angry at you. 
Contact me if you need any tech 1 BPCs to get you started.
