There are two things here... loading the game (i.e. from desktop to the main-menu). For this you can remove the movies to make things a little faster, but that's about it (for me, it saves clicking through them, which is nice).
The other thing is loading a mission (whether saved career, single-player mission or multiplayer). For a full-blown career, there is nothing you can do about it. If you want all the features, you need all the loading time.
If you are only playing single-player or multiplayer stand-alone missions, then there are various mods and other things you can do to cut down load times (sometimes making the game load faster than the stock game). However, then you cannot play careers/campaigns anymore, which (with the exception of some online groups) is usually why people are playing the game in the first place.
Probably the only easy thing to do for the campaign/career player is cut down on the harbour traffic. One of the GWX mods is Harbour-Traffic-Lite (or something like that). This might help you.
