The average work week in America is now between 50 - 60 hours.
I am looking for a career that affords time off enough to be home with my family instead of always getting slammed with long work weeks.
I don't mind a reduction in pay as I would rather have family time over money.

Do you know of any jobs that are not extensive hours that still make decent money?

I am an English grad who would like to be her own boss. I am 100% confident in my writing and editing skills, but am unsure how to break into the copywriting world. I've tried doing cold-calls (hi, i'm a copywriter who helps companies create brochures, web-content and other copy.would you be interested in receiving some information on my services?), and doing mass-mailouts, but my responses have been low and i'm getting discouraged. what do i do?

how did you get started?
am i being unrealistic?
what is your biggest mistake?
what is your best advice?
should i targert mid-sized companies, or go for big ones? (i don't have a very great book yet).
how do you approach big companies?

i'm learning as i go, but i am getting really discouraged. i can't do my current job forever!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a simple product idea that is needed. I do not know how to begin to manufacture or outsource overseas. Do I send someone the prototype? Do I mass produce it myself? What about packaging. I can distribute/market. It is 'getting' the product that I am having a hard time with. Any guidence is greatly appreciated.

REAL ESTATE

2006-07-06 07:36:46 · 3 answers · asked by christina a 1 in Renting & Real Estate

Long story short. We are trying to buy a home that we have decided we don't want anymore. Although we can afford this home we have decided that we didn't want to take on that much debt. Reason two is that we have just recently found out a few disturbing things about the neighboorhood. Three houses near by have been busted for meth. They are all rental property. We have a 5 month old baby and this scares us. We want a safe neighborhood for him to grow up in. Our community is only 3000 but this is on the rise. We have already made an offer to buy contingent upon our home selling. We have had lookers but no offers. We have until August 1st to sell ours then the contract with them is up. Our realtor said someone is trying to get a loan to buy ours right now but after finding out about the poor neighboorhood conditions we just really want to get out of the agreement. What would you do? Would it be bad to just tell them we will not be buying their home?

I have a long term assignment with a company that rents office space on the East Coast. I am the only employee in this office as they only need it a few times a month.

I discovered a leak in the ceiling. I have a container catching liquid and I have fans going over the carpet. Before I got there, about 10 feet of the carpet was soaked with water.

The land lord him self is away, his assistant is there but does not seem to want to deal with me with out him there.

Do I have to make them come up and look?

Should I ask that the carpets be cleaned?

Since I am not permanent here, I don't want to come on too strong. Yet I want to do a good job for the company. I have told my boss about this. She is waiting for more news on the status.

How would you handle this?

I think up things all the time, but then I don't know what to do about it. If I can actually make a prototype, then where do I go with it?

I was thinking, for a concert that is sure to sell out, like Radiohead or Tool, it would be super easy to make some money by buying up a bunch of tickets and selling them on ebay. Has anyone ever done this? How'd you come out?
