Business & Finance - 18 July 2006

I have spent $50,000 getting my college degree from a good state college, (B.S. in IT), but since graduating 1.5 years ago, I have learned that the IT industry no longer hires entry-level candidates that they are willing to train. Only experienced applicants need apply to even the entry-level jobs. I can't even get interviews.

Now, I've got student loans, and my parents are ready to kick me out of the house. I have read that contractors in Iraq, who are assigned to do everything from driving delivery trucks to doing basic handy-man type work, make tons of money due to the high-risk danger level of being in Iraq. Many contractors are kidnapped and killed by insurgents while simply doing their jobs.

I'm pretty desperate, maybe a little depressed, too, but I really don't want to end up mutilated. How dangerous is it? If I go work there, can I purchase/carry automatic weapons for my own protection? What lengths can I go to increase my safety over there?
Wut do u think I should do?

Hello, i am just looking for some advise. about 4 weeks ago my parents recived a phone call at 730am from some one asking for my wife but in her maden name. my parents ask what the call was about and this gentle man claimed he is with the irs and it is about a 1099 form. My parents then called me right away and told me to call this guy. So i did first thing he ask was a ssn#, i did not have it. then i gave him a case #. Then he came back and said that your wife owes us 2900 now for a 5 year old capital one card, or else we are going to sue you for 5500. I told him i have no idea with this is about and i will have to contact her. He told me i have to pay him now or else. I was thinking he was a con. I did ask my wife and she said that had a capital one card, she did 5 years ago when she lived in Texas now we live in MN. We did get a letter from an attorneys office one week later. Thx tim

My rent is about to go up from $855 to $941. I would like to get the managers to agree that I pay $900 but I don't know how to go about writing a letter of that type. What are the rules for negotiating rent? I would like to stay her but I am student and I will definitely feel that increase.

I am thinking of opening up a Resort in a remote part of the country. Investment minimal, but just enough to keep this operational. Can anyone tell me what I need, besides money of course? What are the most important factors to look into in such an investment? What are the risks? And what sort of expected returns are feasible - best and worst?
