I am a 25 year old college student. I am not worrying about the coverage, it is a nice one, but rather $55/month I could invest somewhere else or put back in a bank.

This question seems to come up a lot in job interviews. How do you answer it if you haven't really accomplished much yet. Is it appropriate to say earning a degree? How do you make your answer stand out?

I worked for a Pennsylvaniia company in California and they refused to pay me for my overtime and travel pay. I won a settlement before the State of California Employment Commission. The company has since gone out of business and the President convicted of EPA violations and export law violations for dealings with Iran. How do I address this period of employment with this company in an interview coming up.

I believe paying rent is dumb, I think the better option is to buy (mortgage) what do you think and why? A buddy and I shared a house through college..400/month plus utilities each, what do u think the mortgage was? Obviously they were making money on us...why not pay more and actually own something...or have a large sum payed off for resale should you choose? Pros/cons...all opinions/comments welcome. cheers

I heard this on the Oprah show about 3 years ago. A lady was on their and said that small amount of money would make a kid rich and she went on to say $1 dollar a day for a childs life would make the kid a rich adult. . My niece is about to have a baby, and I would like to invest some money for it, not a lot, just about a dollar a day. Where did Oprah's guest get that idea? Do you have to be smart about investing because God knows, I am no Allen Greenspan.

I am entering my junior year, majoring in physics, and have concluded that after graduating I want to pursue something more practical, and less theoretically intense. I have thought about mechanical engineering, and am just starting to think about applying my analytic in the business world somewhere.

I completed my 45 hours, and I'm waiting to take the test. I already have a job at a very good real estate company, and have completed their video training. But I am so nervous, I'm starting to feel like this was a big mistake, and I'm going to get myself in serious debt.... I know I am just being paranoid....

Also, I am a shy person- I'm not going to lie. I mean I can talk to people and everything, and I need to be able to work around people but I can't go into a restaurant and give a waitress my business card without feeling akward. I'm very excitied to start doing open houses, but I'm nervous because the other lady who is starting with me is an older lady (I'm only 20) and she knows all of these people and she's always talking about all of her friends who already want her to sell their house. and my database only has 45 people in it! It's not like I had a ton friends in highschool and could put their parents name in, but I dont want to say that to my boss.

What should I do??

I would love to work at home but the programs I see you have to invest (or at least invest alot) of money. I never paid my current employer to work. So I don't like that idea. If it is any that could give even just extra money could you all please tell me. Thanks in advance.

OK I am having a ridiculously hard time finding a job now that I spent some time (less than a year) doing substitute teaching. I have a B.S. degree in Business Management. I was having trouble finding a job last summer. I had very little experience and I was a stay at home mom for 3 years prior to that. I thought I could get by working as a substitute teacher until a regular full-time job came along. But now it seems to be impossible to get into a business-related job or an entry-level management job. How do I convince potential employers that I am not interested in teaching? Has anyone ever tried to get a different job after substitute teaching? I am so frustrated and I don't know how to get it across that I don't want to be a teacher. Any suggestions?
