Business & Finance - 2 August 2006

Executives in the largest companies now receive only around 20% of their renumeration from a salary with the rest made up of 'short and long term performance incentives' and linked to annual bonuses. My pension is now a defined contribution scheme where the risk of benefit shortfall is borne by me and not by my company. Their investment plans do not include an investment in staff loyalty as I might be made redundant soon under the new CEO's plan. We can't all be be high-fliers but we should expect some consideration, we are not items on the balance sheet.

I don't want to wait 2-3 days for PayPal to answer my question so I'm asking here . . .

I'm opening a PayPal account so I can shop online. I read the User Agreement, but I'm confused about the wording in regard to using a PayPal account with a bank account. Can I use my PayPal account in direct conjunction with my bank account (i.e. I make a $5 purchase on eBay using PayPal, and the $5 is deducted from my bank account)?

I don't need to know HOW to do this until after I sign up, I just need to know if it's possible.

Thanks!

It is true - it's free but you have to have broadband. The videos are a kick. Tests are REALLY hard. And it claims that mind capital is more important than job skills and knowledge now. And that with just 3 questions you can figure out how to develop your mind capital. Blows me away.

I have an undergraduate degree in Biology with a Chemistry minor. I have 15 undergraduate business courses I took as electives. I am now seeking an MBA. I work for the U.S. Government, but not anything related to business. Just wondering if an MBA would be worth the time, effort, and investment? I am 29 yrs old so it may be a whole new career move at best. Any opinions?

I rent a basement apt in charleston,WV and my land lady verbally notified me that she is selling her house ( which by the way is held in trust by the bank for her late husbands kids) and that I have 10 days to move. I do know that in WV you have to give 30 days notice to a tenant and it has to be in writing. So who do I call to have this enforced?

I'm sure this will sound silly to those of you who have been working and raising kids for years, but up to this point I have been a full time parent and have not had to work.

I need to get a part time job when school starts to supplement my husband's income and I have no idea how to deal with school vacations/holidays/etc.

My daughter is 6 years old and will be in 1st grade. How do I work around her school schedule? HELP!!!!!!!!

I have a job... but they don't pay me nearly enough for all of the work I do. I have an interview on Saturday for a position offering $18.75... My boss just told me that he is going out of town on next week... Will it be wrong if I get the job to just leave... or should I wait? This job is so stressful and it takes a lot out of me... I don't know what to do... HELP!!!

What type of CD should I look for. I shouldn't need the money for a least 6 months? Do you want to get a shorter term cd or a longer one? Should I use my bank (US Bank) or shop around? Any advice or references would be appreciated. thanks.

I will graduate with a Bachelor's of Science from Penn State. I was thinking I could be a data analyst but i'm not sure if that's feasible? if not, what other high paying entry level, it related jobs do you think I could qualify for.

My career advisor and academic advisor were not of any help (both told me to look up monster, career builder, ect-- and those sites were unhelpful!)

Thank you in advance for those who legitimately try to answer my question.
