Most UK banks charge at least £8 to cash an overseas cheque, the cheques I am getting are usually about $25 so this is not cost effective. What is the best way to handle these, is there a specialist current account that would help, or another cashing method?

Anyone have a job doing such duties? I'd like more information if you have. Eg, what were your other duties? Did you enjoy the job? Was it hard?

How many years does it take to be a dermatologist?

I heard it's:
4 years of University
4 years of medical school
1 year of internship
3 years of dermatology school.

That's 12 years of school. That would mean I would actually be a dermatologist and probably start a family at 30? For me me that's kind of late. I wanted it sooner. ^^ Is there any other way?

Alright, I've taken my basics in college but I still don't have a clue as to what I would like to have as a career, so could you help me find a job that incorporates some of my interests? Here they are:

1)Music-I love good music....classic rock mostly (Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon...I could go on for hours)
2)Books-reading is one of my passions...I would rather read than watch tv anyday. I like biographies, philosophical, mythology books, history books...any type of book really.
3)Art-I like evaluating artwork and making it. I love to do visual arts...my favorites are charcoals and pastels and I could paint all day if I had the choice.
4)I enjoy writing- I like to write poetry, lyrics, and pretty much anything. I'm in the process of writing my first book right now.
5)Traveling-I first went overseas when I was 15. We went to Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. That is when I fell in love with Italy and after I graduated high school I took off a year to live in Italy. While I was living there my friend and I traveled throughout all of Europe....Greece, Spain, Austria and so forth. We had the time of our lives!
6)My best subjects have always been literature and history. I find them very intriguing.
7)Philosophy and religion has also became a fascination of mine. I love to learn about the classic Greek philosophers and about the religions of the world.

So, can you think of a good job for me? There are alot of things I know I would like to do, I just can't decide which one. Thanks for the help!

I have creditors calling to collect on debts that I have incurred about 3 - 5 years. The toal sum is about $3000. Two of the three are threating to take me to court or take legal action. I legitmately do not have the money. I have a house payment. I have two car payments since me and my wife both work. After those major bills and the gas/light etc.. I put about about 10% of my income for retirement. After that bills and food I have only about 150 left for distrcretion. I have explained this to the creditors and they all want at least 100 a month. When I tell I don't have the money. They reply with "so your refusing to pay?" comments. One even told me "stop lying I know you make enough."

I am sick of this. I have no problem paying, but if I don't have it I don't have it. I am thinking about taking off a long large enought to pay off my one car (about $5000, so about $9000 with all the bills) and outstanding debts.

Any advice or insight to how I solve this?

A woman in my office got up to go the restroom and grabbed her purse, I said "that time of the month,huh?" and she started crying and left the office.

HR contacted me, got my side of the story. Things are now being discussed with Management and I may be terminated.

Isn't it pretty well known that when a woman brings her purse to the restroom, she's on her period?

For the past year and a half I have lived in my sisters house along with my brother, the situation there is getting worse no one wants to take responsiblity for them selves, as far as cleaning and so forth, with the presence of a dog, makes the problem worse. I want to get out of there. On the other hand I have a four bedroom apt that is in my name, with my other sister in the process of moving out, now this apt is in a crime infested neighborhood and is kind a far from my job, but the house is nice and clean and rent is dirt cheap. I want to move from where I am I can't stand it but I don't want to move in the area where my other place is, should I sweat it out until I save some more and find a place I want to go or should I move to the cheap area I already have and save up to move there. I want to move so bad I am willing to chain my self in my place because of the crime but I don't want to get stuck because of the rent. I reeally need some help and your opinion. Thank You

I have not taken possession of my vehicle and it is still at the shop. I KNOW that there was no damage to my vehicle other than what was sustained in a minor accident. I believe that the body shop had further damaged my car while fixing it. My deductible is $500 and my insurance company has already released the funds to the shop for the work finished PRIOR to me taking possession of my vehicle. The body shop will not release my vehicle until I pay the deductible. Which is fine with me since I won't take possession of a car that has not been fixed properly. What should I do?

This sounds like a dumb question and I doubt there will be a really good answer that I could use because if there was a fast way of getting extra cash, everyone would be doing it, right? I'll ask anyways. I usually am very good with my money but some medical, court and other recent unexpected expenses have come up and I only have $77.88 left in my account, pay day is on Friday, however I have a major problem. My gym money comes out of my account automatically tomarrow, my car payment comes out automatically on the 24th and I also have $50.00 being transferred automatically to a dedicated savings on Thursday. What can I do, if there is something I can do, I've never had this happen and I don't want it to look bad on my credit. help.

or you just uncover existing need ...?

it seems to be impossible to generate need from cold-calling, u may just hope a prospect wll get back to you when they have a need in the future, right ?
