I'll make it as short as possible here. Please provide some advice on what to do.

I thought I really liked drawing and designing, so I join a group of people (around 20) which are already part of an organised club (funded by an affiliated company) to learn more about things related to that. They spend a lot of effort and some money to recruit similar people like me and I went through an interview and made a few acquaintances there too.

But later, I realise I'm not really getting to learn what I want to in the first place, and I take more than 3 hours to travel on public transport back and forth each week, which is tiring and long.

Should I continue with it? If not, how should I withdraw myself without offending the people there? (Because my main reason is I don't really get what they are trying to do there and I feel that sometimes I'm wasting my time, which is awful)

Thanks.

One of our cashiers messed inventory control, sales for 9/21, and sales for 10/21. Tech support says he has no idea how to fix it and he wrote the program. I've been working on it for 2 days.

I have a window overlooking the cubicle, but no actual direct sunlight. Just the flourescents. I was thinking of heading out to a local store and buying a cheap lamp to brighten up my office. It is not a lack of sleep or anything like that.

Anyone ever have a problem like this before?

I can't do that because we have 11 others to pay. Can they really refuse my payment?? What should I do? The chargeoffs are from previous marriages.

Recently, I tried to open a new checking account at a different bank from the one I have now. I still have an account at my present bank which, thankfully I did not close. When I tried to open the account, I was declined. The banker printed up a sheet telling me to contact Equifax. Which I did. I went online and read up on checksystems. I think I didn't close an account five years ago, I had already opened my present account. I contacted them as well. I'm now just wating to hear back from them. I'm now 27, and was not very responsible with my checking account about five years ago. However in the intervening years I have been. On some of the websites I read, it said sometime your current bank will cancel your account in your are in checksytems. That has never happened. I just want to make sure I'm OK. Also, if I was reported five years ago--it stated that it would be taken off. I'm not sure. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
I would love some advice, especially from a banker!

Hi. My name is Aaron. I am 17 and currently homeless. Life has been hard for me lately. On Christmas eve of last year I was evicted out of my house by the police because my landlord lied and said we didn't pay rent. The cops threw everything on the sidewalk. Then when we tried to keep our leftover possessions out of the rain and under the carport for a day so we could get a uhaul he threw everything away. We lost everything. Now here we are almost a year later and not all of my family has found stable housing. Or even a stable job. All I am asking is for some sort of help, if it be money, housing or even moral support. Something is better than nothing. It is so depressing working hard all day just to make it to the next. There is no reward and you find yourself in depression. So if you can help in any way , even if it be a penny sent to me, it would help. My email is aaronbroberts@hotmail.com

Thankyou

I'm 25, about to have a baby in March. I want to stay home and have about 5 or 6 little kids to watch in my home. I dont want to go back to work. I want to work for myself and start my own business. I know that you have to have a little certificate for the go ahead. I got that covered. It's not a actual daycare. It's more of a babysitting service. I want to start little, and work up. What do you think?

Hi! [Asked this before, re-asking to get more opinions]

I have a MS in Computer Science
and 1-year programming experience (done that before starting the MS)
Now I don't want to work with software analysis and development
nor with Research and Development.

Could anyone give me any career prospects?
- Couldn't I be, for example, an HR in a software company?
- Teaching is good, but could I do that without experience, I haven't been a T.A. while studying for the MS?
- Any big companies require technical skills (MS) for selling their software? sales career?

Does anyone feel the same, noticing that you don't like your field a bit late, i.e. after graduating?

Any serious Help is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance

My school has a business career fair next week and I am graduating this semester and am doing that job search stuff. I'm going to be wearing a suit and have extra resumes and stuff, I am just wondering how to begin a conversation with the recruiter. Do I just walk up and "Hi, my name is ___, here is my resume"? How do I engage in conversation with them?
