basically i found a job i want but it's about $3.75 less an hour. but that's only for the first 6 months, after 6 months they do a review and give you a pay raise, then another at a year. i'd have to be extremely careful with my money but i could probably swing it.... so should i do it?

At present I work as a full time debt collector & I am 38 years old. I graduated about 15 years ago with a degree which included topics from Maths, Finance & Computing.

Can you advice the best career to go into bearing in mind my age, that I have difficulty relocating, since I now have a family & that I have not got any professional qualifications.

I did think of studying professional qualifications in computing via trainers such as Computeach, but they charge a lot & there seems to be no guarantee of a job at the end of the training. I also do not want to become an Accountant because of the number of years involved in studying & some employers will be relucant to take me on because of my age. I have also discounted other careers such as becoming a policeman, teacher & any other work which involves considerable contact with people. By the way, I am only 5 foot 1. I would prefer to have an office based job.

Sorry for being so picky, but thanks in advance for any advice.

I know that a decision will be made next week. Would I hurt my chances by emailing the hiring manager, reiterating my continuing interest in the position and stressing my qualifications for the position? My concern is that this could be perceived as being too eager or simply "lobbying".

or very limited management structure, like 1 president, and maybe a small board elected by the employees. All employees get the same leave time and benefits. All employees have the same vote. Hours are flexible, and although a minimum of 40 hrs per week needs to be accounted for, accomplishment of tasks are more important than hours. There is no promotion to the next level, for there is no corporate structure for which to advance. Pay is based on performance...the better you are at your job, the more you get paid. Tasks are managed by task leaders, which is a "second hat" to their function, just like human resources is. In other words, the incentive to work harder is not primarily driven by power in the traditional sense, rather by money, thereby directly driving the improvement of your skill set. Your thoughts?

I received a letter in the mail telling me that I had been nominated to this Who's Who and that it was at no cost to me. I'd be listed in a publication, only to later find out that they want almost 600 bucks for me to be a member.

I truly think this is a scam, and am just curious to know if anyone else was solicited or if anyone was an actual member of this professional association.

Hello there,
Here's my situation...i do have some amount of money (several thousends..as mentioned) and want to put it in something intelligent like buying shares or forex or internet site...I am computer programmer and have to say that my knowledge in buying shares or forex is pretty limited...but the reason why I would like to spend money in similar hard areas is why I live in poor country (Bulgaria) where any investing in "small business" is very risky...
Thanks alot!!!
