Business & Finance - 17 November 2006

I'm a young professional currently working as a network security QA in the Silicon Valley. I find life too mundane in this area. I'm hoping to work for a small fun company in SF. I have some web skills and pretty good at designing multimedia elements. Let me know if you have any leads. Thanks

I have worked in retail for over 11 years (i'm 27) and am tiring of it a little now that I have reached the top of the "ladder". I need to keep busy and thought that maybe something in research (history of some sort), archives or geneology might be good for me.
I have no qualifications as such and would just like some idea about the above careers, what they involve, any qualifications I would need and how I would get into such jobs.

I have been getting a lot of job offers and I accepted on two weeks ago for a start date after the 1st of the year. But I've been getting even more interest since I accepted and one offer is better than the one I accepted. Are there any implications to turning back on an offer already accepted? Like in college, if you sign a letter of intent and then go to another university it is a NCAA violation.

We're in the process of a refinance and have been offered an FHA home loan vs. the conventional one we already hold. This is our first house, don't know too much, just want to take alittle money out and pay off all bills, nothing major. Latest offer (the FHA one) is 3% less in rate so the long run the payments will be lower, and save us money....Please help!

Learning to be a driving instructor in nothern ireland is left totally up to the individual. A structured training propramme with standardised tuition, like other professions, would be better. What do you think?

What would you do if you know your supervisor is having a fling with one of your co-workers and he can get fired for it. The problem in this situation is supervisor is being unfair to the other girls and giving more advantages to this girl he is having a fling with. Its not easy for me to go and talk to my supervisors boss, because my supervisor has painted an angel like image infront of him. Would you wait and collect evidence or would you go straight to the top. My supervisor doesn’t do anything he just passes his work to us. Then the girl who is one of our friends, she wont openly admit they are having a fling, but plays it like he likes her she doesn’t like him….she is thriving on attention.

Last month I requested 3 days off of work for the 24th 25th and 26th of november. Well this week when my schedule came out, I noticed that instead of giving me the days off he gave me a double shift for those days. I also noticed that he gave a whole week off for this new girl that just started and he ahve another week off for antoher one of the new girls. I called him today since it was my day off and was trying to talk to him abotu my schedule, well all he said was he would not change it, I would have to work, and that I was aggravating him. I am now thinking about quiting my job, I ahve worked there for 4 months and never did i complain or ask for days off. And the first time i do he acted really mean to me. Its not fair that the new girls got off for the holiday and i didn't even ask for the holiday off. So would I be making a smart decision to quite, I hate my job, It pays $9.oo an hour and i work as a hostess, but i'm tired of my managers taking adavantage and playing favorites.

I am planning to change my name due to professional reasons. I am an Asian decent and need to have a western name. You know what they say...when in Rome...etc. Anyways, I like the name Evan but working in the Financial Industry, I fear that the name Evan sound too boyish, do you think?

So I am thinking about the name Howard. Is it a good name? I'm 24 years old and plan to use this name to the end. Image a fifty-year-old man sitting behind a desk giving you advice on how to invest. Would such a name Howard match such a man? Is Howard a good choice?


What comes to mind when you think or hear of the name Howard?
