Business & Finance - 17 December 2006

The original reason I wanted to become a manager was because I'd worked at companies where if you weren't a manager, you were treated like a piece of ****. I wanted respect, and saw being a manager as a way of getting it.

Now I work at a company where you don't have to have that position to get respect. You can still make more money as a manager, but I'm not really that greedy.

So, a pillar of my motivation is toppled. I was set to go out and get an MBA, even though I'm more right-brained, because I saw it as a necessary means to an end. If I step back and just focus on my true interests, is that better, or should I go ahead with the MBA/management track stuff? Because I could always end up working at a different company, where respect for all employees isn't the case.

Please tell me why the hell it's even legal to say something is greater than 100%? It's impossible. Once you reach 100% it's no longer a percentage. The definition of percent is per 100. If you have 300/100 it equals the whole natural number 3. Perhaps you've heard of it? It comes after 2.

Like the questions says: how important is your GPA when applying for jobs or to Grad school after you graduate? Obviously it's a big deal, but I've talked to many graduates who didn't even put their GPA on their resume and got jobs. What is a good GPA to have 3.0+ 3.5+. I realize a 4.0 is the best, but I'm asking more along the lines of what is competitive these days.

Pending Charges are new credit card transactions that have been authorized but have not yet been posted to your account. These transactions have been subtracted from your Available Credit but have not yet been added to your balance. Pending charges may not post to your account or may post for a different amount and therefore can not be disputed.

I've taken aptitude tests, personality tests, etc etc and still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have a few general ideas, but nothing in the fields I've been recommended had piqued my interest. Is there someone (a professional) that can help me figure out what I should do for a living?
