Business & Finance - 23 December 2006

So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to college to go into the teaching field, possible either as a university professor, or the other extreme; teaching kindergarten. I love children and teaching them, but I also don't want to go through life without being comfortably financially stable. I was wondering what is the normal pay for this occupation? What kind of degree is necessary for higher wages? And would it be best to work at a private or public school?

I just started working at a new job about 5 weeks ago. My boss has gone on vacation for the next two weeks so I am in charge. But, I am new and still learning the ropes.

The owner of the company is mean and nasty. He routinely yells at people openly in the hallway and is very impatient and abrupt. I have not had to deal with this yet because he deals directly with my boss.

I will probably have to interface with him directly for the next two weeks while my boss is gone. I don't know how to react if he yells at me. He does it with everyone so I know not to take it personally, but its not fun to be yelled at when you are trying to do your job.

I know that I will be leaving this job soon - probably after my boss returns from vacation, but in the meantime need to deal with the stress while I am working there.

Has anyone ever dealt with an rude boss?

I am a young kid looking into college and I enjoy the stock market but have never actually got into it. Is there a way I can get into buying stocks cheaply and being able to watch them day by day to see how they do?

I'm 24 years old, two years graduated. I just recieved a very very nice christmas bonus, and I'm torn between paying off a big chunk of my student loans, or contributing it to the Roth IRA I opened last year. It's very attractive to me to have my loans paid off, but I also know the earlier the better for the IRA. What do you think?

I understand why market value of all capital should be used when calculating the WACC for a future project, but I don't understand why it should be used in valuing a firm today.

For Example:

Time = 0

Assets = 1,000 return 8% required return 8%
Debt = 500 return 8% required return 8%
Equity = 500 return 8% required return 8%

In this simple example, the returns and required returns are equal, therefore the market values equal book values.

If the required return of the debt increases to 10%, then the value of the liability decreases to 400.

Is it not good when the value of a liability decreases for the company that is paying on the debt? If this happens, would the value of the assets not increase because the company is paying a yield below market yields?

But, based on market values of 400 for debt and 500 for equity, the WACC would increase resulting in a decline in the value of the assets.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

FYI: In the last two years I have made approx. 10,000.00 in OT each year the amount has doubled and I do not see it easing up anytime soon. Their thinking is do more with less (yeah). So now they are wanting to change my status from hourly to salaried without a rate increase. I thought this was unfair, so I have done some research and they cannot force the change since I was not hired on that way. Also there is no difference in hourly vs. salary employees where I work as far as benefits go. I do have a slight advantage if I am pressured to negotiate, there is no one that can just step into my shoes immediately (Senior Graphic Designer, 16 years for inhouse agency, I know the biz well). Don't get me wrong I know no one is irreplaceable.I would like to know what other people think is a fair increase to ask for. If I am expected to change over and still work those hours. Help Please! PS, they want to switch the entire department of 21 over. Not just me. Its all about the bottom line
