My friend and I went in on a gym contract (3 years). We are not even halfways into it and she's already stopped making her half of the payment. I know that it was a stupid decision on my part. If I call them and tell them she passed away, do you think they would take her off of the contract or replace her with someone else?

Would it be right for a corporation to hire without any proper basis and guidelines for hiring, recruitment, and placement of new employees? What are the legal impediments of this practice? Can someone highly qualified for a certain job file a case against a corporation of no HR office/officer who turned the applicant down because the in charge has the right to choose whoever he wants to place under his department. Is it right to let the hiring be done by operations people, and not be initiated and performed by a qualified Human Resource officer?

I am a teacher, currently head of two departments managing 11 staff in a secondary school. I want to leave teaching but have no idea what other careers I am qualified to go into without taking too much of a pay cut. I have a business law degree and a Masters degree, am a qualified teacher with 7 years experience. What can I do and where are these jobs advertised?

Thanks in advance if you answer.

Seems like the major thing everybody wants is to have an experience even without a degree. I start questioning what is the point of going to college if U will have such a hard time finding a job?

They're telling me it builds credit if I pay montly and on time. My question is, as long as it gets paid, who cares? Should I pay monthly or what?

Hi There,

I have a question that I was hoping you guys can help me out with.

I recently completed my Masters in International Politics and Human Rights. For my dissertation I explored the rise of China's superpower status and its impact on US foreign Policy. I loved the subject so much that I now would like to go a step further and undertake a Phd in the subject. Although I realistically would like to get a full time job as well.

My question is: "Is it possible to undertake a Phd on a part time basis if I am in full time employment?"

My friend says it is. His plan is to get a job with the UN but to undertake a PhD while he is working. It is such a fab idea and I would like to know whether or not it is realistic.

Cheers buddies!

Is there any known programs or ways in which you can track a company's attendance by having them log onto their computer? One company is needing a new method and this seems like a good one where the company does not want to spend extra money on card readers, biometrics etc. All they are looking for is for a system in which employees can log on and then at some point in the day have a report sent to HR with who logged in and who didnt and then follow up with those employees. Any suggestions?

I attended a training school that is currently closed down and no longer exists. It has been 6 years since I attended. I am now getting calls from a collection agency that says I owe them money regarding the classes that I took at the school. The credit agency will not give me information about the classes that I took and the fees. The collection agency was very unhelpful with providing me informarion about anything. However they did have the last 4 digits of my SSN. What should I do for them to leave me alone and prove that I do not owe them any money nor do I want this to show up on my credit report?

Am wondering if this is a good idea, to borrow money from the bank even if you CAN afford to buy a house on your own. I dont understand why people would do this, is it because of the risk factor??

Not only with purchasing a house for themselves but with flipping houses too. I would think that if one actually had the funds to buy the house then do it instead of borrowing from the bank???? Is there an advantage? Why would they want to be bothered with having a mortgage payment????

I filed a complaint against my tenant for non-payment of rent. We are going to court next week, and I'm fairly certain that the judge will rule in my favor. If he does, will the tenant be required to pay the amount they owe me? Or will I just be in the same situation I am now?

I currently have a Bank of America credit card in which I earn no rewards from using. Because I'm starting to use it more and more, I've decided it's time to switch to a credit card where I can earn rewards. I'm wondering if people have suggestions on the best credit card to get based on the rewards/incentives associated with it?

I work for a pet store that offers care guides on how to take care of pets. I often have people come in who do not speak english well. A lot of the pertinant information on how to properly keep an animal alive is lost in translation. How costly would it be for a large company to offer customer information in several languages, including Mandarine, Japaneese, Russian, Arabic...etc...? All the guides are kept online, so all we have to do is log into the intranet system and print what we need, so space is not an issue.

I currently have bought very expensive purchases from National Sport (My Friend I mean) and they applied the taxes incorrectly and would not refund our tax as they claim it is correct. I have looked over it twice and read Retail Sales Tax Act and it was still incorrect.

This has been the best year we have had in a long time. I have received a large bonus for many years. I have come to depend on it as part of my salary. This year, it was a little over a hundred dollars. I am confused and dissapointed. No he does not have to give one at all, but we have come to depend on it since its been the same for years. I thought it was not nice!! He knows we depend on it. I think he should have told us before making the choice so at least we woudl not depend on it for xmas gifts for our kids.
