I have been out of college for 4 years. My problem is that I applied to be a food supervisor at my alma mater twice and was denied twice. The first time was because I didn't have enough management experience and they didn't feel I was outgoing enough. So I worked as a supervisor in the cafeteria for a year and I started working more on being outgoing. Ever since then, I haven't been able to get a management position in foodservice because I don't have the experience but I can't get the experience if no one will hire me. On interviews, when I explain this dilemma, they say they understand but they don't hire me. So this time around, I was sure I would get the job because I had the experience and I practiced on my interview skills and how to answer questions. Then I was told that they didn't hire me because they feel I should get some experience outside of the school (I have been working there on and off for 9 years). I'm ready to leave but I have no money. What should I do next?

Are there any cheaper insurance companies out there? We need something to help cover perscriptions and doctors bills if we get sick. We have the option to COBRA our insurance but it will be like $950 a month and we can't afford that. He applied for unemployment through the state(Texas), do you know if the government offers any insurance or medical assitance?

I'm interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. I've read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting.
Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary)
What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements?
I'm in my mid 20's. I live in the South Shore MA area. I don't pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. I'm very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors.
Any feedback/contact would be appreciated

Many of the places where i've temped, they have been racisst to me because i'm hispanic . they treat me like i'm a space monkey.

I was just a Document control clerk in this last place where they were about to hire me..but i got so much cr*p since the day i started there. It was an engineering company and all the enginnerrs were White . Then my document control partner was hispanic( well his mother was mexican) but he didn't speak spanish and he didn't sound nothing like me cause he never learned spanish , he just grew up with english. He was accepted as part of the team, but i wasn't. I was made to feel like i was below average, that i didn't speak english. Why in the world would they hire me If they thought i ddidn't speak english.

I have a feeling they just hired me because they were desperate for someone to fill the position. But then they attack me everyday with racist stuff. And not just racism, they were also pretty ignorant...

I want to build up a savings account with my wife so that we can have a good nest egg for when we decide to have a kid. I'm 25 and she's 22 so it'll be 2-3 years and we want to start saving more than we are. How much should we "reasonably" be putting aside without shorting ourselves for our own fun times?

The most efficient rank is 1 and least efficient is 189. Compensation rank is based on total compensation for latest fiscal year.

Footnotes:

Hi, I developed an online business, which launched 18 months ago. The business earned raffly 50,000 bucks over that time. At first place I paid for online marketing like AdWords, but I stopped that. Still, the online service is getting new clients, who pay $20 for a 6 months period of service. The majority of the clients is happy to prolong their membership. The operation costs reduce to the server hosting only which is ca $150 monthly. Now my question: I would like to sell the entire business including all source code and client contracts to a new owner. But I have no idea, what the reasonable purchase price could be and how to find a responsible and serious new owner for the business. Can you help?

Regards, Uwe
