College is expensive, what is a good way for a college student to make some extra money? I already work 45+ hours a week at a hotel, but I dont work weekends, what should I do?

Where I work right now the maximum amount of hours you can work is 40 per week. They pay no overtime and will not pay for any hours over 40.
Anyway, occasionaly at the end of the day somthing will come up, and my boss will come up to me at the very end of the day and will tell me to do somthing (unload a truck, load somthing on to trucks ect. ) I do it, but it's starting to annoy me that he tells me to do these things and doesn't ask me to do it. He's not exactly the nicest person anyway, and part of me thinks that I should just say no and go home since I won't be getting paid for my extra 20 minutes worth of work. I think if he asked me to do it I would be a bit more happy to do it than him just ordering me to do this stuff. I've already done things like look at the clock right when he's telling me to do this stuff and he says things like "It's part of the job".
Does anyone think I should go to his boss or should i just grin and bear it?

My friends recently picked up this investing book, and now, even though they have not ever invested a nickle, pick on me all the time for investing in mutual funds. Mine are pretty good--no load, low cost and my returns have been nice over the last three years. I have three, one agressive, one conservitive and an IRA. My friends quote me this book constantly--"Only 4% of mutual funds beat market since 1985", and "Funds are a scam". Me, I have a family, full time job and hobbies--I really dont need the exta time and stress sitting on Ameritrade. They are being such snobs, and its bugging the heck out of me. Are Funds that bad? Can I somehow get through my life without ever having to do stocks myself? Thanks!!

I am a police officer currently testing for other departments. In police written tests there are different sections dealing with remembering details, basic math, english, writing, understanding and applying various passages of law to different situations etc.

In addition, there is often a section where they ask psychological questions:

ex=> "I would rather work outside than use a power tool"
ex=> "I prefer to be meticulous and avoid making mistakes, rather than act decisively"
etc.

Then you are asked to rate the statements with "I strongly agree", "I agree", "I can't decide", "I disagree", or "I strongly disagree"

You never see your score or how these are ranked. Where do these types or questions come from, and where can I find out more about them and how they are scored?

Personally, I think theyre BS. There is always a thorough background investigation, several interviews, polygraph, and afull blown psyche test before employment. Id go on, but Im out of spac

I'm a student and I thought it's be nice to try mystery shopping to get some extra money. But I'm not sure of it's success rate. I heard of a woman who gained 7 thousand a month in New York, but that was a rare case. What are people opinions of it?

Was just wondering, why the hell do companies sell products for like £9.99, or £39.99 or whatever. Why not just round it up to £10. Is there a reason for this or do they just like annoying us with 1p change?

My tenants just told me they now have to take care of their old dog (a German shepard!) 3 weeks after they signed the lease. It's not that I do not allow dogs, but I certainly would not have allowed them a huge german shepard--- In a one bedroom apartment!

They said they had no dogs at the time of the lease. And the lease simply states that I need a pet deposit.

Now that I have realized the legal implications such as if the dog bites someone I get sued, etc. How do I approach them about this?
