Business & Finance - 15 January 2007

Hi, I'm interviewing someone for a job as a systems engineer tomorrow. I'd like to start with a totally irrelevant question that will totally freak the kid out before switching to a more formal technique or asking questions that are relevant to the position advertised.

I watched stranger than fiction yesterday and liked the question "are you the king of anything?"

Could you make suggestions as to scenarios I might give this person or just insane questions to which he'll either freak out and run away or stand fast and find an answer. Cheers.

I had a credit card whose balance balooned to $3900 (the limit was $2500 initially but ballooned to this amt after i missed payments, over the limits, etc.), it was subsequently sent to a collection company who hired a lawyer to collect the fees. I received a summons by a sherriff deputy a few days ago. I contacted the lawyer and worked out a payment schedule (as i cannot pay the $3900 lump sum). They told me that since i could not pay the $3900 as a lump sum, i would have a judgement placed on my credit report, even though i'm actively paying off the debt to them, and when it is paid off it will be marked as paid on my credit report. This debt is my fault and i realize i let it go way too long. I have worked hard to increase my credit score from the rock bottom up to almost 600, all this before I got this judgement. How bad will my score be affected from this, and will i ever be able to get a home loan with this judgement on here? I am paying it off now.

Or, are you doomed to be make $45K a yr in some tiny firm in the middle of no-where. Not all lawyers make good money. Are these the ones that couldn't get into a good school? I'm considering law school. I know I can get into one, but I'm not sure if I'm top tier material. I'd hate to go to school, come out w/ a ton of debt, and make a crap salary.

I was redirected to this website while browsing, this tells that I can earn money by doing this stuff. Is this true or just another scam? I pasted the site here for your reference. http://surveyincomesystem.com/?hop=jtmgr
