Business & Finance - 3 June 2007

I am considering a career in as a sonographer. It seems like an exciting career and it would also give me a great sense of accomplishment. I was going to school to become a nurse, but the idea of being a sonographer first seems like a better goal for me right now.
Is there anyone out there who has that career or is considering it like me? How long does it take to get your license? ( I have about 2 years of college completed already) How much do they usually make?
Thanks for the help!

My parents gave a gift of stock in 1995. In 2005 I sold it and closed the brokerage account. I was under the impression that the cost basis was the market value at the time of the gift. The stock depreciated slightly from 1995 to 2005 so I didn't report capital gains to the IRS. I got a notice from IRS the other day saying that I owe taxes based on the cost basis that the brokerage reported. (based on the original purchase by my parents in 1989)

Last August or September, I made two purchases from a company that does home parties; one I did online, the other from the consultant. They totalled over $150. Both were paid using my debit Mastercard. No money has been withdrawn from my checking account for either transaction. I verified that the correct account number was used in both cases. The company shows that I paid. What are the chances that they will discover the mistake and then take the money out? It's annoying having these things outstanding when balancing my checkbook, but I don't want to put them back in and then end up bouncing something when they discover the error.

What are revolving accounts? And I know mortgage/rent, utilities, insurance are not considered, but a car payment is, right?

I want to let go of my home, I just want out. If I release the property to the mortgage company will I still be responsible for the difference of what I owe & what they auction it for? I have missed one payment so far and have looked into doing a 13 but if I don't wnat the home anyway (can't sell, owe 30k more than what they are selling for, no equity, & can't afford it) then can I release the title to the mortgage company and will they come after me (garnish wages) for the difference after the auction?

I am getting ready to enter my senior year in high school, and after I graduate, I am interested in going to school to become a sonographer; specifically, an Obstretic Gynecological (OB/GYN) Sonographer. How much schooling is needed to persue a career in this field?? And where can I get this schooling from? ..Do I need to go to a college, or are there technical/vocational schools that are an alternative?

thanks for your time and answers :)

I am 23 and I have insurance coverage thanks to my dad's workplace. I am currently pregnant. Would I lose this insurance is I were to get married? My fiance is still a student, and I do not think we will have enough time for him to receive a job with benefits before the baby arrives.

Thanks

If I and a partner own a home with a tenant-in-common (tic) agreement and we both live there for two years, and then I buy his share of the deed at the end of these two years, can I turn around and sell the whole house without paying any capital gains tax?

(while you are going thru school) Any other interesting opinions about culinary school are welcome. :) thanks!

I know margin interest is only deductible up to the amount of net invesment income I've received. Does that mean if I have $10k in short term capital gains and $10k in short term capital losses for a given year--IOW, no overall net gain--that I can't deduct margin interest? Thanks in advance.
