For quite a while I have wanted to become a doctor. I would go into pediatrics and have my own practice, therefore making my own hours and I believe the pay on private doctors is slightly higher than others.

I have also, however, wanted to go into a Government agency, like the CIA or FBI, or especially the Secret Service. I am concerned about the pay here, however, and I don't really want to go to all of the rigorous training and physical requirments for such a low pay check, you know?

Law has always been another option for me. I suppose I could become a lawyer, but I just don't know...

I'm a little stuck. If you could offer your opinion that would be great!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

PS. Don't mind the name, please don't let that sway your answer. Let's not be biased, here.

My gf just started working at a local bar/night club as a shot-girl and waitress. Apparently, the new owner is just hiring local college girls left and right without even checking their driver's licenses (he hired a 17 yr old to serve alcohol). The guy intends to pay under the table. He also said that he doesn't care if they take a few drinks while working.
My question is: is this common? How illegal is it? And most importantly, could my gf get in trouble with the IRS etc. for not paying taxes on ANYTHING?
I'm 19 and I've only ever worked in pizza delivery, so I don't know how most of these places do business.Thanks.

I got my degree in accounting, and just got a job in an accounting firm. I will be making $45,000, but will 40-50 hours a week. I am 22 and think that now my life is over and all i am going to do is work and have no fun in life anymore even though i make alot more money. I know my other friends did not go to college and work at fast food places but have fun all day and night, but now i think that those days are over for me. Is being 22 too young to start working your career already? Or will i still get have a life and have fun?

I am buying a new home and I have the cash to buy it for all cash, but I ultimately want to refinance.

Would it be cheaper if I bought it all cash and refied, or if i financed as a purchase? Or would it not matter...

Ok, here's the deal. I am currently in a home that has been on the market for 6 months. The market is very slow, and it looks like I am at a dead end.

I plan to stay in my next home for the rest of my life. So I don't need to worry about getting financed for another home. I am thinking about ditching the one I am in and moving to our new home.

I need to be able to be approved for a few loans. One being my daughter's braces in a year or two, the other would be for sending my three girls to college.

Finally, my question is, is this a good idea? Would I be able to get the loans I need in the future if I kept my credit up with on time payments? Or will I screw it up for my child's education in the future?

I know the bank would at least be able to get the amount owed. Thanks for your time, this is becoming a stressful mind boggle! :)

But I have this feeling that my landlord is the type to try and keep as much as possible... what can i do to keep this from happening?

When we moved in we took a lot of pics to show that the house wasn't really up to par and not even cleaned well.

I live in CA

I've also heard that I have to pay to have the carpets cleaned is that true?

ps i've only lived in this house for about 5 months

My old employer has asked me to work as a consultant for a new Human Resource Information System they are rolling out. I did this once for them as an employee. I have experience, but do not have a degree. I will do consulting as well as set up the new program. I will work directly with the vendor to get it going. Any ideas what the going rate for this in Illinois? About 112 employees.

My roommate and I own our house. I did not have the credit to secure the loan, but my roommate did. I, on the other hand put down $42,000 on the house that cost $129,000. He invites people to stay here and I disagree with that. I might conceed that I only own half of the home by the deed, but do I have the right to say who stays here? I do not pay the mortgage since I am not on the note, but without my substantial down payment, he would not have qualified for the loan. Both of our names are on the deed and in addition to the down payment on the property, I paid off his debts including his car. I pay all utilities and he pays the mortgage.

I do not want him to invite people to live here to "get themselves on their feet" in order to live in the city we live in. One is his brother and the other is a girlfriend. I did not sign up for that crap. I bought a home with one other person and do not want anyone else to live here.

Any advice?

I have tenants now on a month to month lease after not signing a new lease. They are over 2 months behind on the rent and gave me their notice to vacate verbally. They have shut off the electricity and moved most of their things out of the house, but still have items there. Can I take back possession of the house and consider it abandoned if they are past their move out date, but haven't given back the keys yet?

Many International Businessmen register theirs as "Offshore Company" for the Package-of-Incentives attributed to Tax Haven Countries. Non-Disclosure of Ownership, Tax-free benefits, unrestricted FX On-Line Banking are some of the many.
