I was just curious what the qualification and training involved is for air traffic controllers. I always thought it would be an awesome job. I do have a Bachelor's Degree and I'm working on Master's right now and will finish in May of '08. I know it's a stressful job, I was just wondering what training is needed. How could I find more information on this profession?

I applied a credit card and already received it weeks ago, but haven't activated it yet. I'm thinking about cancelling that one and applied for another one [from the same bank, just another type of credit card that offers better cash back]. What should I do, can I just call the customer service and tell I want to cancel the one I got, then apply for the other one I want? Would that be the best way to do? Also, would that affect my credit history for applying and cancelling a credit card?

I work in HR at a hospital and I wish I could find a full-time legitimate job working from home, making good pay. Please tell me where!

(Or if anyone works from home tell me what you do and how you got that job.)

10 points for the person with the most help or best advice!

Thanks!

I've been working for a small company (3 days per week) for nearly 1.5 years. My colleague, who is full-time, on payroll, and has a contract, who I trained, has been consistently been getting benefits, paid vacation, and bonuses for doing similar work (with less responsibilities). She may even be making more money hourly! On top of all this, it has been 11 months since my last wage increase.

I have my own small company (OMNIVISION DESIGN) and all cheques (from my boss) are made out to it.

Am I entitled to any benefits as an individual who operates his own company and is doing contract work? If not, is it realistic to ask for more money per hour?

I have more responsibilities, speak english and french fluently (my colleague does not), and I do more work outside of work (I will soon complete a 350 page book I read for work) and!

I keep asking my boss for more responsibility and she seems to ignore/postpone. My boss would openly agree that I am more productive than my colleague.

I left a good job with job security which had become a tad boring to become a manager with a small local business. Some of the workforce are members of a lodge that the MD is also a member of and also he has members of his family working there. One of the employees has been there since the start and thinks I have it in for him. I am there to introduce procedures to enforce some kind of organisation to the company and it feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I found out last week that I'm known as "Hitler"!! I have been crying non-stop (not at work though!) since an argument with a colleague and feel like I've made the biggest mistake of my life taking on this role.

If we live in a rented house (california) and I am the only name on the lease. She has never payed the rent, all checks have been written by me from my personal account. Every month she writes me a check that I depost into my account and I pay all the bills. Does that make her a sublesee and me her landlord and if so can I give her 30 days notice?

I am a 1st time home buyer and am in a high tax bracket (33%). I am considering whether I should accept points and buy down the rate and claim all the points (approx $11,000) in the current year when I file my returns next year? This is not a refinance mortgage.

I have a few automatic payments set up on my checking account that will process on Monday. I haven't been much paying attention to that account & just looked at it--it will have insufficient funds. If I deposit money from my savings (held at a different bank--I know, dumb especially in this kind of situation) in the ATM today (Saturday afternoon--the bank is closed) will I be ok? I don't have overdraft protection, didn't think I would need it (also seems dumb on my part right now).

I need to have my checking & savings accounts automatically linked, at the same bank, in the future I think! But what should I do right now? I don't want anything to bounce & the online bill system won't let me reschedule the payments.

Is it fair that those who don't buy house and contents insurance just get compensation anyway from the Government yet some people buy their insurance. Will the thrifty get handouts as well? I am thinking of those people whose homes are flooded.
They say they can't afford insurance, but I bet they smoke, drink, have expensive computer games and all the latest 'must haves' etc.
House insurance is usually less than a £1 a day, but then it is boring isn't it. Think on though about replacing the contents of their homes and repairs to the houses themselves. I know which I consider to be better value for money.
What do you think?

I graduated back in 2002 with a B.S in chemistry. I was unable to find any decent chemist position after graduation. I didn't know that a B.S. in chemistry was so worthless. I didn't spend 4 years in college just to get a $12/hr job. I eventually found a job with an insurance company, working as a claims rep....basically just on the phone all day filing claim reports. After 2 years working here, I got so disgusted with it. This was such a dead-end job with no future potential. So I quit. My father owns a gas station, for which I have been working at since June of 2005.

Now I just feel so lost and unmotivated. College did not prepare me at all for the real world. I didn't gain any useful skills that I can take to the workforce. When I tried applying for chemist positions, they told me I didn't have enough experience...so I applied to chemist jobs that asked for an associate's degree, so I can gain experience.....and they told me I was OVER-EXPERIENCED because of my bachelor's degree!!

three years ago, i received four money orders for items, and my bank teller told me i could deposit them in my account. surprise, surprise, not only did i never receive the money, there was no record of that transaction.

Ever since then, I have only accepted US Postal money orders - but when I listed my last thirty items, I thought it was written in and it wasn't. The auction ended before I noticed this, and I have a different type of money order.

how do i cash a money order?
