I know it is not right to make a general statement about German products, but I do notice that most German Products are on top of their leagues, like BMW and Mercedes for Cars, Steinway and Bosendorfer for pianos, Carl-Zeiss for lenses, Blaupunkt and Sennheiser for audio equipment, Rolex was founded by a German (though it is now swiss), Staedtler for engingeering drawing instruments.

I'm not trying to start a nationalistic argument here.
I just want to know your opinions on why there are so many German products that are of good quality.

I am looking for a job, and I am considering waiting tables. The only thing that makes me nervous about this is carrying the trays. It looks so difficult to me! I am a petite girl, but I see girls like me doing it all the time. My husband is a server, and he says that carrying the trays isn't as hard as it looks. I would like any encouragement, tips, or advice. I would like to hear from people who wait tables and do this and from people who feel this part of the job let them down or gave them trouble, especially if you had to quit because of it. I used to work at Sonic Drive-In, and that was the closest I got to carrying a tray like this. I know it is totally different, but I am just giving as much info as possible. Also, the job I'm considering is at Blacked Eyed Pea, so if that helps any... Thanks!

I worked at this firm 20 years ago and joined their pension scheme. I left and a few years later, the company closed down. However, I get this statement every year from Norwich Union telling me my pension is now worth x-amount. I've asked them if I can just have the money now but they say I can't, not until I'm 50 at the earliest. I'd rather have some money now. Are their any companies that will buy the pension off me for a reasonable amount if I sign it over to them to claim on when it matures?

I am working as an independant contractor as a business analyst. I am taking a Six Sigma course which is costing me 3600$ and it is associated with my position although it is not what I do at work. I was wondering if this can be considered a professional expense for a independant contractor for W2.

Thank you in advance.

employer i now work for p/t? The offer is turning out to be a little fishy since they're stalling on the offer letter. I have something else in the wings that's a bit more conservative and kosher. I've accepted the offer verbally but I haven't signed anything. Now I'm starting to change my mind and I want to back out of the offer. I've worked with this person before and I should probably call them but I'd prefer email. What' s the best way to approach this and what are some good reasons for backing out. I'd lke to retain the relationship if at all possible, but I can't see right now how that's possible. Any suggesstions?

I work for this company now p/t and the job offer is f/t and more responsibility but I've recently gotten word from the inside they give dirty a new name and I don't think I want to chance it. Plus the stuff they're pulling right now before we even begin gives me pause.

Heres a quick run down. I just got out of college and about $3000 in debt. It went to collections and I have worked hard so I now have enough to pay it off. I'm planning to apply to graduate school so I need to borrow money. I want to improve my credit to be able to borrow a loan. I talked to collections and they agreed to let me pay it off and they will mark it as "paid in full". Should I pay for it then? help..... please... is this is best I can get from them?

This is what the description of what they want is:

The verification worksheet for dependent student is incomplete because we require a signed copy of the student's 2006 federal income tax form with all statements, schedules, attachments and W - 2 forms which you did not previously submit. If you are not required to file a 2006 federal income tax form, you must submit verification that you are not required to file. To request a copy of a tax return, call 1 800-TAX-Form (800-829-3676) to request Form 4808 or print Form 4808 from the IRS website at www.irs.gov. Return the IRS verification to the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.

Can I just call that number and request the transcript and that covers it all? My dad did it on turbo tax. Can he just print out another copy? Please help.

not be released until July 31. I already applied for loan June 29, so lock expires July 30...before they want to disburse loan and transfer keys. Now they're saying they have permission to disburse loan on July 30, but we still will NOT get keys until July 31. Is this legal? What are our options?
