I've been looking for a job in product development/production. and have had no luck.Can anyone help me or give advice?? Other areas which I'm interested in possibly pursuing are event planning and real estate but don't know how to get started in either field. I also can not afford to take a pay cut by starting at the bottom again.. I already have 5 years experience in my current field. I'm also willing to re-locate. Please help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

well I'm 25 working as a part time builder not a bad job but I wouldn't mind a job where basically I get paid loads for doing nothing. Because I'm fairly laid back and don't like to give orders. The job that I've got doesn't give me enough hours and doesn't pay very well. I've basically spent the past ten years going from job to job but nothing really sparks my interest. I like to play alot of video games, I love going on the computer. I am actually good with people but feel as though I should be an employee rather than an employer as I don't like to give orders but idk But I feel as though that I need a career otherwise I'll get to 30 with no job and that would be just weird so yer can anyone help.

They call it a "Convenience Payment Fee", I call it highway robbery! You can buy online, check your shipping status online, but as soon as you use it to make a payment online they rip you off! I am disgusted as I type on this DELL keyboard. Funny how a company that prides itself on new technology is using such outdated methods. USE YOUR STAMPS AND SEND CHECKS!!!! What a rip

last month we had an emergancy and took out a payday loan.when the time came for it to be due we still did not have the money so my husband went and got a week extension. when the week was up we were still short so i read the agreement again and it said that we could get up to a 60 day extension.well my husband went to talk to them and they said they will not give him the 60 days that they were cashing the check monday.i had no choice but to put a stop payment on the check.

what can happen to him now for stopping the check?all we needed was a little more time-not even the 60 days that it states we can extend to.

Have 6 months to move. Our house went on market 5 days ago, priced $15K below comps--homes are selling within 4-5 months at 15K more than we are asking with two homes closed in the past month, so there is activity here. Had deck rebuilt 2 wks ago, landscaper hired so yard looks fabulous. House painted inside, house made no-maintenance outside with lifetime warranty on all materials. Had house inspected and everything brought up to code, all new appliances in kitchen. A buyer came to see our house twice today, and their agent called ours to say there will be an offer tomorrow, BUT we it will be a very lowball offer, with a 2 week closing, and asking for full closing costs as well. Reason given was that buyer's parents told her to lowball because she could get it for "nothing" in this market. We are willing to go down another $5K ($20K under comps), but no more, and we would need to close in 30 days so we could find our new home in another state. Should we just counter with this info?

Hi! My parents recently turned in their 2003 tax return. They received a refund check from the IRS. Now, like a month and a half later, they receive a notice of examination and want a bunch of information. Is this some type of glitch or can they come back after issuing a refund and decide to audit you? Thanks.

If you call Amex, Discover, CapitalOne, etc etc, and tell them that you're not happy with your current card, and want a better one from their selection, being that you're their customer, is it possible for them to switch you to another card they carry if you qualify for one?

I am a Respiratory Therapist and am being hired for my first job. There is a nebulous statement in the incentive package that I don't understand.

"The maker and endorser hereof waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest of the Promissory Note."

What does this mean?
