Ok well my new job that I'm working at is also my first job. I have been scheduled to work 47 hours in the next week and three days, but I am a high school student and I'm and just being trained. This is my very first week at any kind of job and they are making me work 47 hours...I talked to some of my friends and the hours that are given to high school students at their jobs are 15-30 hours, and 30 and up is usually given to full time employees.
When I applied for this job I said I wanted to work part time on the application, and I really don't think its fair that they are giving 47 hours while I am training.
Do I have a right to complain? Or would they be mad and fire me?

I'm looking to invest in a notebook. I'm fixing my credit and after a while, I see some improvement. But my computer just crashed and now, I decided to get a laptop. However, since I'm just rebuilding my credit, I might get rejected. I went to these "no credit" solutions, but the laptops they have were pretty weak. I don't need a monster laptop, but it have to be at least a dual core.

I'm trying to decide between HP and Dell. From experience, which company offers not only a better deal, but an easier approval?

I have been trying to apply for the past couple years at various places like, Walmart, Target, Dillards, Macy's, Best Buy, couple of gas credit cards and even local furniture stores. They all turn me down because I dont have any credit information. I'm 24 yrs old and I know 18 year olds who have credit cards and loans on cars. WTF?! And I dont want to do one of those secured card deals. According to my friend's boyfriend I am considered a "ghost" when it comes to credit. I ran my credit through Equifax, Experian and some other big one and they don't have any record. Just my name and former addresses. No credit score, nothing! I dont have bad credit, I have NO credit. Any suggestions?

I own a home and have homeowner's insurance in my name. My boyfriend lives with me so obviously all of his belongings are in the home. I thought anything in the home was covered under my policy, but I read in a few places that he would have to get a separate policy as a renter. Is this true? We have no official renter's agreement. How would they even prove that the items weren't mine if something were to happen?

I went on an interview today, I felt as if it when great, I was introduced to everyone, given a tour of the of the office the whole nine yards. The interviewer seemed intrigued with our conversation. We wrapped things up and I was escorted to the door made some more small talk shook hands, but the closing comment was, " We just put the ad in the paper, we would like to let it run its full cycle, so you will probably hear something after that." What in the world was that, it really threw a curveball at me?? I thought things went great?

Hi, I am 16 and I just got my first job in May of this year and I have a 15 month old son. I live in my mom's house and she usually pays for everything but she tells me that I can't claim my son as an exemption because I'm not technically head of household and because I'm a minor. So when I got my job I claimed "0". At the end of the year can I claim the child tax credit and how do I file my taxes and everything?

Now this a foreclosed home, so before we get the inspefction we had to have the city come in and inspect the electrical or wiring. It wasn't up to code so we told the listing agent they needed to get it up to code so we could get the inspection done. she is saying the bank which owns the home won't put any money into the home because there is no guarantee I will buy the home. I like this home alot and really want it but what am I supposed to do here? Any advice?

I've been loosing money for my store every day I count. I strongly believed that someone has been stealing from my store. I just am wondering what would be the best way to set a trap? and when? I suspect one of my employees that I just hired because before she works, I did not have this problem. So, it's obvious to me. But, I would like to proof it that it's her. Can you guys think of something? thanks~! Btw, it's very unfortunate that the money boxes are in the blind spot of a security camera, so I wont be able to see who is there. Please I need ideas! thanks.

There is this guy who is stalking me. He keeps knocking on my door and trying to get me to have sex with him for money and trying to sell me drugs. I have no clue who this guy is. I have called the police about it and they have taken police reports but they said there is not a whole lot they can do. I talked to my landlord about it and she told me its not her problem and that I have to deal with it. I dont feel safe there anymore. I want to break my lease so that I dont have to deal with this anymore. Should I break my lease and is there a way to get out of all of the penalties?

My lease is up and my landlord decided not to renew it because she wants her nephew to move in.

she was definately the landlord from hell. she fixed nothing and when she did she raised the rent 100 dollars. I mean once i had to threaten to take her to court because my toilet was about to fall through the floor and she wouldnt fix it.

anyways. im moving out saturday and i never payed a security deposit and im considering not cleaning the house at all and tear up an old phone book and throw the paper all over the floor as a little payback.

do you think i should do that? :) i mean whats she gonna do? not give me my security deposit back? haha
