Business & Finance - 12 September 2007

Okay, so I had decided I wanted to be a teacher. Im at a community college now working on my AA in Liberal Arts and transfer to a 4 year college... But now I dont thinkg I want to be a teacher anymore!

Im interested in other areas like sociology, history and religions. More though on sociology and history. Those are my passions.....But what the heck can I do with those two areas right there besides teach if I major in them? I dont want to be a social worker; they are really underpaid and dont make much. People with a PhD in social work start at 40k... and thats having a PhD!!! And what cant I do with a history major besides teach? Im thinking probably nothing???

I am so confused and dont know what to do. Im frustrated because I want to already be doing something meaningful and earning good money to start living my life with my honey-bunny then have a family. Im feeling so desperate, Im thinking of quitting college altogether and doing a short career thing in nursing.............

i spoke to a man last night who said if you claim incapacity benefit and work part time you can be interviewed under caution he said his wife worked 10 hours a week and had to be interviewed she told them she had this work but they still interviewed her, they stopped her benefit and taped the interview she was not being watched and they did not ask her employer
i looked into this and it does say you can work under 16 hours a week and still get benefit
she said she was not doing anything wrong and was not a benefit fraud
another lady told me that she may have to pay back 1 pound a week as she was not allowed to do permitted work but was told she could do this work rather than go on to income support

what really happens in a interview and can they make you pay back the money if you only have a small income
and how do they find all these things out

I also have another 23k in rental income bringing total gross income of 133k. From what I've researched it seems I'd only be able to put a very small amount in an IRA. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated, especially if you are in a similar situation and have first hand knowledge.

i'm a bit confused about a few things concerning taxes. this year will be the first year that i can claim my child and i am wondering what i am eligable for ect. first off i am married but my husband and i have not lived together since two days after being married because of events that caused a protection order to be put on him due to domestic violence. we have not been to court to settle anything reguarding our child as of yet. there is no court order on child support or custody and he does not come to see our child and very very rarely has made any efforts to help me out with money. i live with my mother and father and last year my father claimed my child on his taxes. however, this month i have begun working and claimed my child myself seeing that he lives with me and not his father (he has never stayed with his father) what i am wondering is will i get a refund on my taxes with having my son as a dependent? i have heard of something called eic (?) but would i be able to get that ?

I have qualifications, but I do not have the skills most employers look for. I also do not work well in a team and am not a team player. I also have a medical condition which means I find it hard to go to interviews and talk to employers because I am so nervous and they do not want someone so nervous. I am on unemployment and the employment agency is forcing me to work. I cannot tell them about this because they would not understand and I find them hard to deal with. I would like to work for myself, I am very good at writing and would like to do this for a career and am working on it but it takes time. I also find most employers to be pains to work for because they expect so much and with my medical condition I find it hard to learn new things and time is money. People have tried to change me to the image they want in the company but get frustrated and say I cannot learn. I just learn in a unique way and they do not understand or want to understand. What can I do?

Has anyone ever registered with any of these online companies that pay you to take surveys? Any links to reputable sites?

I'm a student living at home, but classes and school take up most of my time, so I don't have the time to have a job. But I'm looking to have at least some money of my own.

Any information or experience with these surveys would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to try to cut to the chase; let's be honest--no one REALLY wants to read a wall-o-text to try to figure out what the heck a person is trying to say.

Basically it's this: I have a degree in communications. It's now time that I go out and find a job. One of the jobs I am considering requests skills in accounting. I've never taken a class, though my mother was an accountant while I was in junior high and I often assisted her. In addition I am intending on taking accounting classes through a local juco in the spring.

This is part-time position working for a small, 100 member church.

Knowing this, should I send my resume or shrug it off and keep looking for something else?

I cosigned a credit card loan for my brother. He racked up thousands and stopped paying over a year ago. The debt is already charged off. He is working with a credit counselor to resolve the debt but its going to be awhile. I'm wondering if maybe a "consumer statement" will help. There is nothing that indicates that it isn't actually my account. Any advice on wording a credit report consumer statement?

my letting agent wants a written work reference before she lets the apartment to me.
do letting agents actually check out these references (i.e. write back to them, or ring them) or do they just need them as standard practice and put them away 'in a file'?
