I am a JD candidate, and to be honest, after investing 2 years of my life in law school, I am not quite sure if law is the field I want to practice in. Are there any other former law students out there that did not end up practicing law?
(and, I don't want to just quit school, since I am almost done. I would rather just complete my degree first).

I am kind of interested in 2 different fields:

(1) compliance - can anyone give me more information in this field? and
(2) fashion law - this would probably be the only area of law that I would be interested in pursuing. There does not seem to be much information out there on the web in this field. Any ideas?

Any helpful tips and ideas would be appreciated. 10 points to the best answer!

I graduated this last June and I took a year off to work so me and my bff could go to college together after she graduates next June. Well it turns out I can get a good job at Covidien as a tableter starting out with 12.50 an hour working 4 on 4 off days. There is a raise every couple months and I can work plenty of overtime and get lots of vacation time. But I planned on going to college so I could one day be a tv producer. See all the other kids in my class are going to college. Some are going to be teachers, doctors, one girl is even going to be a stylist. I want to do something cool like that too. But what I really want is to make money. Do I really need to go to college to make good money or am I better off going with this job. Im only 18 so that's pretty good money for a kid my age and it will only get better with time. But this doesn't seem as exciting and glamorous as being a stylist. Should I still go to college or should I just go aheadw/ the job.I want a job I can brag about

Today I deposited a check at the ATM and wrote my name on the back of it (next to the amount) but I did not write my account #. Was I supposed to? Also, I put some cash in the envelope too alongside the check. Will they accept that sum (both are in the same envelope)? I used my debit/ATM card and received a receipt. Thanks!

Uniform retail jobs at places such as GameStop, Circuit City, Staples, Best Buy, Wal*Mart, McDonald's, and GAP.

I'm talking about walking in there for the very first time and telling the manager that you want to apply for a job. Would it be overboard if someone dressed formal just to do this? Would it be a good thing? Or does it even matter?

On the flip-side, what if I came in with T-Shirt and jeans?

Please tell me what you think, and if you work at these places or not.

So, I work for the state government and a few weeks ago they changed everyone's job titles. Our new titles are paraprofessional rather than professional. I went from a librarian to a library specialist. The pay didn't change, but they did tweak the job description and removed helping students use online and print resources, which is a major part of my job and it seems silly to remove it, but that's a non issue. I'm upset because of the job title switch. One of the reasons I took this job despite the laughable pay was so I could put librarian on my resume despite not completeing my degree. Should/ Can I use the job title I was hired with on future resumes? I just can't see myself chaning my resume to say library specialist.

Business invest time to attract customers, but some customers are simply not worth having. So some business think that they should fire the customers they lose money on.

-Is it acceptable to fire customers who cost you money on an ethics point of view?
-Is it acceptable for the company to focus efforts on profitable customers or should they all be treated equally?
-What is the downside for financial institutions of finding which customers are profitable and discourage those that are not profitable?
-In what industries would it make sense for government regulation that ensures all customers receieve some basic level of service?

Between my wife and I we are making around 4000 a month. That maybe be around 50K a year (that will raise slightly within the next few months). I am in my mid twenty's and have pretty good credit that I have been building for as long as I can. Our only debt we have are my student loans and a plasma we are currently financing aside from the basic needs (car phone food.).

Our rent is up by the end of next year and wanted to know if it is possible to own a house at our level. I really prefer not to rent and would rather buy a house as opposed to an apartment/condo. What do we need to do?

We only have about 6000 cash at all times but would like to know what we should be aiming in terms of savings (if at all needed). We also live in south florida.

Hi i have just gone to check my sons bank statement at nationwide and it shows all his money has been withdrawn. he had over £800 and now only has around £1 left. i asked him if he withdrew the money but he says no. could you tell me if this is fraud and what i can do about it to get the money back. It is not a debit card but a cashcard and it looks like all the money has been taken out from a cashmachine at different days. i know this as on the statement it said £100 has been withdrawn on a monday, and another £100 on wednesday and it has been withdrawn from a cashmachine because that is the daily limit. £100. Could you please tell me what i can do and if i will be able to get the money back. Thanks

I'm on this site about once every week or so. I see all these people posting questions about how/where to get a loan when they have bad credit. Do they ever consider that they don't handle credit well (hence the poor score) and should not seek additional debt obligations?
