Business & Finance - 29 September 2007

My credit is terrible all of a sudden because I did not repay my student loans in time because I was still IN SCHOOL. So now I have a poor rating, a delinquincy on that and on another credit card which was brought to a collection company and am now paying them every month and will be gone in 8 months. I have 8 open credit card accounts and my student loans are now on forbearance. 4 cards are paid off and I was thinking about paying in full the rest of the amount owed on all four cards which equals about $4,000. How long will it take for my score to start going up if I payed it off today, had no debt whatsoever(besides my car) and closed 5 of my newer credit card accounts?

I'm interested in a career were I'm not attached to a desk for 12 hours!! Working on computers I'm setting at a desk for hours. I recently got a job at a MAJOR media company and find the work to be boring and unimportant. I want a career were I can make a difference and see my work first hand. I was thinking about an architect but after the building is created, I'll be out of a job. Even though I've always been fascinated by the size and presence of large structures. Also a little recognition would not hurt.

P.S. I don't mind getting my hands dirty either. I was thinking about a construction manger, or a intelligence agent or U.S. Marshall. The work does not have to be physically challenging just fun and active.

What do you think?Exciting

Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why do you think they do it?
