Business & Finance - 16 October 2007

hi, i'm a freshman in high school and i'm looking for a career and the one that keeps coming to mind for me is owning my own hotel chain. i am currently taking business core but it is more toward the retail-type business careers. or whatever you wanna call it--anyways, what classes should i take and what should i read/study? i want to start now and work to it through high school so i can make my dream come true. please don't reply with any sarcastic "ask paris hilton" answers--100% serious answers please. (i do have a sense of humor, but i DO need an answer.) thanks so much!

i did yahoo search on Mortgage Cancellation Tax Relief and maybe 9 results with same articles, different links. i called irs today to confirm and a person said he hasn't heard of it. he said usually, irs gets informed before publically announced yet isnt aware of such. also said it's not easy to pin point the eligibility of 1099 bail out or not.
im filing chapt 7 because what irs web stated for 'you may not owe 1099 if you are insolvent, or bankrupt'.
im backing out on a shortsale because of 1099 fear that i'll owe irs for years.

am i making a good decision of filing bankruptcy and how can i rebuild my credit again...?

I don't plan to steal your idea, this is just an assignment for college course that requires me to do a quick and dirty 1-page feasibility study. The business idea can be anything: a new product, a new service, a new way of doing business, etc. I am completely stuck and cannot think of anything so ANY ideas are welcome!

Here in Massachusetts EVERYONE has to have health insurance, and if you wanna drive you have to have car insurance. How can this be legal? How can the government force me into buying a product or service?! Whats next, are they going to make it mandatory for everyone to buy 7th generation ipods? This is ridiculous. What if i dont want insurance? What if i cant afford it? WTF?!! Is their any legal way around this? Or are they going arrest me if i dont get any insurance? Should i board up my windows and stock up on guns?

I am a college student studying taxes.
In my book it briefly mentioned that you can claim a vehicle expenses deduction. I know that for business purposes there is usually a deduction or reimbursement from your employer, but is there a deduction for a car with personal use.(either mileage or gas expenses) Also as a student would it benefit me to depreciate my car? (Not sure if I can do that either?)
