I've been considering going into either massage therapy or nursing when I graduate from high school, but I've heard some negatives for both jobs. For example, massage therapy can be physically demanding and can cause carpotunnel.

But with nursing, the hours are hard, and its physically and mentally exhausting.

What to people who have, or experienced, these carreers think about them?

I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers, but I don't know everything. I want to make some money on my own, but I'm not sure how. I've considered selling screensavers I've created, but I'm not very far in that yet. I've also thought about selling homemade desktop backgrounds, but have now nixed that idea, mostly. I might come back to it later. Are there any easy but helpful occupations I could work that would get me a bit more money?

Please tell me if you need more information.

Weird stuff is happening at work. I have a good-paying job (at the moment), but I don't think the group I work with thinks I have the right qualifications (the academic criteria needed). I've seen them interview people for my position before Thanksgiving, & they keep on stalling my project. I'd reasonably see people starting in the new year, not before the holidays, so I think I have no job security

I feel like they're going to get rid of me 12/28 - It's a Friday & the last day of the year. I haven't been doing any work for a while, & it's like they don't trust me with any. They give me something out of obligation it seems rather than necessity

You'd think that people would just get rid of someone b/c someone just didn't work out. The argument there is that some people were nasty & harassing to me when I first started; others sabotaged my work to make me look unqualified. The truth is, I can do my job. The other truth is that they may want someone who looks good on paper

My parents own a condo which they rent out. The unit above them had their pipes burst, resulting in water damage to my parents unit. We have insurance, and we've gone through our insurance company, but the person above does not.

How does this work? I want to claim the damage, but the person above just had a stroke and I don't want him paying for it if he doesn't have to. How will the insurance company deal with this?

I got married in 2007 and I was the only wage earner in our family. My new wife is a stay at home mom, however she has a back child support debt. I called the IRS to find out if there was an offset in place for her debt. They confirmed that there was. I just want to know how much of my refund I will get back once I file and submitt the Injured Spouse form with our joint return.

I know that most lotteries state that the winner(s) cannot remain anonymous. I kind of understand the logic behind this to "somewhat" ensure that the winner is not associated with the lottery.

From what I understand, you don't "have" to appear in public getting pictures taken, etc, but the lottery board will still make your general info publicly available. Things like your town, state and last name of the winner(s).

Let's say I win $10 Million and want to remain anonymous. There are a lot of reasons for this - not wanting to get bombarded by people trying to get your money is probably one of the biggest, but what about the the potential security risks involved with the general public [good and bad] knowing who you are, how much you won and where you live... it's not really that hard to dig up info on people.

Could I get away with opening a Trust Fund [or similar], assign an executor with implicit instructions as "me" as the sole benefciary and let the trust fund cash it in?

My wife just started a new job as a server. While in computer training and server training they only paid her $3.15/hour.

While in training she was not allowed to collect tips, and at most her trainer would buy her a $6-$10 meal for a 4-8+ hour shift. She did ask for tips once and was given $12 dollars out of the $100+ they made that night.

Texas minimum wage is $6.55/hour which puts this restaurant far below minimum wage during training. There was not a single night that she earned minimum wage including meals and a few dollars thrown her way while in training.

To top this all off, I specifically told her to question her hourly rate while in training and she was told she is making $6/hour by her manager while in training.

She likes the job and doesn't want to lose it, so what is there to do? Something like this can make it nearly impossible to get another serving job in the same city, especially when it's a locally owned VERY popular franchise.

I'm a 44 year old single parent in a dead-end job. I make $44k per year, no hope of promotion, no insurance benefits. I have a monthly house payment of $1,600 and I am 2 months behind. Friends keep telling me to cash in my pension/profit sharing (about $200,000), pay the house off, and start over. Is this a good idea?
