Do most countries require you to have a degree from their country or is it usually up to their qualifications?

I have had a couple of jobs where adults sit around coloring. One job was a reservationist for Ramada Inns. The next job was at Whirlpool. The manager said "if you want to advance in this company I reccomend that you don't color, but coloring is not prohibeted." This I think is the ultimate in juvenile behaviour run amok. If you answer "its cool, I do it," then you are automaticly not cool.

My boyfriend keeps telling me I need to get another job because I only make a little over mininum wage but I love my job. Its the first I've had where I dont wake up every am not wanting to go work. It just me and my boss in the office and she has become a very close friend. She buys lunch everyday and gives me extra money for gas when I run errands and because she doesnt offer insurance, she pays for my dental visits. I really dont want to get another job. Plus Im 5 wks pregnant. He says I should get another job and then after Im there for a while tell them Im pregnant but even then I might not even go back to work once the baby is born because we'd be paying more for our three kids to go to daycare than I would bring home. He makes good money and we have a settlement and my tax returns coming to go into savings. What would you do if you were in my situation?

I am going to be graduating from College in May, and was wondering when would be a good time to start my job search and start sending resumes to companies. How far in advance do most companies hire employees? I don't want to waste the time of recruiters by sending out my resumes in December if they don't typically start thinking about June hires until April.

I applied for an engineering internship (paid) about a month ago. The deadline for applying was three weeks ago, and I haven't heard from them.... Is that normal, or did I just not get the job?

I am currently on workmans compensation in Lousiana. I do not have an attorney,because I can't afford for the 20% that the lawyers take every week. I only get $86.63 a week. I am told that is because I made little over minimum wage. If I would have made $450.00 A week the financial settlement would be grander. I fell on a wet floor and hurt my back. I need an operation to repair the five bulging disc in my back as a result of the fall. And workmans compensation has offered me a settlement that would not even pay for the operation. I need to know what are my rights pertaining to this. I think that is totally discrimanative and prejudical. If I were making more money I would be worthy of an operation or a good settlement to help me get my life back in order. I'm very depressed because of this and the pain is chronic and constant. PLEASE! help me to find out if this is true or just something that the insurance is telling me to get me to settle for less than what my injury is worth.

I don't hate my current job, but don't want to be there anymore (don't fully grasp the area I work in, but don't want to continue education in that area).

I am looking for another job, but meanwhile I have to work with her.
Other people have issues with her to and it's already been brought up with the boss. He says he will do something about her; problem is, she's good at her job, even if she annoys the hell out of the rest of us!
I just need to not explode for the next few weeks so I'm looking for 'how to stay calm' ideas....

I'm trying to compile information for a persuasive speech about the discrimination in the work place of younger people. Most people believe that because I am young, I can get a job right off the bat, but I'm having a hard time finding a job than my 54-year-old mother. I was wondering if anyone had any resources for me to use for this project. I would appreciate prompt responses.
