Careers & Employment - November 2006

Me and my friend are engineering students, and getting decent grades in our school is very difficult, and grades are not an accurate representation of how well we know the material (we're at a big school that doesn't care about our well being...) Anyway, we were wondering if any of you could give us some information regarding the role GPAs play in getting a job. Any information you can give would be great. Thanks!

Since I started this job 5 months ago, I have gotten VERY little training. My boss's attention is divided up by two different divisions, and he hasn't had any time to spend with me in the office, or on the road. He seems to think I have had EXTENSIVE training. When I asked him what extensive training was, he said it was On The Job training.. that I have been out in the field for 5 months now. Then I said "so EXTENSIVE training means that I have been training myself for 5 months?" He basically said YES, that was my training. What should I do... I don't want to get fired for some BS like this. If I go over his head, I know it will just get back to him and I'll end up getting canned anyways. Help please!

Is it that the architect builds what the interior designer designs? Or that the designer is more concentrated on the look & feel of a space and the architect with the structure? Also, which field is more lucrative or has higher earnings potential?

I work at a Rental store and the only girl there is ripping me off of new accounts that I brought in. She's not a manager or anything, she just helps the AM with the paperwork at the end of each day. She's also nagging me about "you should go here" or "you should go there" and is really rude to me. I think it's because she may have found out how much money I'm making. She's been there for 2 or 3 years and I'm making the same that she is - according to the AM. I know everyone has to deal with that ONE bytch in the office, but this one is getting out of control. Any ideas on what I can do to get her back or fyred? ALL ideas welcome!!!

If an employer asks which day is better for interviewing, today or tomorrow, and you say tomorrow, can you call them back and reschedule it for the same day instead?

I have had a pretty bad couple years in a lot of aspects of my life and now I am finding it hard to get motivated. I have no job, and no vehicle to even get to a job. Pretty much no money, my boyfriend is letting me live with him so I can get on my feet. I have been very lazy cause I just don't know what to do anymore. I wasn't always like this. My father passed away 2 years ago this month (im 21) could that have something to do with this? Any suggestions on how to get motivated?

Hey everyone,
I'm a graphic designer and about 2 weeks ago my friend asked me if I would re-do her website (She is a photographer and wanted the site totally redone)
She said she didn't care what it costs and to just bill her when its done.
Now this lady has been a friend of mine for 5 years (not close friend, but coffee once a month friend) and I'm unsure what to charge her.
I usually charge $25 an hour for my design work. Now it took me about 3 hours to design it and another 3 hours going through and fixing all these little details that she wanted done (eg. Banner is to blue, banner is now to blue... etc)

Should I charge her like a client or make up a new price for her as a friend?


Thanks!

Melissa

Who on this Yahoo Answers thing actually didn't go to College or University? And still got a great paying job?

I'm @ work right now and I got people telling me how important college and UNI is....IF it is so great then why do half of the ones who do attend work for McD*cks or any fast food place, why aren't they working in some high powerful job? My parents well my mother has her own company(own boss) and my father was a welder and both of them never went to college or UNI and they or my mother is doing great. So for the ones who did go why are they so miserable and work at dead end jobs? My older sister is the ONLY ONE who made it to college in my family and we all have great high IQ's?? Tell me that one guys really need to know this.
I am done High School and using my College fund for my townhouse in 2yrs =D

I just read an article that wages are rising. Are yours?
I make $15/hr in central Florida as an office manager. But most jobs like this in this area are about $10-$12. The cost of living here is so high wages are a joke. You cannot buy a house ever making money like this.

What do you make in other parts of the country?
