Careers & Employment - December 2006

I'm a college grad with a not so great employment history, and after watching shows like Bike Off and American Chopper on the Discovery Channel during weekday mornings while I remain out of work, I am now starting to toy with the idea of doing good ol' manual labor to help pay the bills. I'm not talking about being a floor sweeper, but a job requiring a little more skill and higher pay. One position I am considering is one where you lay tiles. I have a tiny bit of experience doing that.. any other ideas? I would probably start out doing odd jobs and stuff like that. I don't have a vocational degree or certification and definitely am too entrenched in debt to consider going back to school. And no I'm not open to taking out a loan.

I’m pretty sure that teens can’t do things with the meds but can they still be hired to work at a pharmacy store and see how things work and assist the pharmacist ...more like being assistance? If anyone knows anything about this please tell.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm almost a junior is high school and I'd really like to know my career path by next school year, especially since I'm THINKING about graduating early.

Anyway, I'm thinking of becoming a pharmacist because I just love chemistry, science and medicine. It fascinates me. I've done research on pharmacy schools and curriculum within each school. I've also done research on the descriptions of what they actually do, but I can't find much on that. With all of that school, I want to be sure that I'm making the right career choice. So could please answer a few questions for me?
--If you are or know a pharmacist, I would LOVE a detailed description of what you/they do!
--How much respect do they receive or deserve?
--Anything else relevant that you think I should know?

Thank you so much!

I mainly just need something that gives a good reason for me to tell my bosses I'm quitting. Because the only reason I have is because I can't put up with their crap anymore. But I can't say that. I have to come up with something professional .

I am employed exempt in my primary position and non exempt in my secondary position, both as a nurse for a large health care system. Human resources is now telling me I must limit my hours worked in the secondary position(non-exempt) to 40% of my total hours. I am part time and do not ever go over the 40 hr work week. What gives?

than if you didn't respect them?

For example -
I currently work for an attorney who I have no respect for and I find myself "just doing my job" rather than going above and beyond. For every other employer I had (all of which I respected) I seemed to always try to do more than what was expected. And I have worked with many attorney's in the past - so he's not the first. But I really have no respect for him.

My friend was trained to be an engineer (electronic/comm engg) and is doing her final year LLB. She did law partly because her engineering firm was closing down, and she didn't like doing engineering design. And getting one more qualification will do her do harm.

She is not sure whether she should be a lawyer. She'd like to give it a go but it sounds a bit too much for her at the moment. Does anybody know what a solicitor normally do? I know it's a vague question and I don't know her areas of interests either (family or commercial etc....) but any ideas would be gratefully received.

Many thanks.

I'm looking for a more fulfiling career, something more hands on and creative. Perhaps something I could do on my own or even working for another company. I'm currently a banker and somewhat bored with numbers.

I'm going to school full time, but I want a part-time job. I want to work in international relations, but really want to improve my communication and people skills. Bascially I have to become a master with people and conversation. So which job would offer that? I mean if I'm gonna work maybe I could get something more than money out of it right? I'll list some, but if you have a better idea please feel free to post.

Convergy's-lots of money- Talk on the phone with strangers and help them with problems they may have with e-mail sevices or whatnot.-I hate sitting-

Bartender/waitress-tips- Interacting with groups of men and women routinely-can be more charismatic- BUT i'm pretty and do not need a fat hairy old man trying to slap my ***!

Waitress-normal resturant- tips- working with older people- I reaaly want to get away from the food industry

Receptionist-sitting(grrrr)-liitle more money- acting fake and perpetually happy

life guard-fun but mostly liitle kids
