You are 20 years old Almost 21. Has been on your own since 18. Has a job and is really responsible and mature. Is getting married in 7 mounths to a wonderful guy who works two jobs did have three, treats you right and does everything he can for you and to make you happy. You are about to go to the next step in your life. To rent to own a 150 thousand dallor really big nice house. And after the wedding start a family.That's a great life huh. One problem your dad is pissed off because the house is 8 minutes from him. When he gets mad he tends to not talk to you for a month. Bad mouths your soon to husband after he says he thinks he's the best thing to happen to you. And trys to control your life. Talking to him does not help at all. It makes things worse. As does sticking up for your self. Would you get the house despite of what your dad says and be happy. You have never asked him for money or anything else. What would you do?

Looking for opinions from those who have started working towards new careers in their mid to late 30's. I have about 10 years of well rounded experience in the IT field and I make a very comfortable salary, but I'm getting tired of the IT field. I have no degree at the moment.

If I wasn't so old, I would love to be a lawyer... Looking for a reasonable career where I might be able to take some of my current experience and wisdom and apply it.

I'm a web guy at heart; graphics, photography, some animation skills, programming, problem solving, server administration, network administration; but I can't compete with outsourced salaries in the web dev field, so I have to leave the web dev choice behind.

Any suggestions?

Okay, I posted this question last night, but I didn't get the answers I was hoping for, so I thought I should clarify my question. I'm quitting my job and I asked for the best way and if I was being rude to give her four days notice, b/c I don't work for four days...

Everyone said, "two weeks notice" Well, about a month ago I told my boss that I had another job that I had interviewed for and that when I found out about the new job I would be quitting and I gave her the option to "let me go" right then so when I did leave I wouldn't put her in a bind with the schedule. Then a couple of weeks ago after a second interview I went back to my boss and said you might want to go light on the hours until I find out for sure, but she insists that I won't start until the begining of the year and so she's not too concerned. It's not worth the gas money though for me to drive back if I get the other job bc I'm going home for the holidays and leaving college.

Not boasting, but I have a lot of information in my skull. I have a knowledge base covering: World history, U.S. History, Science, Geography, Current events, Music and Musicians, Movies and Actors, Automobiles (mechanical and general), Politics, economics, I speak some Spanish.
Basically I can keep up with most any conversation I walk into without steering off subject.
I'm particularly good at understanding: abstract concepts, governing principles and systems. I have tons of great ideas. Usually combining my knowledge of one subject with another, but I’m poor so they just collect dust.

I have a strong vocabulary.
I Draw well and paint moderately well.
I can fix most anything wrong with your car.
I can answer most any general knowledge question.
I type like the wind.
I can research a subject quickly and thoroughly using; internet, library, phone book, text books.
I understand social/economic trends.
I’m fit and I know some jiu-jitsu.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out

My company just went through a reorganization. Before I was a mid-level manager and after I'm still a mid-level manager. Before I was supervising a total of 5 permanent employees and 4-10 seasonal employees and I had a medium level of responsibility. Now I'm supervising 9 permanent employees, 3-10 seasonal employees, and I have a high level of responsibility.

A co-worker of mine, who is also a mid-level manager, went from supervising 13 permanent staff to 7 permanent staff and 1-3 seasonal staff. Here's where the problem comes in. This person has a salary 25% higher than mine.

More particulars: The co-worker has about 15 more years managerial experience than me but has only worked for our company for 1.5 years. I have worked for the company for 4 years now.

Should I argue for a pay raise, given that our budgetary outlook is not good?

I am a nurse and I am proud of it. It is a noble profession and it involves taking care of sick people 24/7 who maybe related or not related to us. But other people take nurse as just a second fiddle job and a doctor's halper. What is your opinion about it?

I am a young, college educated guy who needs a career path but I hate the fact that most of the entry level opportunities for college grads entail pushing buttons in a cubical. I’m not interested in office attire, politics or anything else. I was thinking about going back to school to become an EMT, and I was also thinking of being certified to teach…these are the sort of gigs that I could handle, no big city high rise for me (at least not as we typically would characterize that experience.) Does anybody have any other suggestions?

I do not mean to offend cubical bound button pushers…I hope you love your job, I’m just looking for a few suggestions. Thanks.

I'm planning to become a CPA. Currently, I'm in college (1.5yrs left) and work part-time as an accounts payable. Recently I was asked to come work at a CPA firm as an assistant in financial planning. The pay and hours are really good compared to my current job.

However, I'm not sure if learning the new things in the financial planning position will stress me out. It's all very new to me. Even though I'm not a brainiac, I am a very hard worker. But is that enough? I just don't want this job to take away too much time away from school. I'll be taking very difficult accounting courses.

I was wondering if I should stay at my current job OR take the new job and learn new things. Will this work experience look better on my resume? If i dont take this job, then will there be lots of other opportunities like this after I graduate? Will this get my foot in the door of the CPA world even though I won't be doing any accounting work?

EVERY bit of suggestions would be greatly appreciated
