Careers & Employment - December 2006

I briefly considered a career in nursing, but I was scared away by all of the horror stories of b*tchy, cliquey, catty coworkers, mistreatment and attitude from patients, doctors who look down on nurses, mean supervisors, lack of retirement savings, physical and mental stress, etc. (just google "i hate nursing" to read it all). I know there are good points and bad points to each career, but it seems like the people who hate their nursing careers REALLY hate it a LOT. Some nurses were so depressed by their jobs that they cried all the time and wanted to commit suicide. Is it really that bad?

I'd like to get a Master's. Are there any careers out there that are high in demand and will allow me to move around fairly easily? (For example... work a year in Chicago, then move to Honolulu and work a year there, then maybe work a year in Australia, etc.)

I have to write a Christmas letter from my boss to all staff and I'd like to say something a bit more original than thanks for all your hard work, have a good rest and be ready to work even harder next year...

So what would you like your boss to say to you?

I would like to know what you folks would do in my situation. My husband and I are not doing well money wise. We are both out of work and I'm currently looking for a job. Anyway, I saw in the paper today that there is a position at the company that I used to work for. The problem is that they have hired two different times to work there before. Both times I quit I gave them plenty of notice that I was leaving. The other problem that I'm having is its not going to pay me half of what I need to live on, but it is a job. I was thinking about just doing that job if they hire me as a temperary thing until they find someone to fill the postion. What to you think?

I have 18 experience working with reptiles (including snakes and alligators), public speaking, and working with children. I have permits from the state of Florida to possess and display alligators for educational purposes. I worked on a nature tour boat for nearly two years (until it sold last month and the boat moved across the state.), and have experience handling money and making change. I would be willing to relocate for the right company, but would prefer to stay in the central Florida area.

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

The company I've worked for for 10 years is closing the facility I work at...I was asked to stay until it shuts down and I would be given 1 months salary severance pay. My co-worker with basically the same job is male and has worked here about 5 years and was offered 6 months severance if he stayed until the end. He was told by management not to discuss the amount he was offered. Does this sound biased to anyone else? I think I should go talk to a lawyer. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice?

I am graduating this week from school so I am job searching...any ideas?

I have been working for 3 months and started 1st year university. I attended my last lecture of the semester yesterday and exams start on Friday, Dec. 8. However, my employer (a large retail department store) wants me to work many hours over the next two weeks, which will not leave me much time to study for my upcoming exams.

My next shifts are: Wednesday night & Saturday night. I thought it would be reasonable to drop a resignation letter either today or tomorrow before my shift on wendesday, then attend the shift on wednesday and indicate in my letter my services will not be available for the Saturday night shift and for the future.

Is 4 days notice enough? I am still in the probationary 90 days in which i can be fired whenever they like. I do not have a copy of my employment contract, but i don't think there is any legal matter involved.

Please give me your opinion: is dropping a letter of resignation to my manager and giving them 4 days notice sufficient to leave my job?

I am a 20 year old guy (just turned 20 actually), and I want to go to China to study chinese thoroughly on September-January. I need $7300 and I already have $2000 saved up. I live in Peru and earn $500 a month (full-time), but I am miserable at work and this work will only be viable until the end of February. Then I have university from March to beginning of July, which leaves me July and August to work at who knows where (this job is no longer viable for these months).
I am an american citizen, which means I could go to work to the US (plus with all the experience) and I have a family in Miami, Florida with whom I could live with.

The only problem is that I don't have a secure job to get into in USA, but I could look for one. My viable working months are January, February, July, August. Is it possible for me to get a good job? Is it smart of me to leave my current job?

Please help.

I have several years of retail store management, and a few years in retail sales too.. Certainly I'm more qualified than most others that would apply. Do I need to have tons of product knowledge like a fashion designer?
Will they probably perfer to not hire me because I am a man?
