It is my general observation through practical experience in the job market that people who belong to either one of the 5 professions are most respectable and get paid most:
1. Doctors(medical)
2. Accountants
3. Lawyers
4. Soldiers/Marines
5. Teachers
Now if someone does not fall into one of the above professions then it is worthy for him to become a "salesman" .
Now am i right to say or think like that? I want to reach to a conclusion.Please comment!

It is time for my annual pay raise and I was wondering is it "proper" to submit cards and letters of appreciation that I have received from agents and the broker of the real estate office that I work at to HR along with my paperwork?

I work full time- thursday in one place and the other four days in another place. I've been offered an interview for the thursday but the company I work for is less than keen on me having time off. But if I rearrange the interview the other company could feel the same way. Do either company have obligations to allow me the time off as theoretically I'm part time at both jobs. How can I force them to give me time off, or should I rearrange and phone in sick to the other job?

This is for the hooters girls out there. I just started working at hooters and I am currently being trained on service bar. When do I get paid, since I'm not "certified" yet and haven't been on the floor yet I leave home every day broker than the day before because gas is killing me. When will I start making money or will I get a paycheck while I'm in training?

I was working in a call center in a sales position. I was also in psychotherapy to treat mental illness. A job counselor told me that my best work prospects would be to continue in telemarketing but given my medical condition he advised me to go for disability. I asked my psychotherapist about getting a disability pension and he told me he wanted me to work. After I was no longer in his care, I went ahead and applied for disability and I was approved quickly for it. What do you make of my story?

When I look at the technology of today and compare it to my first job I am amazed. I clearly remember doing wages for some 100 employees by hand/typing letters with carbon paper etc., and today I wonder how it all happened.

I have employed someone since Sept 05. The terms of employment (relevant to this question) were essentially that hours would be varied (but never weekends or nights) and a (generous) flat rate would be applied. Consequently this person sometimes does 20 hours one week and perhaps 50 hours the next. From Jan 07, we increased the hourly pay rate by 8% and promised a guaranteed 40 hours a week paid whether I have work to give them or not. i.e. if they work 20 hours, they would be paid for 40 hours a week. If they did 50 hours in a week, they would be paid for 50 hours. This employee is now insisting he is entitled to a minimum 8 hours pay per day (Mon-Fri), whether we have work for him or not. I disagree as his terms of employment were an improvement on their previous terms and there will be many weeks where he is paid for hours not worked.
Am I obliged to pay?

When I went back to work about 4 months ago I told them that I only wanted 4 days a week. They said it would be no problem. I didn't tell them why because it wasn't important concerning the hiring process. I'm a photographer with a nationally known portrait studio. I told my district manager, who does the schedules, two months ago about my health problems, an immune deficiency requiring infusions every two months, fibromyalgia and beginning stages of multiple sclerosis.

I was promoted to studio manager within a month of being hired, then they started scheduling me for 5 days a week, now I'm working 4 full days and 2 3/4 days a week. I told my DM that I couldn't work that much but she said that I had to because we were so short handed across the area and she didn't have anyone else to work.

This work schedule is making my health get rapidly worse. I was denied for SSD due because of my age not my health as my lawyers said. Do I have any protection under the ADA, and what should I do?

They keep moving my desk and now it's in the corner and my boss is even talking about moving me in the basement and suggesting I help take care the bug problem down there,

My boss keeps taking my stapler, my red swingline. Every day it's taken from me.

I have also not been getting paid for weeks now I think they took me off the payroll. That's the last straw. what can I do?

Hello everyone,
I can't quite seem to find it, but I remember I found a government webpage that had a HUUUUUUUUGE index of different jobs and would give information on what it meant to go into that field, what you'd be doing, what requirements you'd need, and the yearly incomes on average. I'd greatly appreciate any help because I know I want to go into the chemical field, but I want to see what sounds of most interest to me.

Thank you,
Benjamin T. Atkerson
