I have to drive for Swift trucking for 14 months since they paid for my school. But I was told by a driver with Schnieder trucking that I can switch my contract over to them and still pay off the loan. I know if I were to quit or just not show up I would owe them, but I think I can make better money with another company. Truckers make good money, but I will be broke for the first year, I'm sure.

Basically, I have changed what I've wanted to do for the rest of my life about every year. But I'll star from my freshman year of highschool for you guys: first, I wanted to be an archaeologist. The idea of travel intrigued me, but nothing else about being an archaeologist popped out really. Then, I wanted to be a biologist in the beginning of my sophomore year, because I found the work incredibly easy (which is a plus in my book--I don't mind hard work, but if somethings easy, I'm all for it)--that is, until we got to studying cells and genetics. So I narrowed my option down to either environmental science or zoology.

Unfortunately, this idea wasn't as appealing to me this year, as I've gotten over my romanticized idea of it.

Now, I want to be a doctor--but I feel this is unlikely (I have a 3.02 average). Also, my dad tells me that I have a romanticized version of being a doctor as well from watching House.

I'm not really partial to law, mathematics, or teaching...

Curiosity ? Mine was my attitude if effecting production and morale. Oh and after many, many years of service. 15+ years. Don't you just hate it that one person can effect your whole life! Maybe not forever that is, but long enough to effect your lively hood.

I work for a company that has been open for about 6 months and is growing exponentially. I have worked for this company for 4 months. I am the youngest person here by about a year or two. But, I am always on time, more so than any of the other employees, I get sick rarely, and when I need time off, I put in a request at least a month prior. Since I am the youngest I think I am discriminated against. When new employees come in, they listen to my conversations and selling pitches the most, I am one of top sales people, and the most consistant. Since I have worked here, I was up for a promotion but another employee got the promotion. Now, since the review they have promoted my fellow employee to manager. As they did this I was training a new employee. Frankly, I am tired of putting out this effort, and I don't feel as if I will reap the benefits. I can sell anything, should I get a new job?

p.s. I keep asking when my evaluation is, and they say later.

I just politely gave my employer a three week notice, not two, three because a co worker is going on vacation. I am quitting because I do a good job and the patients I work with tell the doctor I work for how helpful I was etc. I am a receptionist for an optometrist. I asked for a raise after 10 months. I was turned down and told that they didn't give raises only occasional bonuses. Well the ad was placed in the paper for my replacment and I saw it and the pay rate is a DOLLAR more an hour than I am currently making. What would you do? Confront them or just let it go since I am leaving anyway?

If you were going to form a company and expertise, time, and brainstorming in your spare time would get you a share in a company once put together would you try it or dismiss the idea completely. Now ask yourself what if the piece could be worth 2 million for your time. I myself give up time and receive nothing but satisfaction in return. Would you be willing to form a team to work on the side ( not giving up your day job ) and take a chance.

I am in my final stages of completing my BA Accounting with Business degree. Will finish in Dec 07. I have come across a contact who can help me get work experience working in the Houses of Parliament. I am kinda in two minds whether to proceed with this great work experience or reject it as it has nothing to do with finance. So i ask advice on whether it would be worthwhile getting work experience at the Houses of Parliament (not sure what ill be doing but i think it will involve meeting with people) or reject it as it has nothing to do with finance? If so how much is renting accomodation nearby?

For someone who has gotten their associate degree in accounting and has no work experience in the field, what are some job options that are in the finance arena?
Also, is it sufficient to just obtain a bachelors degree for this profession, or is a masters or CFA a must? All constructive feedback and tips are greatly appreciated.
