Do I suck?
I currently have 85 in taxable income, Have 3 Rental Homes, and 120 in the stock market and 30 in Cash. Real Estate is valued over 700k. I am only 24? I heard lots of 24 year olds are already making 80k and bigger salaries is this true? Do I suck? Are my assests competive or am I poor?

I just graduated from college and am looking for entry level jobs in the communications field. Since I haven't had a full time career oriented job, I am curious about what people my age and other young professionals are making and their benefits. I only ask because I am genuinely interested for my own sake, and I want to use that information to help me decide what salary/benefits to ask for when interviewing, as well as to decide what type of jobs I want to apply for. The problem is, I can't get it out of ANYBODY. It's such a taboo. I ask in a very polite way and explain my situation, yet even people my own age are hesitant to divulge that information. How do I get around this, and why is it such a taboo?

Hey, so I got hired at this clothing retail store, and they told me I was hired on Monday (6/11) pretty recently after the interview (6/6). They said they would call by yesterday, Friday (6/15) if one got the job or not, so I made the cut off pretty well. Well, they told me schedules had already been printed so they'll call me later in the week....they never called, so today I called them and they said that my name is in the system, but I don't have any hours because I haven't had orientation yet (4 hours). They told me to call back at 4. So i called back about 10 minutes ago, and the nice lady I was supposed to talk to wasn't there (yet she told me to call), and this other person told me to call monday at noon. I'm getting kind of scared now....anybody help me? This is American eagle

I have a telephone interview on Tuesday for a job that I recently applied for and I'm trying to do some research into the type of questions I'm likely to be asked. I think one of the questions I could be asked has something to do with how to handle a dissatisfied and angry customer.

At work, all staff are being asked to come up with at least 5 KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) as a means of measuring your on-job performance. I am a technical writer and mechanical engineer employed in the oil industry.

I would welcome any suggestions....

Thanx

So I have had a job at a certain healthy fast food restaurant for the past 9 months and recently, my manager hired some new people that I had to train. My boss has always told other employees and myself that I am the best worker, but recently I found out that she pays other, newer, workers more because they are either a few years older or have come from another job and demanded a certain wage. I myself have a asked for a wage increase and my boss said they would give it to me after exams but that didn't happen. Some of these new workers really suck and she knows it! Any advice on what I should do?? By the the way, I'm making $6.75.
