My school has really gone downhill and I can't stand it anymore. I am going to carry it out though, and (hopefully) get my A Levels, I've just done my AS levels. But, because I hate it so much, I really don't think I want to go to university anymore. I'd rather go out and work. I've thought this for a long time and now that I am actually having to look at and apply for universities I feel a lot more strongly about it. What jobs can I get (not like mcdonalds or anything) without a degree?

Recently I went for a job interview - the interview was arranged through an employment agency. I interviewed and was passed over for the job. No biggie.

But I was later told by my recruiter that the interviewer had a lot of harsh personal criticism of me as rationale for her decision not to hire me.

Although I was disappointed not to get the job offer, what really peed me off was what this person said about me in front of my recruiter because, while it's one thing not to offer someone a job, it's a whole different story to bad-mouth their character in front of a recruiter and (in the process) possibly sabotage their chances at future jobs that may crop up.

Was I within my right to write a letter of protest to the interviewer's manager?

I've been with a compnay for a couple of years now and am SERIOUSLY under paid, however I love the company and the people and am the best guy there. A friend of mine has an uncle that has offered me a job making over twice the money plus insurrance and what not for almost the same kind of work.

Do I quit the job I love with great people for double the money?

I've always wanted to travel. I would love to work, for now, as a flight attendant or on cruise line. I want to travel and get paid for it. So how can I go about it or what other jobs are there like this and how do I get hired? Criteria?

I want to become a college professor, and to do that you need a PhD. I just graduated with my BA, which is in a field that a BA is useless in (you need a Master's or PhD to work in this field). I currently work in retail and I plan to continue working there for the next 2 years so I can save up money and pay for the rest of my education rather than go now and get student loans and be in debt.
Everyone I know including my family keeps making me feel bad and saying stuff like I'm an idiot for working at a minimum wage job and they keep saying things like Why are you working a job that high school drop outs and 15 year old idiots have when you have a college degree. I'm getting really annoyed but unfortunately, cause they've been saying this for a while now over and over again, I'm kinda starting to believe it. Any suggestions or ideas on what to do to shut them up?

I'm trying to get a job in Northern VA, but I live in NC. I know that some employers don't pay much attention to out of state applicants and was wondering if it was ok to use a friend's address in VA instead. My friend says I have her permission to use it, but doesn't that pose a legal issue to lie about your address to potential employers?

I worked for a major law firm in NY about 10 yrs ago. I had quit because my supervisor (female) was always in my azz about "something" - anything - even though my work was excellent, I worked late & wkends all the time & had no problems. I think she was jealous of me but anyway, I quit & tried to come back later but they rejected me. They said I "left them high & dry" - but at the same time, I got good letters of references from a top lawyer there and also from the manager in the MIS Dept. Now I want to apply for a job in one of their offices in another state but I'm afraid someone in the NY office will try to sabotage me. I never did anything to jeopardize my job when I worked in the NY office but I believe a few people there was jealous of me when I worked there & they always found a reason to approach me about something insignificant.

Does anyone think I'd have a problem if I applied & got a job in one of their offices in another state? Is there a way to ensure I'd be secure if I worked at that firm again in another state? Or should I stay away from that firm altogether?

I have a problem sticking with jobs. I always quit them after a month or two because I hate them. The longest job I've ever kept was 2 full years, but quit it to attend college. Then throughout college (about 6 years) I lived off of student loans and credit cards, got 1 job my freshman year that I only worked at for 2 months, and another one my junior year that I worked for 1 month and the most recent job was last year and that lasted 2 months. I quit them after a month or two cause I'm the kind of person who will not stay doing something that I can't stand. I can't leave out all of those short stints on my resume cause then it will look like I've been unemployed for 6 yrs and if I do put them on my resume, nobody will want to hire me. I wouldn't even want to hire me! What to do. What to do??
Oh and don't say something like put volunteer crap on my resume, cause I didn't volunteer anywhere since that's not my thing either. I was in a sorority in college and that was pretty much it.

I am physically disabled and would like to work.

I do not want to work $7 to $10 an hour; I want to work at least $15 to $30 an hour.

Aside from becoming a doctor or a pharmacist, what other degree that is easy but pays what I need? How many years do I have to remain in school for?

Remember I am physically challenged, which means I am relatively weak.
