I got my degree in accounting, and just got a job in an accounting firm. I will be making $45,000, but will 40-50 hours a week. I am 22 and think that now my life is over and all i am going to do is work and have no fun in life anymore even though i make alot more money. I know my other friends did not go to college and work at fast food places but have fun all day and night, but now i think that those days are over for me. Is being 22 too young to start working your career already? Or will i still get have a life and have fun?

I am 18 and and my hopes and plans revolved around moving from FL. to CA to be with my GF then attend college. I have achieved moving to CA, in the bay area and am living in my apartment with my gf. Everything was going good, I am working full time at a pharmacy just ready to start dental assissting course for the fall semester and then it became some rough terrain. I got rejected for Pell Grant because my father cashed out his retirement fund because he needed the money to just pay the bills...(so i looks like he is making too much i suppose) i can't claim independence on that... and since i haven't been here 1 year... paying all out of my pocket will be about 2k for the semester. Thats my first problem. THEN, my landlord just called recently and said he needs me to move out in about a month because he will soon rent the above floor out and his mother is going to take my studio.. (i am under a 12 month lease and it has only be 6 months) the rent was cheap for this area so, instead

how important is it, to be social. do you need to be a social butterfly, or can you just speak when spoken to? I can do both, however, I want to be balanced, and I know that it can be done. I just need a push in the right direction!
Thanks for your help!!
God Bless you all!

Most PMP certified project managers are usually from the IT (information technology) industry. I wonder if the PMP certification will be good for people who are in marketing.

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.

theirs this guy at work who's output of work is way less than others. I dont care but a coworker seems to let it bother him. He's approached the supervisor with it but the supervisors does nothing about it because its very hard to fill and keep someone. Also, he thinks that its playground stuff. however, it has a effect on moral. so, the coworker that it bothers taken it over the supervisors head. which is fine but manager is at different location and has a hand off approach. All he sees is the revenue from the customer and the job still gets done. it maybe not efficient but its effective. I have been there for years and ive seen people come and go but they self destruct on thier own. My question is should the coworker actually pursue this to the manager or should he try to overlook it until that person selfs destruct?

I am working at a contract position. The company headquarters is moving soon so I am training someone to do the work that I do.

She is very agressive and "macho"acting. She constantly tries to find mistakes in my work or work that I show her. She also wants to show that she is smarter than anyone else and can learn quicker and make the process better.

How should I deal with her? Other contractors also feel the same way.

She is the kind of person that uses you when she needs you and otherwise does not talk to you. They say Hi to her in the hallway and she does not respond.

I don't want to say anything to my boss. Its best just to grin and bear it.

Does anyone have any other tips? I think if let her be, she will dig her own grave or make her own strong position. I am just her to do my job which if it includes training her, that's what I have to do. I am at least earning money for it.

I'm thinking of quitting and retraining full time at uni as not happy in current job and line of work. I'm scared I'm not doing the 'right' thing, how can you ever know what a good career is for you until you try it? Has anyone packed it all in and done this? What were your experiences? Did it 'work out'? So many questions!

I'm 24 and since the age of 18 I've been working with law firms and have got my salary up to £30k. When I tell my friends and others my salary they go crazy and my mum is so proud of me earning so much. My husband doesn't even get £5k a year but he still has time off to do what he wants and I just feel like I can't work this hard anymore and need to take a break. The problem is I'm with a good law firm and to find another one would probably be really hard but I just feel as though I really want to take a break from it all. I've worked non-stop for the past 7 years and I just feel as though all I ever do is work work work - I don't care how much I'm earning I'm bored stiff and I'm young and my marriage is suffering. I want to try and do other things with my life and perhaps find a part time job at a law firm which would cut my salary in half, but I don't care. My weight is increased because all I ever do is sit at my desk and eat - I used to be slim and trim, now I'm just fat.

I would like to call in to work tomorrow but I need a good enough excuse. The biggest problem is that I live with one of my coworkers so if I don't actually appear sick, I can't use that excuse. Any ideas on a good excuse?

* If so how and by whom?

* Please give stories if you have been treated differently because you are not a permanent staff member.

All so that managemnt can get a bigger bonus when they give it to everyone? If your employer was doing this ,would'nt you be thinking of an way to get out of that enviroment?Or start looking for a better job?
Not to mention the A/C turns the place into muggy place instead of keeping employers and customers cool while shopping or working.
