Does it matter which college you go to to get your AA in either RT or RN? There is a college by my house that opened that has these programs but it is not well known and I dont know about its reputation. Will it affect me when trying to get a job if i go to this college?

my job search is depressing and no producing any results - I have gone on interviews but when they ask for work or internship experience and I say that I went to school full time- it looks hopeless. What should I do? should take just any retail job in the time being, any HR specialist out there? anyone ever been in this situation? I cant be the only person

I have a friend who is 31 years old and has a PhD in chemistry. She's considering attending law school (patent law) as it's something she's interested in. A few questions about this:

1. Will she likely feel out of place at the age of 31/32 in law school - just based on her age?
2. Is a PhD in chem a reasonable background for a career in patent law? Will it help in any way both in school as well as in her career? Will it be a hindrance of any sort? (Don't know why it would be but I thought I'd ask)
3. She has no children (is married) but would like children some day. She's concerned that going back to school (3-4 years) and then starting a new career will get in the way of having children (and vice versa). What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for the answers, all!

Does anyone have any idea of how to see if you are getting bad or negative references from past Employers or persons who you have put as a reference for employment?

I'm a Japanese girl getting married to an English guy next year. But we are planning to move to the West Coast since my company has a branch there.
He earns 450 pounds per day in UK, and he's been offered for a position permanetnly for 80-120K + pension + insurance. But we're both not sure how good this offer is, as we have never lived in the States before.
Especially, I haven't lived in both UK or US, so I don't have a clue. Thinking of myself getting a job for 50K (guessing) anualy, would this be enough to have familly and kids, with a safe place to live?
I'm seriously seeking for guidance.

That certificate has now expired and my concern is that if I treat somone in my workplace now and complications arise, am I legally responsible. Any advice is appreciated.

The problem is is that I'm approaching all these businesses in town, filling out applications, & walking out feeling pessimistic 'cause I know they would hire someone else w/ more experience. & my resume is embarrassingly light; no work or volunteer experience. Even some temp agencys require that I need work exp.! Damn! What do I oughta do the next time I respond 2 a "Help Wanted" sign by a store's window or once I registered on Home Depot.com hoping that there's a job available 4 me?

I recently started working in a company two months ago. I am overqualified for this position and want to look for a better job.
There is an opening available in another department which better suits my interest and qualifications. I dont want this opportunity to pass me by. Can apply for this position or should I continue in my current job for a few month more before I look for something else?

He says **** about everybody. Everyone kind of just sits there and takes it but it really is demoralizing. I hate going to work (but I have to, bills to pay). Is there some way to get this guy fired?

Long story but i wont bore you with it, just quick summary. I have been trying to get in for a little under 2 years, i have been denied due to a medical condition, which i didnt know i had, i went under treatment for a year and it improved greatly but still not normal. It doesnt hinder my abilities in any way mentally or physically and is not currently progressive.
I have been appealing for over 6 months and its a losing battle. I have submitted doctors notes, and lab reports but they still will not give me the benefit of the doubt. In case you are wondering I am so determined because i absolutely want/need to become Navy SEAL. They are denying me entry into the Navy period not the SEAL program. I really don't know what to do, all my hard work will be in vain if i quit but if i keep going who knows if i will ever get in and it is cutting into my life in ways that are devastating to me, socially, mentally, financially....and i really dont have a basis for a real world career right now

Bitchyness is rife, and there is absoultely no-one happy. the company has recently changed contracts, and i have new managers. i have been offered this contract for less money and more hours, but because where i work, my hours as a casual are all over the place, although i can pick up more in another department. my bosses are really nasty and they lie. i am probably only going to be in the job for another 4 months. i often take long weekends at the moment to tkavel to another state to visit family, and i am studying, which will be harder to do with more hours. please help me!!!
