ive always wanted to be a pilot ever since i can remember. my dad and i have always been interested in planes and aviation. my dads dream was to become a pilot but he never did, i want to become a pilot and i always have, but along with fulfilling that dream for me i also want to do it for my dad (he died about 3 years ago). my best friend says he wants to become a pilot and he knows that was my dream also. i am not that great in math and i wear contacts so im already at a disadvantage for getting into the USAF. my friend is pretty good at math and honestly, if he became a pilot and i didnt i would be crushed. i do not know how i could watch my best friend live my dream. what should i do, and if he does become a pilot which has always been my dream how will i cope with this!! if i do not become this i will feel like a failure to myself and to my father.

I really want to be a lawyer, but I don't think law school is possible when it comes to finances. Any tips on making it possible.

Do you have to go to an Ivy League law school to have good career options.

Hi. I am planning on starting a non profit helping local children. There is no organization helping out with this specific problem locally so I expect many children will be in need of this service. I would need to devote 100% of my time to this and would continue running it for years to come. My question is about earning a salary. If I start it I will be the President of the the board since I have all the ideas to start. Since board members don't make a salary, can I also be CEO? How do I go about running the org and being able to pay my bills? I don't need info on how to start a non profit, just how I can run things and earn a salary. Thanks a lot.

I worked for a company for six months, but I recently had to leave because my supervisor was sexually and racially harassing me and the owners of the business refused to do anything. Now, I'm looking for a new job. Of course, I understand the red flags that must go up in a prospective employers head if I tell them I left my previous job because I had such serious issues with my boss, but I know it will also look bad if I say I've been unemployed for the last six months. Should I just make up some lie about what I've been doing the last 6 months? Any comments or suggestions? If anybody out there is a employer, I'd greatly appreciate your opinion.
Thanks alot!

I worked for a non-profit organization for 12 years and because I quit, honorably, they now are saying their retirement plan is ONLY for those who retire at 62-65 and who they choose to offer it to. This is majorly screwing up my retirement plans and I am not sure where to turn. Should I sue? When do I bring legal action? When I am ready to retire? I'm lost.

Hells Kictchen, a bar/restauraunt just opened up here in my town. The ad actually uses the word "damn" a couple of times. Then the ad proceeds to tell applicants to turn in a resume that is homemade and creative as we wish. So would that mean I could handwrite it (neatly and well organized)? I think that if its already unconventional, that it would be fine. I feel a lot can be expressed in handwriting, and they did say homemade...
please help! :) Thank you in advance all.

I might get hired at a deli and work there overnight. The pay starts at $10.01 an hour. I'm only 18 and the most I got paid at a job was $7.50. I've figured it out that I would get $1,601.06 a month before taxes. Is that good pay for someone my age?

i have cancer and got fired from my last place of employment due to missing work for surgeries. I had given them a doctors note for every absence. It just seems like when i was looking for employment before people were calling back but this time i have only received one call for an interview. I don't like to lie but i feel this is hurting me. I also don't want a prospective employer to think im lazy and haven't worked the past year.
Is there anyway that they could find out where my last place of employment was if i dont tell them ?

I currently work in retail but am looking for a new job. A couple of years ago I chose to opt out of Sunday working, is this going to be an option wherever I work or is it up to the employer? I am looking for a full time job, but more like 35 hours a week, rather than the 42+ hours that I work now.
