Can anyone tell me a bit about this field and what it's like, how the pay is and the future of this position? Im also interested in doing Sonography, if I became a Radiology Tech. Some advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I just feel so hopeless and ashamed about my life. I am graduating with my B.A. in Chemistry in December. I wanted to graduate this summer but due to an error on a professor's part (delayed grades), I have to wait another semester. This mean I have no classes from Sept. to Dec. I don't know what to do for these 4 months! My parents are wondering what's up with me too.

My old dreams:
Medical school-no hope with a 2.6 GPA
Teaching-classes started this week and I have no diploma.
Pharmacy school (used to be my last choice)-cutoff is 3.0
Master's degree--can't find any program with less than 3.0 requirement.
Travel--Would love to, but first would like to finalize grad school or career plans before I leave the country.

What can I do in these four months that will show employers that I am a lot more competent than I appear on paper?

The last couple of jobs I have had have unrealistic guidelines!! Why are jobs allowed to be so ignorant..uncaring....bullying..heartless..The job I am at now treats people like mud..
We never know one week to next when we are working. they are consistantly hiring people.. at least half the people that get hired, quit after one month 75% by 3-6, and 98% within the first 18 months.. There is no communication at my work whatsoever...they watch every single second..we are timed exactly to the second on ten minute breaks, and we are timed exactly 30 minutes for lunch. It is ridiculous. They make employees who are sick come in, there are no sick days. the insurance sucks.. but I have to be there a year before I can look elsewhere. ...not only that, they compliment you one minute and then treat you like a joke the next minute. I really think employers nowadays are inhumane..

My fiancee lost his job after being off work for 4 weeks due to an automobile accident. I'm worried he's not going to find a job before his unemployment benefits run out. I'm scared and I really don't know how to help him anymore.

I currently work at McDonalds and today made my 5th or 6th day working. I was at the front counter today taking order's and toward the end of my shift, I'm responsible for restocking the counter so that the next shift would have enough condiments and what not. So as I was doing this, my manager was on my register taking an order. The 2 customers (a man and woman) ordered a meal that included a drink and 2 snack wraps that doesn't include a drink (which they wrongly assumed;especially the man). So I come back from the stock room and he asks me for his "2" medium cups, but his reciept only said he purchased 1 medium drink. I didn't take the order, so I assumed my manager didn't put in their second drink. I asked, "Did you order a second drink with your meal?" Then he asks, "The big question here is, why do you give a damn?" I ignored the uncalled for comment and tried to explain that the drink that was ordered was in his hand which came with the meal...

In an 8 week time period, I incorrectly transcribed a phone number 3 times. Each time it happened, my boss pointed it out and asked, "why can't you get it right?" Each time, I apologized, corrected the number, and said that I would try my best to get the numbers right. On average, he gets about 50 calls per day and I handwrite the messages on a phone log for myself and a phone long for him. On the three occasions, I incorrectly copied the number from my book to his book. I really try my best to be perfect. Today, he said "I am so tired of this!" Not sure what to do? The errors are not deliberate. Any advice?

I was recently hired as a part time employee at a local agency, and I have a bit of responsibilities that are solely mine. The pay is really not enough, and the job duties are below my competency (I have a BA); however, I accepted the offer with the knowledge that I probably will not stay for over four months.

I am currently going through testings and various interviews for full time and much better paying positions elsewhere. I know that the hiring at these places will take two+ months. Ideally I would be hired by the end of the 2007 year, but I really cannot say.

The people at the local agency are genuinely very nice, and I feel bad about the situation that I will probably have to put them in. There is only one woman training me, and she is just great. However, I have not told anybody about my situation since the full time position is still not for sure.

When should I let my employer know about my desires to leave?? Is it weird to be feeling guilty?

I recently was brought on as the manager of a small department. I have a pretty hardworking employee who had a task assigned to her today. I got the feeling that she cut some corners on this task, so I asked her how she did it. She basically said that she did it the right way. I went back and checked later in the day after she left, and it was clear that she lied to me about one particular which probably won't cause any problems, but certainly could.

So this leads me to my main question. I have only been there 1 month. I have used this month to learn the business, and have been pretty laid back with them. I didn't want to address something with someone and then find out I'm wrong. I've really only gotten stern with people on serious issues. Now that I know she lied to me about this, how should I address it? There is a very small chance that she did it on accident, but I highly doubt it.

According to the law (MA), if you left your job voluntarily with good cause (attributable to your employer) or for an urgent or compelling personal reason, you may be eligible.

Does anyone have any examples of good cause, or urgent/compelling reasons?.. Aside from the obvious harrassment and things of that nature etc. Does major anxiety qualify? :P Particularly when it's already documented that my stat's are and have been since starting 2/07 below acceptable standard. Are we eligible to be human and as hard as it is to say... say "I can't do it"? When you have burning tears on the way to your car at the days end everyday... and then again the 1st day after being gone for 2 months.. unrelated medical reasons..(legitimate way to get out of saying "I can't do it, I can't even go near the parking lot") (anxiety)... when you know for yourself... is that enough to qualify if you need to apply at least for the time lost going elsewhere? Anyone? The more the better cause I'm at a loss :(

I need to quit this job...the main reason is I severely don't like it, it's completely not right for me...the other reason is my school schedule has changed, and I possibly can get a job somewhere else (I don't care if I miss a paycheck). Anyway...I want out ASAP. But would the boss think I'm crazy? What do you think he would think? (I'm still in probation).

I work for our family business, I'm sick of having to keep track of who's here on time and who isn't.
Our employer makes us earn our sick leave:
ie: In order for us to earn 4 hours of sick pay (That's only 1/2 a day!!!) we have to have perfect attendence for one month with only one time you're allowed to be late!
I think that an employer should either give sick leave every year automatically or not at all. I do not believe it is fair to make an employee "earn" the right to be sick!
Please give me some sites that I can find information directly on this matter. I'm sure the Texas Workforce Commission would have something to say about their company practices!
