I am a college student who ALWAYS sleeps in.

Here is the deal:
On Mondays and Wednesdays I don't have class until 12
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have class at 9am.
In addition, I am a waitress working until 12am on some weekdays and until 2am on weekends.

Should I wake up at the same time everyday and try to get into some routine? What time should I plan on?

Do you have any advice that can help me?

My husband and I signed a purchase and sale agreement with a realtor to buy a house....We were suppose to close 8/24/07 and there is a 7 day extension period, this was based on financing......our lender rarely talks to us and when she does she tells us we can't afford this home, or puts us down or gets just plain rude.....We have told the lender and real estate agent that we can not afford this home due to the amount of payments that has been quoted to us, but yet they are still trying to get us approved.......the agent tells us we have to wait until 8/31/07 before we can say okay we aren't getting it, but is there anyway to get out of this NOW as we know we CAN NOT afford this home?????
PLEASE WE NEED ANSWERS NOW.

I am 33 and with no work history. No one wants to give me a chance, even after i offered to be trained with no pay for as long as they see fit. Someone suggested me to volunteer to gain experience i am lacking. I was wondering if i volunteer at the local hospital, would i have any chance of getting some kind of a job later on, at the same place? Any thoughts on this?

My wife loves kids and wants to make some extra money by babysitting 1 or 2 kids 5 days a week at our home. Does she need some sort of license to do that? Can she put an add in the paper for that if she's not licensed? Are there any laws about that? We live in Utah.

My wife has been working about 10 hours a week (mostly from home) for an accounting office. She has a few years of accounting experience, but not many other marketable skills. Her position is being done away with and she needs to find another job.

She wants a job that she can work about 10 hours a week preferably from home or possibly away from home just on weekends. If she worked more than that we would have to pay for childcare and it wouldn't be worth it.

Can you suggest any job or type of job that might be good to consider?

Not as an MD, but a technologist. How are the benefits, salary, working conditions etc...? Also, there are many different machines to work in that field...ultrasound, mri, ct, are you trained on all of them in school, or are you supposed to major in one area?

I have searched all my medical books, checked with the medical sites on line, and even googled it. Nothing comes up. The other transcriptionists on the account I work on have never heard of it either.

I'm just not ready to finish school as is expected from me, and then get some career that I may or may not have the rest of my life. I am in school and I work in the mortgage industry I like it, and want to have a career in it, but for some reason not right after I graduate. Is it odd that I want to finish school only to serve 4 years in the air force, or to join the air force and then finish school. I want to serve my country( i know there are more ways to do that then joining the military) I also want be in a new environment, I have lived in pretty much the same city around the same people. and I want a job that may or may not end up being my career but it will be a different experience I would not have had otherwise. I know there is a war going on so joining would make Iraq a possibility which doesn't scare me I just know that would be hard on my family. so any advice or alternatives, besides joining the peace corp first. I have thought about it already

Ok so I need to know if this is worth it.
I want to do medical transcription from home. The place I found in my town, Techskills, is offering to certify me in 6months for just under 7 thousand dollars.

Do I need a certification? A lot of jobs that i find in my area for it require like 2 years of experience.

techskills says that when I am done with the program they will give me a big list of transcrition agencys in my area to help put me in a job.

Is it worth it?

My husband and I run a charity event once a year, over the course of a 3 day weekend. This year we would like to accept credit card payments at the door. After looking into the merchant accounts available, we cannot justify paying all the fees for only 3 days of use out of the year. Does any one know of a simple way for a charity group to accept credit cards short term?

It took this company 3 weeks to call me back after my 2nd interview. I was told when they called for my 3rd that the interview would be "next week" which was a week ago. She asked me what my availability was for the following week: 8/20/07 but then never called back to schedule it. Should I call the assistant and check on the status of when my 3rd is scheduled or should I just wait?

A former colleague of mine recently had an attorney review her company's employee handbook, and the attorney suggested she remove references to "Corrective Action" and replace them with the term "Disciplinary Action." I've always heard that the use of "discipline" is not only archaic, it puts the manager in the position of being parental/authoritarian, rather than in the position of progressive employer - but I'm no attorney.

Can anyone recommend a white paper that discusses the pros and cons of the use of either terminology?

Thanks in advance.

I've been at my current job for only 4 months now and I am about to get engaged, which means I may be moving with my fiance (for his work) but I'm worried that it will look bad in the future, although I think engagement is a pretty good reason to quit a job. What do you guys think?

Bear with me here ...
I recieved an e-mail about a mandatory meeting. There was a section with the names of people required to go. To see the entire list, I needed to scroll down. I didn't notice that detail, so I didn't see my name.

That being said, the meeting hasn't passed, but my supervisor asked me to work an extra day. I said I would under the condition that I would not attend the meeting.

I thought it was not mandatory for me anyway. My supervisor didn't know either because he said that it was fine.

Well I think he mentioned something to our head manager because he called me and told me to attend the meeting instead of working an extra day. That's all he said though.

Now I'm worried that my head manager thinks poorly of me. I don't even see her because I work until 9am. That's when she gets in so I mostly answer to my supervisor.

These are the things that make recent college graduates realize the seriousness of carelessness in the professional world.
