I have worked "at will" for a company for six months and think i should quit prior to being fired so that finding another position will be easier? Am i correct, and could you give me extra input please?

And to some people, please do not call me a s*lut or anything. I just need a decent job.

Ok I wanna go get a career in computers as either a technical support specialist or a computer systems administrator. I was thinking about going to a four year college, but going to a technical school caught my mind (*mainly since i won't have to deal w. the english, math, ect. for college).

My questions are as following:

* What do companies prefer more, an employee that went to a four year college or one that went to a technical school?
* Which job is better if I wanna be able to do clean out computers of viruses and other malware, install software, and put in/replace hardware, ect? From what I looked up it looked like a technical support specialist and computer systems administrator each covered at least a fair deal of these....but please correct me if i'm wrong.

The more detail in the answer the better pplz. Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I have just signed up for my CNA's course and am hoping to start working next spring some time. After spending time with family (grandparents and such) in retirement homes, assisted living, and nursing homes, I really have no desire to work in them...however after spending weeks with an ill mother in a hospital, I would like to work in a hospital setting...
Some people have "eluded" to the fact that it's hard to get a hospital job right out of certification...is this the case? Or can I go right to hospitals and apply? Or do I need the nursing home or assisted living experience first?
Please, don't answer if you don't know.
Any CNA's opinions would be great!
Thanks!

It states that I "May be required to work additional hours when required and my salary includes an element for this" therefore it seems they will have a ticket to unlimited overtime from me with no pay. Should I sign or anyone know a tactful way around this?

I want to sell cars for a living but the only place that called me for the job is a GMC/Pontiac/Buick place. I don't like those vehicles and don't know if I could work selling them if I don't like them. Know what I mean? I'd rather sell the types of cars I like. Should I go work there, learn, get experience, then go work for dealer of cars I like? Feel free to elaborate.

He came to my office unanounced with some other staff person and looked around. I saw them and looked up. I said are you checkiing out this p-hole we call an office? My tone was light and joking. He responds by saying at least you have a job. then he goes c'mon I have consultants here. But by his initial answer I was taken aback. He asked me a question about the office and then left. I may have been somewhat out of place but if he is threatening my job I feel that is harsh. Should I take that comment as a threat to my job? Is it legal for employers to say things like that to employees?

In 2003 I was ill and had major surgery. I was out on medical leave for approximately 8 weeks after being ill for over a year and a half and being hospitalized. When it came time to review my performance, my boss said my work performance was sub-par and denied my raise. Is this legal? Also, is there a statute of limitations - I would really like to file a claim against my employer for lost wages. And yes, after all this time it still bugs me!

I've tried searching online, but didn't come up with anything substantial. I did pre-med as an undergrad, including a few interships where I got to ride around on the ambulances. How does a person become an EMT? What kind of degree does it require? Besides pay, is there a difference between volunteer EMT and career EMT? Is there such thing as a part-time paid EMT?
