Hi! I am studying French Spanish and Italian at the moment and wondered what, after my degree, are the highest paid jobs that might be open to me. All I can find on the internet are jobs of 20k as a teacher or something and I want to know what is out there that is really good money and a really cool job.

I also study a fashion make-up diploma, but that is just for fun really!

Thanks :o)

They post all of these make money at home things on Career Builder all the time. The one I'm interested in is the one about Google. Does anyone out there really make money this way and any ideas on how it really works? Usually these things are just a way for the company who advertises the job to make money. That's the real way to take--I mean make money on line! Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I will be graduating this coming spring with a bachelor's degree in accounting. I was convicted with a felony assault charge in 2002. I was wondering if I will be able to find an accounting job when I can't pass a background check. Would changing my name make a difference? I've heard its illegal to run background checks with a social security number.

This topic was on GMA this morning while I was getting dressed. I think I did a little cheer when I found out that one company started a no-tolerance gossip ban, and has fired 3 people so far. My boss couldn't initiate this policy because everyone would be fired.

Office gossip spreads like wildfire and ruins reputations, self-esteem and is extremely damaging to peoples lives.

What's your take on it? I'm all for a no-tolerance office gossip ban.

I have a perscription for medical pot. If I take a pre employment drug test that shows positive for pot, but I have a valid perscription for it, can the employers still refuse to employ me?

Hi Rachelle,



Thank you for taking the time to send a follow-up email, it shows again your level of professionalism.



I am not sure on timeframes for selection, but I need to make a move soon, so you will hopefully not have to wait too long for a response.



Thanks again for your thoughts.

Im a 27 y/o who cant find a job. I didnt graduate highschool or college but do have my G.E.D. Over the last year I've had plenty of interviews and they all seemed to go well. Unfortunately thats as far as they got. I realize that having facial tattoos and piercings isnt helping me any but theres nothing i can do about that. I worked as a body piercer when i was younger and it was par for course at the shop. Also my job history is ecclectic and most of them I left after a short time. plus theres the background check w/ drug charges. And to make matters worse my last job paid $10.50 an hour so all low paying jobs think im "over qualified". Im living with my bf right now but his funds are quickly drying up. I need to figure out how to make myself hireable again. Is it even possible? Have I ruined my chances at employment?

Lets say I give my 3 weeks notice on Dec. 7th that I'd like to stop working Jan 1st (yet I get Dec 24th through Jan 1st off, paid). Should I do this or just leave as of Dec 24th and have my new employer pay for my week vacation?

I'm 50/50 on this one.. I find it weird to have my last week on the job as being a vacation. I also find it weird to have my first week on the job as being vacation.

Got my GMAT scores back, hit a 730. I'm an old man at 32. Sick and tired of being poor (highest salary ever made is 35k). My score indicates I have (within reason) my choice of schools. Poverty has jaded me to the point where I care about nothing except wealth (I know, it disgusts me too). But so it is. What schools/majors will get me six figures upon graduation, and a million a year within a decade. Just feeling it out, and "Yahoo answers" has always provided me with excellent answers to other questions, so what the heck. Please don't respond unless you really know what you're talking about. And sorry about being a materialistic a**hole. I wasn't always. Thanks!!

During my time there I witnessed a lot of unethical behavior some of it illegal. Our division manager wants us to report anything that doesn't seam right to him. The reason I didn't do it before is because he intimidated me into keeping quit. I really want to report him so someone else doesn't have to go through what I went throu. I have a lot of proof and some witnesses Has anyone done anything like that before? Can I get in any legal trouble over it?

Growing up my mom always told me never to work past your stated hours (i.e. 9-5) because that's a way that the company takes advantage of you. However, I would like to develop a better work ethic.

I want to learn how to motivate myself to work harder and longer without feeling cheated because the company pays me the same amount (and I should mention that I'm in a field without a lot of salary variance...I don't expect working harder or longer to lead to monetary rewards). Also, I just feel so tired after a long day that it's hard to be disciplined to put in extra hours. How do you motivate yourself when no one is forcing you to do it?

You can dress up, go to job fairs and do resume drops, pop in unannounced, write to the CEO, etc. But when it comes down to it, don't all those sources ultimately direct you to the website and the job postings therein, thus pitting you against hundreds of applicants?

Is the networking information contained in "What Color is Your Parachute?" obsolete?
