Careers & Employment - November 2007

It's not like I'm a complete introvert or even have social anxiety - although, in a way I suppose, I do. But I just don't like dealing with people - I hate having to put up the fake smile and pretend to be interested in what people say. I also, for some reason, hate the boss directly giving me projects (face-to-face).

Of course I'll mostly get B.S. answers here (spam, "you should get out" advice, or "no such thing"), but I'm hoping I'll get at least one newsworthy response.

I'm OK with having to deal with some people - just not in a way where I'm forced to smile or talk to many. Some have suggested librarian (because I love reading/books), others have suggested professor (even though I'd have to lecture, much of the time deals with research & many professors I have seemed to hate people anyway).

I'm guessing unless I become a webdesigner or ebayer I probably won't get paid from home. So what jobs have the least amount of contact with people as possible?

I need to know:

1. What exactly is it they do.

2. What classes I need to take for college or if I even need college.

3. How much they are paid.

4. Is this a good job? (only answer if you are a computer programmer)

5. How do they find a job? Are there companies that will hire you? Or do you just stay at home and put an add in the paper or something, and if anyone needs your help you go there or what?

Please take the time to answer these questions correctly. Please don't answer if you have nothing to say. Thank you.

I would like to apply for a job in either Disneyland or Disney studios, but I'm not a master at animation programs. I have no previous experience with management, or even representative experience. How would I apply for a position in either one of those locations?

I was thinking about something today. My life's dream job is to one day own my own campground. The only problem is, I know this would be something you can't make very much money at, so it seems kind of useless to even consider it. Should I try to consider going for this someday down the road anyhow? I grew up in Boy Scouts just about my whole life, and I always enjoyed being out at camp. There is an old Scout camp nearby me that I always go to and help out with stuff and have the time of my life, even though I'm not being paid for it. There is nothing I'd love more than to have my own campground someday, but is it a worthwhile thing to get into, or is it a bankrupcy waiting to happen?

Hi, I'm currently a waitress, been one for about a month. I've worked various other jobs and really miss them partly because the people I did work with pulled their weight did their work. I have enough college hours to substitute teach, however I do not like kids that well. On the flip side, my waitressing job, ironically the smell of food cooking in large quantities(a restauant or fast food), makes me gag. I really was in a bind and needed the money. Right now I'm still going to college and fixing to go online for my Bachelors so I can have a full time job. So if you were me, would you stick with the waitressing(btw pay = 6.50 an hour, I work 15 hours, and we split our tips, we average about $17 a night). Substitute around here($55-75 a day).

My buddy is involved in a lawsuit against the people he use to work with. Everything is finally moving along after he was doing all of the work and investigations and whatever else. The paralegal assigned to his case is an a** but was pulled off the case during the summer so she could study for the bar. The person they gave the case to was freakin' great but was there only for the summer. The other person has been put back on the case-- and I swear-- I am not a lawyer but this chick is a real lazy idiot who f***ed up the case by not doing her job why it's dragged on so long. Could he ask the attorney he don't want her with the reasons? And if he says she is the only one what happens then?

I have an *** as a boss, who is used to having a PA. He doesn`t have one in this role and he`s trying to force on me things that aren`t on my job description. I talked and talked several time about this and he implied i wasn`t flexible and that my job description doesn`t mean anything. If i want, he can change it so that it `reflects` the reality better. But i haven`t agreed to this job as Project Coordinator so that i can do his invoices, send personal gifts on his behalf, clean offices of fired personnel, etc.
I said that i wanted more money, but he just laughed. I talked to the HR, but nothing happened. I`ve been in this firm for only 6months, i am not sure if quitting would be good bef. 1year, but my `job` is really putting me down.
Any advice?

I am a over 40 male from a minority group. I was the only male in a department of less than 20 women (There was a strong anti male "Men are idiots" bias in general). I was placed in a position where I felt pressured to resign due to changes towards me and my work at an organization in the South. When I first got hired, I was told initially that I was a full time salaried employee (I signed an agreement to this effect). 11 months after this, I was told I was an hourly employee and that my conversion to be a salaried employee did not occur. I expressed my disappointment in this and said that I will clock in (as requested) for a month until they get the paperwork straightened out. Before the month is over, I'm hauled into my bosses office, told that I violated some Internet usage policy and that I will be terminated. Then, at this meeting, I was told that I would be terminated or I could resign. I then, with less than 15 minutes to think about this resigned.

Do I have a case?

I just started at Old Navy and I was wondering about the employee discount...do you get your discount off the sale prices, or do you have to choose? I used to work at a store where you either had to take the sale price and no discount, or take the discount off the full price.

I have a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and have passed the FE/EIT exam but, unfortunately, am in a region void of any industry or opportunity to use my degree to gain valuable work experience. With no real job prospects in sight, I was contemplating starting my own business to use the skills and experiences I have in a contract/consulting type service. Is a professional engineering license required to provide mechanical design and analysis services (part design, tool and fixture design, engineering and patent drawings, FEA, etc.)?

Or, is it best to keep doing what you are doing until you simply can't do it anymore?

I have a number of things that I would love to do, but my overdeveloped sense of responsibility says that it would be foolish and financially disastrous.

Any thoughts on what I should do, who I should talk to, agencies, "life coach", ways to evaluate whether one path would be better than another? Have you done anything like this and succeed? Advice?
