If you could go back to school, what degree would you get to ensure that you will be able to obtain a good job with decent pay. Where will all of the jobs be in the next 20 years with above average salaries?

I didnt finished high school and I am not going back there. never. so I'm looking for some job but I cant find anything or they wont accept me.

I was thinking military or a security guard but thats the problem. I am shy, I was bullyied in every school I went to. through whole my life I was seeing those therapists to help me and make me more bold, but there wasnt any progress at all. I'm naturally shy.

so then I could work in some store but I dont want to work with customers everyday cause I'm shy. I have got no idea what to say, I even shop online or I tell my mate to shop for me.

I dont wanna go back to school cause they always judge about how silent I am, even teachers. and I dont want to study cause I'm not that smart. I can learn some things but not much. everyone isnt a perfect A student. and dont look at the avatar, I'm not that pretty eitha, so being a model or something like that wouldnt be an option.

I work for 1 officer and have been her assistant the whole 6 years. Because of this horrible market, the company just laid off 6 employees - leaving 3 assistants (luckily I was kept) I was left because of my experience and knowledge and loyalty to this company.
Well, yesterday, the county manager (the one that does the layoffs - my boss' boss) approached me and told me to write down a name and number. He told me he wanted me to go interview with his best friend whom works with "Wall Street." He said he wouldn't and didn't give any other employee this info and knows with the market the way it is, that anything could happen but he wants me to continue on making good money and having a good job because of my "excellent work ethic." He said if I didn't like the job, fine. I still had one here - but he wants me to go interview and talk with him afterwards.

My question is -should I feel complimented, or is this his way of getting rid of me?? He asked me not to speak with my boss..

Long story short of it, two years ago the company I worked for had a meeting about emails. We were told that the occasional email to family and friends were fine. Well over a 2 1/2 year period I had a total of 5 out going emails but someone that I had asked about what mystery shopping was sent me about 25 emails in one day. (I did inform her to stop sending me emails). Then in May of this year it was found that I had 2 large cyst and was off work for a little over a week. I turned in all my dr statements and my fmla papers, but the day I returned to work and I worked my full shift they fired me for not following company policy requiring emails. I have only applied to companies I know I have experience in but I'm starting to think that being fired for no following company policy. Any suggesting as to how to handle interview question about why you were fired from your last job. (no actions was taken with others emailing in that department)

Singles are often given more hours, asked to travel, not given breaks during the summer, and paid less than their married counterparts. They also take advantage of fewer benefits--no need for childcare or family health.

I remember a Dilbert cartoon where one of the characters pretends to be married in order to get the benefits of a married person. Is this possible? If a person claims to be married on a job application, and says their spouse does not need benefits (such as healthcare), and puts fake pictures on their desk, what are the chances they could get away with it?

I'm currently 22 years old with a marine technology diploma and going to work in a marine company for 3 years doing structural steel work to serve a bond. I thought of going for studies at age 25 (after finishing my bond) in a local university such as NUS and NTU ( from Singapore) to obtain a degree in mechanical engineering, as I have more interest in that field. But once i graduate from the university at age 28, will my age and experience affect in me finding of mechanical engineering jobs? I have only 3 years experience in structural steel works which is more of like civil engineering work and I'm only starting out as a mechanical engineer at age 28, with really no mechanical work experience. Pls advice.

I have a job that is . . . decent. I've been there for 7 1/2 years. Recently, I decided to change to a totally different field, one that will be far more lucrative, far more fun, and far more fulfilling. However, I cannot switch for some time. Just knowing that the other job is waiting is making me REALLY dislike my previously tolerable job, at which I do a good job and people like me. I may be becoming a bit of a jerk at my current job -- I don't think so, but I feel "jerky" every so often. Should I find a "transition" job between the two, or just learn patience and suck it up? BUT I need insurance, and the transition job may not offer that (but the other two have great benefits). Any real help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Please help. I got in trouble with the law and can no longer teach. What can I do with the rest of my life. I have cried much over this but there has to be something else I am good for and my life cannot be over due to my stupidity.

I remember once I was applying for a job in a warehouse, and they hand me this 15 page math test to fill out, along with a very lengthy application.

I proceeded to rip up the math test and throw it in the air before I walked out.

I told them that I'm not in grade school, so I'm not filling out their stupid little test test.

I'm very good at math btw, so that wasn't the issue.
I just refuse to jump through the flaming hoop.

What would you have done?

I have a 1 1/2 year employment gap since my last job. I have read different suggestions for handling a gap, including putting it on the resume, in the cover letter, or just wait to explain it in an interview.

I took time off for educational reasons completely unrelated to the type of job I'm seeking. My work background is in customer service, so I'm looking for a customer service job to pay the bills. I left my last job in Oct 2005 for educational reasons--I took time off to take music lessons so I can be qualified to go to college for music after my husband gets done w/ law school. Obviously these skills have nothing to do w/ customer service so I'm reluctant to explain it in my resume. Should I put it in the cover letter or is it just so irrelevant that I should just wait to explain it in an interview (which I may not get)?

There's also the suggestion to change the resume to a functional format, but I also read that some employers don't like that format at all.

So I quit my job because my boss and I weren't on the same level. We got along but the learning process wasn't there. She constantly pointed out my mistakes in front of the group and so forth. I quit on good terms-2 week notice and with excellent references. I've been unemployed for 2.5 months now.

My answer to Why did you leave is: I left because I didn't feel that I was provided with the adequate training and support that I, as a new associate, seeked. It was hard for me to progress in my work and with the company.

What can my answer be to why did i leave without having another job?

I particularly want to apply for a job at blockbuster online, but I can't seem to find the application website. If anyone can help me apply there or anywhere else similar that is not a fast food restaurant that will be very helpful. P.S. I am only 17, so I need jobs without an 18 year old age restriction.
