I want to be a doctor, but I also want to be a businessman. I realize that this is typical for someone thinking about what to do, but I feel locked in that I want to be both of them.

Would it be realistic to become a doctor while managing businesses? (restaurants, clubs, etc.)

Or, should I become soley a doctor or business man. Which one would you prefer?

the interview went well, i had 1 interview with the manager, and she told me to come back for a 2nd interview with the GM, the GM told me she wanted a 2nd interview because I wouldn't really open up.. both interview's went fairly well... the reason i didnt open up is because they didn't ask me questions... the GM mainly just told me about how things work and the main focus is pleasing the customer's... he asked me when I could start.. what pay I wanted... what hour's i wanted to work.. if I was going too school.. everything seemed to be good, he told me to call him in 2days if he didnt hear from me because i was one of 3 people they were interviewing, and they are hiring 2, he said he couldnt find a fault in me, so i asked do i need to quit looking for a job, he said no.. keep looking you may find something better... but he also pointed out that wasnt his way of shutting me down, he was looking for my bes interest.. what do you think? is the job mine... its for a front-desk job

I have a sales job where I work on commission only and it requires me to travel daily. I have been paying for my own gas for 6 months now and I guess I kind of understand that. Now my boss wants me to start driving my own vehicle or buy one off of him. I feel like I am having to pay to work for him. I think that I can get money back for milage on my taxes, right? Am I missing anything here? Do I have a valid point? Thanks!

Is it okay in a job interview to say the only reason why you took your current job was because you viewed it as a stepping stone to gain experience to help you move up in your career?

I want to apply to B & N for a job. I don't know if they're hiring since it's the middle of the summer, but I'm going to go see tomorrow. I'm 17, and I've never had a job, so I'm kind of unsure as to how it works. Once I pick up an application and fill it out, then what? Do I just fill it out there and hand it right back to them? Do I need to give them a resume and what needs to be on it, will they schedule an interview, what should I wear, what will they ask, if I get a job do I get to discuss hours with them, etc, etc. Thanks!

Is it basic and general or very specific and something I should be dedicating a good chunk of time to review? Do you know of any sites listing the most common questions for these tests?

I'm currently employeed at a locally owned insurance agency where I have been working for 8 months now. Lately, my boss (who also owns the business) has been coming on to me. Yesterday, he asked if I would sleep with him, I politely told him that I was not interested. He then threatened if I didn't, I could kiss my job goodbye. I really don't know what to do. I need this job. I have a mortgage and a car payment to think about. I cannot afford to be fired. I can't complain to anyone else because he owns the place of busniess. I'm in a hard situtation. What should I do?

Two months ago, I transferred from one store in a chain to another because my last one I wasn't been given any responsibilities. And a supervisor was harassing me.

I didn't know at my new store that the store manager was such a b*tch. She abuses staff whilst they serve on registers if they do something wrong. She abuses the other manager. She always seems to add a snipe to everything, like "You need to do this because you need practice" etc.

I have only been there a month and a bit. From what I know, she is universally disliked. She is pleasant when her boss is around (my former manager) so he doesn't see it. But, three people will/have left in 3 months, I suspect the other manager is leaving. The store is on a "weekly target". This is NOT commonplace. Sounds like it may go under...

Another store has a position. I came to this store because of the other manager, as well as the "promotion" that she always has excuses to not give to me. I am really unhappy. Should I try to leave?

I am 25 nearly 26 and am looking at changing jobs. I'm fed up working in an office and want a more exciting life. My friend has offered me a job as a fitters mate in a london based firm. I don't know whether i should do it or not. By the way I have an irrational fear of heights.

It's been over seven years since her last job interview. What would be the appropriate level of attire for this occasion? She has a couple of business suits to wear, some dresses, or should she just wear nice slacks and a nice blouse? The person interviewing her will be a woman.

Thanks

what i don't understand is....if teachers are the "professionals" teaching doctors, and lawyers and other high paying jobs....how come they get paid so much less??? I mean....wouldn't it make sense for the person training future doctors and lawyers to be paid just as much, if not more? after all, teachers are the ones "creating" these people....

i guess this is directed more towards college professors


my second question is
why do k-12 teachers get paid so little?


well, i live in florida and from what i see, the less money the teachers make, the dumber they make the kids...lol

It doesn't matter what you do,what part of the US you are in or how much education you have.Its like
you can get let go at anytime,We do not need you
anymore or If you are over 40 should you worry
about your job? There is no loyalty for the workerbees. Is it all about money? If you are
laid off and over 40 will it be difficult to find a
new job?

I hate my job!! I dread going to work every day, mostly because of how much time I spend driving to and from. It eats up so much of my day and gets me so stressed out (I hate driving more than anyone I know) that I am exhausted and irritable wneh I get home which is affecting my family and I dont like that either. Unfortunately without a college degree most employers wont even look at your resume. I cant afford to find a job that I like because they either require a degree or they dont pay what I am making now and I cant take a pay cut. I cant continue like this as I feel that I will go crazy. What are my options?

I'm about to graduate with an English BA, and am planning for my MA. I would love to get into Editing, but also have an interest in areas like psychology and sociology. Working full time and school f/t (for family, no less) has made it hard to do any type of internships that might help with a career in editing, so I'm not sure if it is practical to pursue that type of career with no experience to back up my degree. Since I already know my interests and strengths, I'm looking for help on deciding where to apply them, career wise.

Is it possible to study theory before taking the leap of quiting a comfortably paying job? I want to break into this field but the apprentice programs are limiting. They also don't pay quite enough to support the family. What other alternatives might I have? Is there any part-time vocational schools to study the vocation and possibly get an 'apprentice' job that pays ok? Even with a private company? Any advice?

I have been applying everywhere and I haven't gotten a call back. Is it better to apply in person at the place or is applying online just the same? I have only applied online everywhere. I am only looking for these types of jobs: Front desk receptionist for a hotel, hostess at a restaurant, or a secretary job at an office. I have no prior experience which makes it hard for me when the employers want someone with experience. But how do I even start out and get experience for later if no one will hire me in these types of jobs? My only previous jobs are working at a movie theater as a concessionist, and now I'm assistant Pre-K teacher at a school. But I need a weekday nights and weekend job.
So really, my questions are: What are the best ways to apply for a job (talk to the hiring manager myself?), how can I get the required experience for these jobs if no one will hire me for the 1st time? And if there are any other suggestions for jobs for me that would be easy to find?
