A friend of mine has withdrew from a couple classes twice in the past two semesters, he will be repeating the classes for the third time this coming fall. The classes were College Trigonometry and Chemistry 101. He needs both of these for his major, electrical engineering. However, he feels like he'll never become an electrical engineer and that he should just drop out of college because he didn't do the way he wanted his first couple semesters of college. Should he drop out of college, or can he still become an electrical engineer? He's in a community college and hopes to transfer to a major university, his GPA is 3.85. Please help!

interview the 1st week due to people out of the office. I emailed early last week to see what the status was & I got a sort of abrupt resonse that she, recruiter, didn't know because she was very busy? Since then I have heard nothing. Should I assume that it's no longer an option or should I confirm that with her?

Today for some reason I can't seem to get in the work mode. Some days I do 10-12 hours of work. Other days, like today I say screw it and hop on the internet to Y!A and other sites including new job sites. How many hours a day do you do actual work and why? Do you have work to do you just dont feel like doing, or do you not have any work and are just bored?

Best answer gets 10 puntos!

I'm a 20 year old, currently living in Italy. I work for a little company in the Lumber Industry and do the Purchasing in America. I've been working with them for a year and a half now. The problem however is that the pay is really bad, and i've been looking all over for a new job, but it is REALLY hard here to find any good paying jobs!! What i would LOVE to do is move back to the states and find something there. What I'm not sure about is what field to go into, or what types of jobs i could get without having a college degree. Can anyone help me out with some ideas?!

A colleague has worked at a company for just 6 months and now works flexi-time when they choose, is allowed time off in lieu and is allowed to work from home when they choose. Nobody else in the company is allowed these privileges.

Their reason given is this person "works long hours, has to travel a long distance and doesn't get paid over-time", yet all staff members work long hours when required, one other staff member travels in from the same town, and no over-time is paid to anyone. So the reasons are irrelevant.

What is my standing on this legally? Are employers obliged to offer this to all members of staff?

been looking for almost 6 months now.

i even applied at walmart and at the newspaper packing papers, but have not gotten anything.

how do i get one? i never in my wildest dreams thought it would be this hard to get a job after i got out of the military.

i got a job before but had to quit because of cancer, now after treatment they won't hire me again, another job i applied for i am not medically cleared to do because of blood tests i have to take.

radioshack told me i was over qualified for a sales position there and wouldn't hire me.

what to do?

i looked and scanned all the companies and job websites, i have sent probably over 100 resumes out. i feel i am stuck with no way out no matter how hard i try.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has been able to claim unemployment when they quit their job. I have a list of reasons why I am quitting, but the main one is the reduction in pay. I have made almost $10,000 less in the last year than the previous year and I can't afford to work their any longer. I was told before that there are certain circumstances where you are eligible to receive benefits, but nobody has been able to provide me with a concrete answer about this reason.

Thanks

I got a degree in Business Admin. with a concentration in Accounting, started working and realized I don't care for the job. So I am reevaluating things and thinking of changing careers. For the most part I hear people do completely different jobs from what their majors were in college anyways. I am curious to know if you guys like or hate your jobs and the reasons why?

My temp agency sent me to what I've realized is a dream-job.
The employer just loves me and have offered me a position full-time. So far so good, right?
Well, alas the agency is asking for close to $10,000.00 from the employer, if they want to "steal" me.
The employer is a small business and they simply don't have that in their budget. :-(

It's really sad for me because there aren't other businesses like this in my city and I just love this type of work. It would be perfect for me, I love the team, etc. But they just can't find it in their budget to slap down $10,000.00 - they're trying to find a legit way to keep me as I write this, and hopefully we can find a solution that's legit and not in violation of anything.

What if the employer were to "terminate" my assignment. Is there a certain waiting period before I'd be able to come back and work for the employer full-time, independent of the agency?

I formally accepte the positon. I don't yet have a start date. I want to assume they ran a background check already, before the 2nd interview perhaps, but I am not certian. I have poor credit, due to some fradulent issues. All my student loan debt is in good standing and all my current credit cards are in good standing. I also have added personal comments to all 3 reports saying that some information is incorrent and is being investigate. Can they take back their offer? Or am I just freaking out?

I need a business suit for upcoming job interviews. I went to Macy's and JC Penny this weekend. They had plenty of them but I found out that the jacket is one size for me and the pants are a different size. Is there any place where I can buy them separately?

I'm applying for a job that requires you to fill out an application at the job but they also want resumes with the application. I've been taught to put both in an envelope but that's when you are mailing or giving them to that person. So now I'm lost and don't know whether to pre-stable or what. Please help. Thank you!!!
