Why do they make it so hard for average wage people to get a house now days? My parents both worked average paying jobs and they lived outside the city limits and they were able to get a house years ago, now my husband and i cant catch a break, we both would have to work full time jobs just to be able to pay all the bills. Why is it that way now days. why is it that now to afford a home there has to be two poeple working full time or at least one making a lot of money to be able to get a house?

In retail jobs, the workers are always lazy. They do not look presentable meaning their hair, clothes, and makeup is a mess, and they always have the nastiest attitude. How do they get the jobs? I've been applying to retail stores for a while, I have experience, and still no luck. When I go on interview, no call back. I'm 17, very beautiful, mature, well dressed, intelligent, and meticulous. People have told me that all of my life but still the managers in these stores don't consider me. I work FAST, and I follow instructions. I am nice to people and very polite. Sometimes I think that I act too professional for the managers. They seem to like bold, and reckless people. It makes me feel sad and angry when I see the type of people who actually do get the jobs but hard working people dont. Do you know why that is?

I manage a pub, im 24 and have an amazing team behind me. But recently hired this woman who now turns out to be a bit crazy. Its like she has a split personality. She also has a major problem taking direction from someone younger than her. When i ask her to do something she point blank refuses.

She has had verbal warnings and now a written one. The next step is to fire her but i've been told by several people that she can be violent so if i sack her who's to say she wont do something? She has already said to one of the staff that she LOVES this pub and one day will be the manager even if she has to "dispose" of me first... I would naturally have a witness present for the firing but what about after?

What is the best way to deal with this? Its obvious she has to leave but hows best to do it?

Please be advised that I am not attempting to pull off this scam, a friend was "taken" and wants to know if what transpired was illegal.

Basically she answered a data entry/application processor ad on Craigslist. The person contacted her back and asked her to pay a measly $7 to get started...this was the "training" fee. So my friend paid the $7 on paypal and received information on how to send out the same scam to other people...no data entry, just taking peoples money....
The problem is the ad was for a "Application Processor" which is what she would be doing (she's NOT), processing others applications for the same $7 fee...to train them to do the same thing....so the ad wasn't really lying.
So is this legal? Please give me legit advice, not just what you assume to be true or untrue. If you could provide legal information or websites that deal with this kind of scam that would be appreciated.

I know it's only $7, but she wants it back on principal!

Thanks

I am only in high school at this point but will be entering college soon. In high school I have taken many courses dealing with wildlife, animals, and biology.
The job I really want is to be a wildlife biologist or zoo keep/zoologist. But these careers don't have a high salary.

Or I could attempt vet school which is very competitive and would be a job I would only half like (I'm not into medical careers) but with a high income.

Alot of pressure from my parents. To be a vet.
Any advice? What would you choose?

I have worked in a call center for about a year now. There are three of us women (over 50), who are getting ripped off..when we started, we got $9.00 an hour..and have gotten very low raises, not even a dollar an hour more, yet..The people they are hiring now are of a different ethnic group; that are starting out at higher wages, even more then we are receiving right now. There is no reason besides the fact they are of a different decent..is there anyway we can file a discrimantion law suit..it is not fair..we have to work our butts off ten times harder..this is all causing me health problems.Since I've worked there, my blood pressure has gone up, I have depression, and my asthma has gotten worse...Please help me..or us we would like to be treated fairly!!

So I'm 14 and I'm 5'4 and i've been looking into modeling. I know that i'm WAY too short to runway model because you've got to be what...atleast 5'7? hah. And i doubt I'll grow that much, SO, I've been thinking about doing commerical modeling. How would I go about that? I live about an hour from Philadelphia near Lehigh Valley...how do I find jobs? I really don't know if it would be worth getting an agent yetbecause I don't really know a whole lot about the field and I know they're a heckof a lot of money, and I don't know if it's 'for me' yet, ya know? So how do I find jobs near me without an agent? I know I would have to get headshots and that's not a problem, what else do I need to do? Also, am I too SHORT for commerical? I know that 5'4 isn't incredibly short...but you never know. Any help would be great. Thanks!

He has education up to first class bachelors degree (civil engineering) from India.

Now, in the UK he only has experience in the labour manufacturing sector, but since last Christmas after a minor car accident, he cannot purse work in this sector.

Now, at 50+ years of age, he is finding it difficult to find a job due to lack of experience of any other sector.

He is looking to do something full time, maybe something office based. He has good organisation skills and has basically self taught himself to be very good with computing (he's achieved ECDL and is pursuing ECLD advanced for qualifications). But no-one seems to want to give him a go!!!

He doesn't have the money to start up something from scratch and has tried agencies (even 50+ specialist ones) but lack of experience and age seems to put him at a disadvantage everywhere!

Any ideas or advice out there?! (Seriously, because believe me, he is trying so hard!)

I used to work at a science centre. I had had no previous experience in working with wild animals. I was nervous to start but very passionate about doing well.
Unfortunately, one morning when I was misting some of the habitats and cleaning the water dishes, a small amount of bleach water had been left on the counter where I had placed one of the bowls. The following morning, one of the tree frogs had died. I understand that the gravity of one, tiny tree frog dying may not seem very bad to most of you, but where my job was concerned, I probably appeared to be unprofessional, maybe even "immature". The fact of the matter is that I took it upon myself to complete the morning tasks before everyone arrived and simply made a mistake. I was then transferred elsewhere to finish my credit.
I'm now looking to volunteer at an animal refuge centre where she also works. How should I approach this situation? What if she recognizes me and makes me look bad to everyone else? What if she mentions it?
