Careers

asked:


Was ashamed by Clinton’s last year in office, awakened by the 2000 election scam, horrified at Bush’s 8 year Reign of Error, severely disappointed by Obama’s 1st year of “No Change”, every year we lose more freedoms, more Rights, privacy, & the moral high-ground.
Meanwhile voters are more concerned about American Idol, gun rights, abortion, & the price tag of affordable healthcare, yet they don’t bat an eye to the trillion dollar illegal wars we are waging & creating, the embarrassing state of our schools, crumbling infrastructure, degraded environment and wallstreet raping & fleecing the hard working middle class which is expected to pay for it all!

I don’t recognize this country my parents immigrated to, the one both myself and both siblings were proud to serve.
I quit, and would like to instead take my degrees and experience to a country where I know my taxes are being used to advance society, not repress it, & where my degrees are used to solve problems not promulgate them, and where I feel free and not oppressed and watched.
I’m thinking either Canada, or S. or Central America (Chile, Brazil, Argentina), or Europe (Scandinavia, Austria, Switzerland), any suggestions?

I just got a government job. they offered to give me a moving company to move my stuff to the new city. but I requested that I find my own moving company because they are much faster and more efficent than the company the Govt hired. The Govt is going to reimburse me for the expense incured. The only problem is that i am not sure whether the moving company I hired is registered. my question is this; is it illegal to do buisness with a comapny that is not registered.? thank you

Confused Husband asked:


I lost my job about three months ago and I have been searching for a new job. My wife knows that there are no jobs in our city for my area of expertise and knows that I have even applied for a few jobs outside my industry. I have paid 100% of the household bills since we have been married and whatever she made on her part-time job has been used for spending money and/or support of her older child who does not live with us. She just moved to full-time due to my situation but what she makes is significantly less than what is needed to cover all of our monthly obligations. I just received a job offer in a city about 3hrs away and now she doesn’t want to move because she feels that she is giving up her life. She is not from the area but has built a network of friends in the past 5 years but works in a field where jobs are available in all cities. She wants me to take on a different career and take significantly less pay for her to stay in her job and in the area. I spent 18+ years to get to this point in my career and she wants me to throw it all aside so easily. I feel that she isn’t supporting me right now and it bothers me deeply. It is funny that she is willing to sell the house and downsize or move to a different house in a effort to keep what she has but wants me to give up my career, which she knew about when we were married. I find it funny that my other married co-workers wives are very supportive but mine is only thinking about self. Does anybody have any advice? I am seriously thinking about leaving her and filing for custody of the kids and moving.
We have two kids, 6 and 3 years old. If we are to make a move, this would be the best time.

As far as compromises, I looked for a job that would be close to the Seattle area, I told her that we could rent our house in Seattle, while renting in Portland and I would look for Seattle jobs in a year if Portland was not a good location for all of us. I told her I would also support a decision if she wanted to go back to school and get her Master’s instead of working.

I don’t think it is acceptable for her to ask me to give up 16+ years of work and potentially delay retirement because of her attachment to a city. I am not asking her to change careers, or take a significant step back because I am sure that she can find a job in the medical industry in Portland.

Miss Q asked:


I live in Atlanta right now. I don’t want to go out there without a job . . . too risky! Relocation isn’t a problem; I just want to have a job to do it with. Customer service, receptionist, collections, clerical . . . something in the office (a physical condition prevents me from doing a job that requires heavy lifting). The job needs to be on the busline in Sacramento or Rancho Cordova because I don’t have a car. Any help would be appreciative.

GLH asked:


I’m accepted a position in a distance city and need to relocate.

While the company offers relocation services, I have problems because my estranged spouse won’t accept a buyout by the company and since going through a breakup my credit has suffered badly and they tell me it may be diffcult to get an apartment because of it.

I have a great job where I at now. What should the company do if they really want me?
