i pay 32% in deductibles... like 20% of that in income tax (the rest is my retirement funds, EI, etc..). high, yes... but we have health care, so i can't complain... i've had to use that system quite a few times now from some **** that would cost me a fortune if i had to pay.
plus i get back ~$5k at tax time, every year, too.


edit: I should also note that the $5k goes directly into my car, every year... so i suppose i don't actually SEE that money.

what a stock broker?? the position I am "requires" a BA and yes you need to get your license...I think each state is different and what not do a search depending on state and company....

I did not have a company sponsor me...but you can if you want it bad enough work with a broker and they will help you a lot and set up tests for you. Once you take your tests you just apply for a job and build a track record(this is probably the most important part).

Working as a clerical assistant for Red Ken Livingstone. I earn £12.5k per annum to help extract money from hard working Londoners as they drive through the "congestion charging zone". Am I popular? The hate mail that accompanies the Penalty charge payments we recieve says answers that question straight up.

Oh well, I won't be there forever.
