Forum: Education/Career/Finance

So I received the notice of layoff this morning (again). Is there anyone who has been laid off multiple times in their 20s, and how they handled it when looking for a new job/explaining to prospective employers why you were released twice?

So guys I know there's quite a few of us in sales, account management, etc. So now we can finally have it. ITT, we can discuss some sales strategies and tips, as well as companies or types of stuff to avoid ITT, we can post some great motivation stuff and overall help each other build up that...

Buying a house is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make in your lifetime, so let's talk about what and what not to do. Looking for input! The wife and I bring home a combined $85k a year and we're looking at houses in the $180-200k range. In Alabama that gets us a brand new 1500...

So I have a philosophy test tomorrow and the professor gave out a study guide. I honestly haven't gone to the class much so I don't really know how to complete the study guide. Here are the questions that need answered. If anyone can answer these questions with real answers I will love you forever...

I've seen a lot of people tell you not to major in supply chain management as an undergrad, but I don't see why. What are your thoughts?

Alright, So current situation isn't great due to some poor decision making the last few years. Do not have my license at the moment. The logistics of getting to and from a job that pays $10/hr or less wouldn't be worth it since I'd likely have to be UBERing. I just started school again and I...

Hello Misc. Wanted to see how many brahs know how to code/program. I just started learning within the last 30 days html/css and moving into jquery right now, following java.

Okay misc. I'm going to finish my econ/finance degree in a year and a half. I always thought that I wanted to go into equity/fixed income research or trading. But I'm having serious second thoughts. I work part time in the finance industry and I just don't like the culture, people or tasks. I also...

I have been thinking of making a career out of it. I was just wondering if anyone here also does the same? How much money do you make on an average basis. Any tips etc.?

- I coded the website myself, HTML/CSS/JS etc, using bootstrap. All in one folder atm. - I have uploaded said website on github with a funcional working demo link - I have bought hosting on hostgator - I just need that github link to be uploaded on my hostgator domain name account [so upload...

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see this sub-section. It's a shame that the few useful threads in the real misc section get buried in all the crap that we've all come to know and love over time. Can't wait to contribute where I can. Mods, thank you!!!! (No e-brownnoser)

Maybe we can post practice problems and concepts we don't understand and motivate eachother to get those 300 hours. I'm going for like 600 cause I'm a potato. Practice problems shouldn't be posted from any cfai mock exam or cfai subject practice tests under the candidate resources and specific...

It's a situation that some of us know well, or some of us know too well. Basically, I'm in a position in which getting a really good grade is looking slimmer and slimmer - albeit; my own fault for not preparing/studying enough. I've been really contemplating whether or not to withdraw from the...

Just finished first month on my own, and based on living expenses and income, I could save around 10k this year. Should i let the first 10k sit in the bank for emerg etc. or immediate invest in something as it comes in? Would possibly wanting to buy a house in the next 5-7 years require more...

Experts and professionals please post here. I want to start by saying this one thing and you can expound or deny it. Everyone, and I mean everyone needs at least as much life insurance as it would take to cover funeral expenses. My dad passed away and we had no money. I've buried a lot of...

Hey everyone! So excited about this new subforum! A little bit about myself, I'm based in Mumbai, India (if any of you are from Mumbai, or visit Mumbai, hit me up!) I am 20 years old, and have been extremely excited to be a part of the fitness industry. I have 2 certifications as a trainer...

This thread is for those of us who focus on the companies that pay us more every year just to own their stock. And those of us who reinvest those dividends to buy even more shares of the company so our long-term income turbocharges. I've been a believer in this method of investing for awhile. I...

3rd year currently taking ochem

Any other suckers here fall for the grad school trap? Do you spend more time grading and working on your lit review than you do sleeping each night? Do students make you question the future of education? Are you counting down the days until you get to leave, while at the same time wishing you...

The medical field or the engineering field, while both are competitive, they can also be very rewarding provided you put in the work. For job prospects and security would the medical field (pharmacy, dentistry, general medical doctor) be more in demand than lets say, chemical or civil engineering...
