I am currently working as an Administrative CSR at an insurance brokerage firm. My job is extremely tedious and monotonous. I am often bored to tears. What are types of jobs that involves something like training or coaching or, even event planning, as the job responsibilities? What type of requirements are applied with these positions? Thanks in advance!

I need a job badly, but my options are limited. I need a job where I keep very busy but don't have to interact with people much. Please be kind with your answers. No, I can not get over my social anxiety. My heavy-duty meds help me barely function in day to day situations. I've tried lots of jobs in the past four years, but my social fear always causes me to not be able to keep the job.

I recently decided to try and take control of my own portfolio and open an online brokerage account. I would like to take at least 20 positions, but that would mean at least 199 dollars in brokerage fees alone. Since I have only about 1000 dollars per month available to invest, how can I diversify without spending close to 20?n brokerage fees alone? I also invest in mutual funds, but I want to try and beat their performance with my own picks, but since brokerage fees seem to eat up so much of my initial investmant, I would really have to hit it big with my picks before I made any money and so far I haven't even recovered the cost of my brokerage fees. Are mutual funds the only way to avoid high brokerage fees? I know that mutual funds charge management fees, but I don't think that it's 20?f my investment. Any suggestions?

I have a 3 year+ track record trading stocks that I would like to show to employers for trading jobs. The catch is, it is a demo account. Would I be able to play it off as a real account? I have taken it very seriously. If somebody asks it was real, I would probably admit its a demo account. Would they be able to know either way if its real or not by just looking at statements that I printed off the platform?

I am 18 years old, and have applied for a supermarket job 5 times. I put in my application with no mispellings and put my correct information on the applications, all five times. I wasn't even given an interview (not even once). I applied at 3 different supermarkets. I have such little time, and little transportation becuase I don't have a car of my own yet. Those supermarkets are too blame, for not giving me a chance. If one them offered me a job, I would have a car of my own already. I save up change (coins), and when I have a large amount of change I go to the bank and change them in for dollars. I do have a savings account. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
