I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I'm looking online now, I don't even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?

I am a 22 year old female with a low paying job. I make approximately $20,000/yr. before taxes. I have been reading Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad and am interested in investing. However due to my income, I don't want to jump the gun and invest in something that is too risky or invest too much money (not that I have much to invest anyways). Are there any suggestions or helpful tips anyone can give me? I am really unfamiliar in this territory.

I am new to the recruiting game and I would welcome advice on recruiting and building a good pipeline in general. The company that I work for has several seasonal contracts and these are some of our biggest clients. I have done tons of postings on the general career sites and craigslist and tons of cold calling from all retail jobs and career builder! These positions are nationwide and I am having a hard time finding qualified people that are interested in something seasonal. Where else can I find people with retail experience who may want to do something for the holiday season?

The retirement specialist said the only consequence for 457 Plan partial withdrawal is the usual income tax. There is no penalty. If this is the case, is it advisable to leave my 457 funds with my former employer so I can avail of this benefit if necessary (hopefully, I will never dip into my 457 but just in case I need to, I want this option of non-penalty for withdrawal). My 457 plan came from a local government unit where I was formerly employed.

I know that CFP is certified financial planner, and CFA is certified financial analyst, but these two licenses seem so similar to me, that I can't decide which one to pursue. What are the pros and cons to each of these? What are the requirements for attaining each of them? Also, for those of you who know the nature of the work of financial analysts and financial planners, could you please describe what their daily work responsibilities are? Is a job as an analyst simpler because you're just analyzing, instead of planning? If you know any additional factors to both these jobs, please let me know.

Think about it. Africa is poorer than china and the jobs really could help africans provide for their familes. There is far too much stuff with made in china labels or stickers on them. Africa is closer than china to the UK and europe. The jobs could help africans get vacinations for illness and protect their children. So why go to china all the time. The only things that i have seen that are made in an african country are some t shirts made in maurtisus God in failing. The reason factories move to china is because it is cheaper than the west and chinese people work for far less

A freind of mine has an investment property in Atlanta Georgia that he is trying to sell. It is a 4 year old Duplex with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths in each unit. It needs no repairs, it was built in 2002, it has wood floors throughout and it is close to public transportation, colleges and downtown. He is asking 335K for it and it was appriased 9 months ago for 350K. He has an open listing with a realtor for a few months but hasn't had any luck getting any buyers. The realtor said it isn't selling due to the tight market and the time of year he is trying to sell. Can you suggest any ways to get more interested buyers?
