Do you have a degree from college/university?

If yes which one and if not why and do you regret it not having one?

I’ve been in FA almost a yr & it’s a bit much I’m kind of miserable. I get good feedback (for the most part) from mgmt but I just don’t feel as acclimated as I should. I was offered a position working as a specialist for the Proof of Graduation team. I’d request proof of HS completion from students, same pay but approaching my annual raise soon anyway. My boss was a Mgr for the department before & said my counterparts are nice but there was too much drama from a management perspective. She said the job itself can be monotonous but better hours (no weekends) & wouldn’t be as busy likely. I’m looking for employment elsewhere too, I haven’t received the offer letter yet the position wouldn’t begin until March.

I've always wanted to learn Russian because I think it's a beautiful language and also widely spread and me being from Czech Republic could make it slightly easier and not so foreign (Czech language is also one of the Slav languages).

I know I may worry for nothing but current events, such as the conflict of Ukraine VS Russia, make me uncertain a little about me going for this... even my parents call me silly for wanting to learn Russian in this age.

Do you think it's a bad idea?
Do I have a chance of learning at least basics and cyrillic alphabet on my own?

I've tried to learn Russian years back when I was still at school but I gave it up in the end. I still own a textbook and workbook, I think I do at least lol

I don’t feel comfortable sharing this with many people so I just want insight, no sarcastic answers.

I’ve worked in financial aid for almost a yr, prior to this I worked in academic advising at another school for 2 years. This job is remote & will stay remote, the last position wasn’t & I hated it bc of management, didn’t get along with some staff & was unhappy. This role is remote but so far I get along with my team & like my boss, I have times where I feel overwhelmed & as if I’m not good at my job bc FA can be a bit much. My boss gives good feedback but I compare myself to others & second guess my work ethic.

I’ve interviewed for 3 roles so far, after my 2nd interview I was offered role as a Proof of graduation specialist. My boss was a Mgr for this dept before & said the job itself can be monotonous, the team was nice she just didn’t like managing it bc of the drama it came with. I was offered a position, same pay, wouldn’t start till March & the offer letter won’t be sent until next wk anyway so I have time to think about it.

I just interviewed for another job in the same company but academic services, the pay is a lot higher & I think I’ll be hearing back next wk. I like my current job but it’s call center like, can be busy & I want to get more experience in higher education. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel like a good fit but I’m worried it’ll come across as job hopping, I won’t be good at it & I won’t have the same type of mgmt/team dynamic I have now. If I get the academic services job that triumphs all no expectations though, I’m asking more about if I don’t get it & I have to choose between the offer I just got & my current role. I feel like I’m underpaid too with my current rate, which won’t change if I have to accept the offer I just got.

I prefer working mainly with women, but I feel as though most people prefer working with men.

I just got offered a new job
My dream job in finance!
I start in 2 weeks

But they sent me an offer letter and agreement contract

They were eager for me to sign the contract

Is it weird they want me to sign it first before they do?
So i signed it and sent it back to them

In my 2 interviews - They did keep asking me if I was interviewing with other finance companies and I said yes but was mostly interested in this role lol

What would you do for money?

I am starting a T Shirt business, I am wanting to create custom western apparel & other items. However, I cannot choose a name for my business. Please help me by voting below! Also, any other name suggestions would be highly appreciated!

I recently quit from the grocery store. Due to the 38 hours per week, not being able to sit down and only 2 bathroom breaks during 9 hour shift. Then to top it off, my coworkers threw me into the deep end of the labor work. That they did not teach me well enough for the tasks and customer service and the heavy work load. Which lead me to quit.

I tried looking for a new job. But all the businesses and companies are putting the tasks for 3 people on just 1 person. I even tried applying at the hospital for nursing assistant. That even certified nurses don’t like their jobs. Because they are also doing janitorial work.

So are people picky and lazy or are businesses putting too much load on people?
