I am looking at working at a law firm as a legal secretary and since I would like to relocate to Los Angeles, I could have a second job by working from home for extra cash for extra income toward rent and everything else which can really help my future out. My question is should I do this as I plan to do and is it a good idea?

Sure, why not.  Since you'll be working with lawyers, be careful to avoid anything that might be seen as a conflict of interest (e.g., doing extra work for a client of the firm and getting paid under the table for it -- that's a definite no-no).  L.A. is kind of expensive so you'll need all the income you can get.  Good luck.

Well this depends on where you live.  I go to school here in San Diego and instead of going home I am going to stay here and work at Sea World or the baseball stadium.  There may be places where you live that hire seasonal workers.  But if not and if you really hate staying with your parents that much than maybe you should go on that camping trip.  It will be a nice way for you to make some money and have some great experiances.

You should be happy with what you do.. you spend a good majority of your day at "work".  Personally I am in the process of replacing my "job" with a work at home program. (Not get rich quick... but a legit business that with time and committment... I will NEVER have to listen to another boss tell me what, when or HOW to do something).\n\nInterested in the possibility of changing the direction of your future and possible starting your own home business contact me through yahoo 360 or IM.

Usually a state job.  I'm sure they would be on call for some shifts it depends on the office.  You're not gonna get rich off of it, kinda like a police officer.  Prob. better off in pre-law or forensics.  In general not gonna get paid what you should unless you go to law school & open your own practice.

Yes, I think I heard of it before but if you are open to another business opportunity, I can also give you information.  We have one of the best compensation plan, residual income derived from a movie with a second one coming out soon, plus 7 cafes presently open with more opening soon.  We are the only home-based business with these type of residual income and the sky is the limit to what you can make.  My email is rpelley5@yahoo.com is you are seriously interested.  If you reply, please identify yourself with the pre-paid legal services so I know who you are.  Thank you.

That's a tough situation to be in and yes I do understand the anger and fustration, but as you said how would your suing the current employers look to future employers and plus you are still young and very qualified so why not try applying for another job maybe in the same area or even do something else parttime so that you can make the money to move back home. Hey I left a well paying job recently as I was promised a better paying job only to be told that they changed their minds and so here I am a university graduate working at a call centre making minimum wage. So sometimes when life hands you lemons hey make lemonade with it, you never know, there may be much better in store for you somewhere else and you will look back at this and just smile.

I am not an HR professional but have a master's in it.  (I went into law instead for some reason--don't ask me why because I can't remember anymore.)  If you want the job no matter what, you could try to ask diplomatically about the possibility of relocation expenses.  The fact that the company may be rich has no bearing on its attitude towards paying relocation costs--some will, some won't, and some will do it on a per-case basis.  Obviously, the company does not want to spend the money, but a very qualified candidate who wants the $ may beat out a marginally qualified candidate who doesn't.\n\nIf relocation costs are a deal breaker, diplomatically explain that you would not be able to join if you had to pay those costs, even though the offer sounds great.  They might consider whether it's worth taking a chance on you notwithstanding substantial relocation costs.\n\nOnly you can decide how hard to push for relo costs and whether it's a dealbreaker.  Good luck whatever you choose.

You could make two versions of you resume.  Both with the same skills etcetera but one with the address of your home and the other one with the address were you living now.  So, went you search for a job around your home you give the resume with your home address, and the other one went you search for a job were you living now.\n\nThen you stay or move to whenever you get the job.

Allright, I don't mean to sound like I'm preaching but this is truly what I would advise someone that is 19 years old.  Although I can imagine you really would want some extra cash right now you should think of the long-term picture.  Imagine if you're having a tough time right now, how you would be able to support a family when you grow up.  You really need to upgrade your skills so you can get a better job and the best way to do that is go to school.  I would suggest that you continue staying at home, work and try to save up money and try to get into a good college.  Hopefully with a combination of financial aid, loans and savings you'll be able to get a degree that will allow to move upto a job that pays significantly more.  I used to deliver pizzas when I graduated out of high school, but was able to go to college at the same time since my job was mostly working evenings/nights.  I graduated with a computer science degree and paid off all my college loans within two years after I graduated and worked another two years to save some money.  I then went to graduate school for an MBA and currently earn well over $100,000 and have a net worth over $500,000.  I am not telling you this to pound my own chest but so that you understand that it is very possible and that it really pays off to think of the longer-term.  I hope this helps and sorry I didn't answer your question directly.

Probably not. Some companies will offer a signing bonus, however the relocation assistance is to attract qualified employees from outside the local area. It's probably also a tax write off for the business. Paying you a signing bonus doesn't achieve that and if they give it to you, they'd have to give it to everyone they hired.\n\n You can always ask about it, but if you really want the job, don't push the issue.

What exactly is the nature of the work that is being done to bring over the new clients? Sales calls and meetings? It sounds like the appropriate compensation would be a straight commission (assuming that there is a measurable, immediate sale involved). If the work is being done in YOUR office and especially if this resembles an employer/employee relationship, then certainly the expenses are your department, and there should possibly be a draw against commission as well (a base salary, and commissions are paid only when they are in excess of that salary).\n\nOn the other hand, if the associate is working in her own home or office, then the bills are HER legitimate business expenses which she can deduct from her taxes.

I suggest doing a one-year community college type program before moving to Hollywood, so that you'll have employment skills to maintain an income while you're looking for work in Hollywood.  If you take a secretarial course or bartending class, it will be easier to find work in a new city.  You could look for a roommate when you first arrive, just make sure that you find someone else who can definitely pay the bills on time!  It's easy to find roommates if you look around universities and colleges- there are usually bulletin boards with lots of "roommate wanted" postings.  Don't be afraid though!  I moved to Italy with five days notice and no Italian language skills, and my employer didn't help me with anything.  I spent the first three days crying and crying, and thought I would have to go back home, but within a few weeks everything fell into place and I had a great experience!

Thats a great question and I want to share a personal story with you.  A secured job is a safe job. You know your getting income every pay period. \n\nHowerver, you will never have financial freedom. I knew that and  working an outside job was not for me anymore since I had a baby on the way.  I still needed to know a paycheck was coming every week with any business opportunity I took from home. \n\nI started working a home business opportunity while working outside the home while I was pregnant and now it brings in residual income..which means cash forever. \nI have pay checks that come in everyday and that will always continue. Which gives me comfort taking care of my 3month old.\n\nThe rat race is no fun. If you can't afford to quit your day job keep working on it but work on your Fortune - part-time.  \n\nIf you are interested in more information I would be happy to send you some.\n\nI wish you the best of luck,\nChristy\nchristy_ibo@yahoo.com

ok here is the deal, i am also a stay at home mom, I tried the realestate thing, it is impossible to do it all from home, you really have to be able to jump, to work for you clients. this for me ment taking my one year old to show a house, and she pooped, and 8 months pregnant trying to close of houses. some my case was extreme. I know that you can do referals, and relocation, you relocate people with set appointment, ONLY from home I have never heard of, just think about it people are buying the most expensive thing they will ever buy, they want to see it, feel it, be in it, and THINK a lot about it and this means showing it over and over, even if you don't make the sale, I felt like I wasn't taken to seriously b/c i had to take my 1 year old with me sometimes, cause my husband was at work, and you have to show at the drop of a dime sometimes.  I heard that you can do telemarketing from home in some states, my state you can't but I have a friend that does it, and she sets her own hours, and she loves it! good luck its hard to juggle both I am still trying to!

If you are on-call, you are not required to stay on-site, but you are required to be able to be gotten ahold of when called.  If you cannot be, you can loose you job.  And you really should be close.  If you live an hour away, you shouldn't go home.  \n\nThis was probably done just for the fact above.  You get busy and can't get ahold of the employees.

Generally, I believe it is not a good idea to always go for the job where the money is. Yes, we all need money to live. And of course, the more you have, the more you can spend and enjoy life. However, happiness is something that money can't buy.\nGetting satisfaction out of what you're doing, is very important. Because don't forget that you spend a great deal of your time at work. And always telling yourself that you do it for the money you get, can become very troublesome if there is nothing else.\nHowever, I like the suggestion to go for a part-time job first. Because quite often, we believe there is something that is really attractive to us but once we start doing it, it turns out that it wasn't great and becomes boring very fast. To be honest, I personally imagine that working with hardware really means setting up machines at clients most of the time as the actually assembly of any computer is most likely done in low cost countries.\nTherefore, can you actually describe what exactly interests you in hardware? Maybe there are other jobs where you can make sue of your skills and interests but apply it in a different way? Maybe the suggestion that was given considers your interests, just in a different ways? Is there any chance for you to go to some kind of agencies/seminars where they could offer a variety of different jobs and the backgrounds? \nKnowing your real skill profile would surely help for you to make a better, more informed choice.\nWhile it is generally true that a degree pays of, as you can choose between more jobs and better paid jobs, you surely should have an idea about the direction you're going.\nGraduation not always means that it will be exactly this job and nothing else. Graduation a lot of time shows that you can work in a certain way, independently, without much supervisions. Depending on the type of graduation, it can teach you how to 'think better', how to solve any type of problem more efficiently.\nBecause especially as you're interested in hardware, keep in mind that most of the jobs that simply deal with mechanical tasks without requiring that much other skills, will be moved sooner or later to low costs countries, at least for a certain amount of time. So make sure you have qualifications that are above such simple tasks.\nWell, although I can't answer your question very specifically, I hope you get at least an idea about what you should consider...
