monster.com, www.craigslist.org\nBest way is to get out the yellow pages and call businesses in your field and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. Make sure the resume is for a specific job and not one of those generalized things that make employers think you have no idea what you want to do. They throw those away. Follow up in a week with the person who you faxed it to.

I have worked 2 jobs before and it actually lasted for quite some time.  The reason that I chose to quit was b/c I got a better paying job and was able to support me and my daughter with that income alone.  You do what you have to do in order to pay the bills, support your kids, eat and have  a home.

mid-3o's with a hectic career. There's nothing wrong in a hectic career coz what is important is income for the family especially for kids.

I' am currently an intern at MORGAN STANLEY. I work with a lot of Financial Advisory/Planners. They get paid through commission and sometimes salary and you can make up to $150,000,  but at the same time you have a quota system to meet. If you don't have more than Million of Dollars invested in your clients portfolio's than your gone.

Supposedly they're supposed to pay you for 40hrs/week, however part of the agreement when you take a salaried position is that you will work an expected number of hours per week.  Some employers are more flexible with comp time than others, but if you didn't work your 40 hours you aren't holding up your end of the agreement.

Pick whichever you can see yourself doing until retirement age.  I'm a Secretary and have been now for 15 years, but it can be fairly boring and the work gets monotonous at times.  Again, it's whatever YOU think will keep you happy, not what we think you should do.

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

Not for me.  Yes--money is important.  I definitely would NOT work a "normal" 8-5 job if I didn't need the money.  I would find something I love to do and work the hours that work for me.\n\nHowever, I have taken a cut in pay twice in my life because sometimes money isn't the most important thing. I am at work longer then I am at home sometimes and I see those people more then I see my own family.  If there is major conflict that can't be resolved..I'd rather be somewhere else.  Or in my case, I knew I wanted to get into a different field and I knew I'd have to start at the bottom so i took the demotion.  In my opinion, having a  good boss that i can get a long with, and doing a job I enjoy is more important then money sometimes.

Been there. All you get is crappy hourly jobs, stuff you don't want to do, looking for bigger and better but nothing coming about? sound about right? I have no real suggestion for you other than to keep plugging away. I went through about a 6-7 month stretch of what you're going through. It came to a point where, I was living in Pittsburgh at the time, I said, what's here for me? I looked around and saw that the only I apparently was worth was some menial sh*it job paying 9/hr. I moved since and have landed a nice comfy job in mortgage as a loan officer. if you're comfortable with straight commission the ngive it a try. I'll tell you now to stop wasting your time with the temp agencies. They don't realy give a sh*it about YOUR interests, only their desire to fill a slot by the end of the week. Once in a blue moon they will come across something you'll be interested in but very rarely will that happen. Just keep them on the hook for now but don't burn that bridge just yet. There are placement agencies that deal with more professional positions out there. They still are temp agencies but do more salary and higher positions than the temp agencies do. The ones that come to mind are Robert Half and Officeteam and Manpower. See if there are any in your area and give them a try. Other wise, keep doing the Monster/HotJobs/Careerbuilder thing until something catches your eye. When something does, milk it as if it were you're only hope for work. redo your resume to what they want to hear. Since you've had lots of various experiience, mix and match your skillset until it fits what they are looking for. Also, network. use your friends and family members and see if there are any opening they know of. The old saying holds true that it's not what you know but who you know. If you're looking for something along the lines of exp you've had, look at Aerotech. they specialize in fields of work similar to what your background is.

Can you reduce your hours to one evening a week? Or maybe quit just now and then go back in the holidays/ when they're short staffed.\n\nNo point ruining your future for the sake of a part-time job.

I had a friend who worked for them and made okay money. It all depends on how much you sell, so it is feasible that you make that much...although I wouldn't count on it right off.

From personal experience you MUST find a job that you enjoy.  No matter how much money you make, it is not enough to make a job tolerable...well atleast not for me.  Maybe the bank job is fun, but you could do better, sounds like you have experience in the banking area, find a job that is similar and pays more.  Maybe your best career path is not A-the bank or B-the old company, but rather C-something that is similar but better.

I would stay with Job A. However, I would meet with your Boss. Possibly, take him/her out for lunch or coffee after work and tell your boss, that you love working in the company, and you have been there for six years, so you are a dedicated employee. However, you were offered another position and they include benefits, and raises, and a bonus. Don't tell the details of the latter two. Say that you would love to stay at the company, however, it is a very nice offer, and you thought you should discuss the future of wanting to stay where you are, as you have been commited to the company for 6 yrs already, however, it is hard to turn down another offer that is giving you benefits and more income. With the cost of living always increasing, it's an important decision that you wanted to discuss with with him/her, and see what they think and what the company could do...This approach may work well, as you are getting them to be part of the solution. You are giving them respect, but you are also letting them know that you are a good and dedicated employee (hard to find)... Also think about the time and the travel of these 2 jobs.. If you have to be at a job at 8 am and you have to travel 30-40 minutes (is that during rush hour ?) .. that's quite different than being at work at 10:30am (25 min and no traffic)..\n In addition, Pension plans are a (big) plus.. However, don't tell your boss that the other Co. isn't offering that.. \nTell the pluses, that the other Co. are offering you...and hopefully your Boss,  will value you as a reliable and dedicated person and try to work out something that you will be happy with.

There are several people in my organization who are only 17, and are making more than $100 a day.  Everything is done on the internet, and no-one asks your age.\n\nThis is something you could get started now, and would continue to be a suppliment to your main career indefinitely.  It could even replace your day job in the future and help you to retire really really early!\n\nEmail me if you are interested in my specific organization, or find reliable sources for several of those types of jobs at this site.

You should be more interested in the job than the money.  If it appears you are fixated with money that may take away from other personal values.
