For a start, I wanted to write a book on my high school experiences so far, (I'm a Sophomore though). I believe the first two years have been the toughest and I strive to share my story. I plan to get into as much detail as I can, but sometimes, it's rather much difficult to look back and try to remember everything that happened at the time. They say that in the later years of high school, it gets so much better, so I would really like to share my story of the first two years of high school? In your own personal opinion, do you believe anyone would want to read a book on a teenager and her first two years of high school? Should I wait 'till I'm out of high school? I know I have the rest of my life to write a book, but I am so anxious to write one. modernwinterbreeze Sat, 10 May 2008 16:37:11 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_do_i_write_a_memoir 229149 I have got a job offer, I am not experienced as have not worked before and we do have financial problems. Employer may consider me having part time , if I agree to a low pay than the actula scale. For me getting experience is the priority. My problem is I have a two year old daughter. My husband can stay at home after two in the afternoon. He is not saying either yes or no to looking after my daughter if I say yes to the employer. I so ant to do the job as money is really tight but don't know if I should take up the offer or let it pass and wait till my daughter grows up. I am already 37 and jobs are hard to come by as it is for non - experienced people like me. what should I do? mansha Sat, 10 May 2008 10:17:49 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/should_i_take_up_the_job_while_i 229069 I feel like these temp agencies and work sources are a plauge in this country. Its good that you can just show up and they'll find you a job somwhere, but some take it to far. The company I work for pay's about 22 dollars an hour for me to work, I only get half of that, the rest goes to the company that contracted me out. And this is happening all over the country. Instead of employers paying their employee's a better wage and better benefits, they give it to contract companies or work sources. And the rich get richer just by sitting back and doin nothing. Im doing the same job as the rest of the guys, exact same. But the ones who arn't contracted out make at least 5 dollars more an hour, that aint no joke, thats a lot of money. And we do the exact same job. Same as one of my buddies who started work at a sony factory through a temp agency. He was doing the same job as everyone else but only making 8 dollars an hour when they were making 16. Its complete bullsh*t, these agencies do nothing, I've been at my job 2 years and they've earned 11 dollars for every hour I worked in that time. The working man needs that money, not some stupid company making millions by screwing us. Millions of people are being shafted, if the company I work for pay's out 22 dollars an hour for me, why is it half that goes to a company based in philedolphia when I live in new york. And I've only met people from there once. These companies are a plauge to the american people, making the rich richer, and the poor poorer. I think they should be outlawed, you? It would be a major step in the right direction. give the money back to the american people, we need it, not big industries. especially now with this economic strain. piker187 Fri, 09 May 2008 12:02:14 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/temp_agencies_need_to_be_outlawed 228872 How would I go about becoming an infant photographer?

Are there similarities? Me, personally, yes. My Mom is a social worker who works with children who have developmental delays, mostly autism and Down's. I spent my childhood befriending her "kids" while she did afterschool programs with them. I spent most of high school tutoring kids with learning disabilities, and now work in the nonprofit industry, when I'm not working on FunAdvice :) My Dad is a scholar and entrepeneuer who has started his own successful business. Not sure I want to go in the business route, but scholar, for sure. I plan on getting my PhD asap! What about you guys? Has your parents' professions influenced you at all? editor Mon, 05 May 2008 16:33:00 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/does_your_parents_professions_influence 228182 I am 23 years old, I do not live with my parents. However my dad claimed me on his tax returns. Even though I made more than he did in the year. Because I am over 17, he does not receive the $300 for me, and since I was claimed I technically do not receive the $600 either. This is what I thought. However, an accountant at my dad's work claims that I should receive it. Does anyone know which answer is right. Please let me know.

The whole notion of the "american dream" of home ownership isn't the same - without a college degree, and a middle class job with only one person working in the household, you could buy property that was 2x your annual wage in the seventies in California. Now, even before the run up, the multiple was more like 3x, and post real estate boom, the muliple here is more like 5x your annual salary to buy a house. Given this large discrepency in income vs real estate, is it no wonder there is a widening gap between the rich & poor? thedude Fri, 02 May 2008 12:35:34 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/cost_of_real_estate_versus_your_salary 227593 Why do food prices increased? mh2m Fri, 02 May 2008 09:47:25 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_do_food_prices_increased 227576 Did any one file for bankrupcy?

Say a homeless guy comes up to you, and he clearly looks strung out. Instead of making up some lie to get your money, he is honest and straight up tells you he is probably going to use it for drugs or booze(unlike most, who will come up with some pitiful story to try and get their drug money). Would you give him any change because of his honesty? I would in that case, if I had some change to spare, just because he was so honest. tizubythefizo Thu, 01 May 2008 21:50:41 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/give_a_homeless_guy_money 227535 I have recently aquired my cdl but everywhere I try to apply it is no felony covictions .
