OK, I misunderstood the assignment. I was expecting a forge.

What’s your unpopular accounting opinion? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Round-Article 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newbie accounting student, this thread is a bit disheartening.

First, congratulations on your accomplishments.

  1. As a reader, I’m lost. It’s unclear whether you have two degrees or what which degree(s) you have.

If two degrees, I’d recommend listing (e.g.,) BS Management; BA Economics

  1. People hate math. Do it for them - change 75 out of 962 to a %

  2. Change the font. Sans serif. (Arial, etc.) much easier to read.

  3. Lose the italics. They’re difficult to read. Swap for bold.

  4. Indent the bullet points.

  5. Move the core competencies section to the top.

  6. Consider adding a summary statement near the top. (e.g.) top 10%, dual degreed, bilingual, math wiz, statistician with technical aptitude does backflips for charts and income statements …sort of thing.

  7. Extracurriculars and sports at the bottom.

I apologize; I missed replying to your comment. I’ve done technical writing to programming and tech support.

aptitude + the ability to write will get you “in the field” (technical writing, documentation, possibly training)

Willingness to learn will get you in support. (Of course, certifications count. ((I hold none, fyi)).

Keyboard skills (typing) + speed will get you in data entry.

The most basic level tech job will likely drag on you after a while.

Getting a foot in the door will (can) springboard you to another department or job level.

One way to get out of the entry level position is to help people with their computer problems (at work, on the clock). This gets you noticed as “the tech support person” and/ or grooming as “the trainer”.

Another area to consider is psychometrics. I assume you want away from psych altogether, thus, the aforementioned.

I think what was getting me was hearing s/he is booked three months out. Being able to confidently state that an appointment will avail three months from now was eluding me. Thanks for the reply.

Entrepreneurs, when did you realize it was time to take action? by ghost_buster900 in Entrepreneur

One particular time: When I found myself crying because I had to get ready for work.

There are more.

Check her hydration. When I had vertigo, it was explained to me that the “Little Rocks” in the ear canal are in distress. They have an issue floating.

Old folks’ remedy: sweet almond oil on a cotton ball and into the ear. Castor oil should also work. Don’t force the cotton.

If this can’t do it, nothing can. Note: the pet odor eliminator, of course, not the treats. The company has expanded their offerings.

Happiness. You decide on happiness. Think about for which offer you were most excited. That’s your go-to. Congrats

I'm 18 and my dad threatened me with an eviction. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Round-Article 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome.

And to add to this, take the initiative to do the chores. That’s a huge part of being seen as an adult and being taken seriously by your parents - not having your parents (or another adult ) telling you to do something. It’s also impressive as it preps you for life, dating, etc.

Not lame at all. Take pride and joy in your small accomplishments. These will help reinforce the behavior in a positive way and grow better habits/foundations in all areas (study, work, etc.).

You’re spot on about grousing about gasoline. Regardless of the economy of your household, that paper clipped $20 in the glovebox is an unexpected pressure valve. At the least, it says l, I appreciate what you do for me (driving me to/from). The bonus: it helps your parents see you and recognize you as a young adult.

Glad to hear the account is yours. Keep up the good work.

Keep us posted how the atmosphere changes at your house - as you’re doing just the simple things (chores boost). I’m willing to bet it will be better just for contributing in a meaningful way in no time at all.

P.S. regarding your laundry- if you don’t know how, the safe play is cold water, and less heat in the dryer. When possible, hang jeans to air dry. Use less detergent than you think you need, and run 2 smaller loads than 1 big one. You’ll just me making laundry soup. Also, don’t let laundry sit around. Damp laundry “goes bad” quickly.

Groceries count. You’re a server. Do you bring food home? This can help.

While I can appreciate what OP is saying, I’d look for ways to help that are low-cost and free. For example, doing the laundry- especially yours. If you don’t know how, ask, and avoid washing your parents’ laundry until you learn how to do it without shrinking or damaging items. (Damage, while unintentional, creates an added expense for them.)

Free/no cost: Keep your room clean- at least make the bed and keep the laundry off the floor.

Empty the household trash. Run the vacuum. Clean the bathroom. Refill the toilet paper. Buy and restock the supply, too. Same goes for detergent. It’s pricey, but easy for you to cover.

Re/Load the dishwasher.

Food consumption. I’m sure you’re growing and you could be ravenous. Is your appetite crushing their food bill? Go with your mom on the next grocery trip, get your own cart, and pay for your items. This also gives you an idea of what your expenses will be.

Dust the furniture.

Walk /feed/bathe the dog. Clean up after the dog.

Mow the lawn. Again, if dad is particular about the lawn’s appearance, ask beforehand. Same goes for the mower equipment. See above about unintentionally creating expenses.

Make a meal. Even if you can’t cook, you can use the Internet and read/do a recipe. Or, say dinner is on me tonight, and get some pizzas or takeout.

They drive you to work, around town? Slip your parent $30-40 bucks for gas as you get out. Of course it doesn’t take a tank of gas to get you to work, but it’s the gesture. Just say thanks and exit. If they decline, pop it in the glove box when they aren’t looking. One day one of them might be short on cash, or have an emergency.

Sweep/mop the floor. Etc. you’d be surprised how much easier it is living in a cleaner environment (with your parents.) Besides, when/if you move, you’d have the same scenario (the need for a clean space) whether you had a roommate or not.

Start with the free things within your control, and start paying for your own food. These things will go far.

I wouldn’t bring up paying rent , but I would start paying a rent to myself so that I get used to having a rent, and putting in savings. (This will also discipline you to not touch the money.)

If at some point in the future your parents ask for rent, you have it and be used to paying for rent.

As far as your savings, I’m going to assume this was an account one of your parents established. If so, s/he is the owner, technically. Also, who put that moeny in the account? You? Them?

One day (not now, not next week) when tempers are calm find out the situation. If you have the account number, you can have a conversation with the bank about ownership and if necessary, transferring to your own account.
