Should I get a second job? Where?
finance | jobs | retailShould I get a second job, and should I work retail? Suggestions as to where? I have a full-time job now with benefits, I work basically 10 - 6:30, but this is an expensive city (DC) and I'm having a hard time saving money. Since I'm in the web development field, a natural fit would be freelance on content-migration projects. But I've done that and it depresses me to go home and sit in front of a computer alone slogging away at code, after I've just spent 8 hours sitting in front of a computer. What should I do? So, retail? I've never waited tables and don't want to do that. Any retail places you'd recommend to work? Or is there something else part-time that makes sense to look for as a second job, which would get me out of the house, offer evening or weekend hours (I could also do a really early shift ending at or before 10)? I am really good at juggling a lot of small tasks at once and keeping track of all the details..
Managing an Anothology Project
anthology | book | consideration | culture | finance | ideas | jobs | legal | logistics | malaysia | money | project | publishing | research | rights | roles | teamsWhat should I take into consideration when spearheading an anthology project? What resources are out there for us? I'm organizing a book project to collect real-life stories related to the Others (non-Malay/Chinese/Indian, classified as "Other" on all official documentation) in Malaysia. This only started a few days ago, so it's all planning at this stage, but currently I've built up a great team and we're discussing issues on content, definitions, research, publication, and publicity. While some of us in the group have some experience with publishing (as a writer, editor, or just part of the process somehow), none of us really have that much experience in starting, organizing, and managing such a project. I'm doing quite a bit of brainstorming to work out what we need to consider, but would like some ideas and tips in case I left anything out.
401(k) employer matching
401k | employment | finance | jobs | retirementWhen must an employer deposit their matching funds in a 401(k) account? I understand that employee contributions must be deposited "as soon as possible", but what about the employer's matching?
How should I get a job in finance?
finance | jobsI'm a psychology/biology undergraduate senior graduating in the spring, help me get into a finance job in new york. After majoring in psychology and biology I've realized I don't want to go into either of those fields. I want to do something in finance, perhaps corporate finance or investment banking instead. I don't have any finance experience directly, but I've held a bunch of summer/during the school year job/internships mostly dealing with medical research, or psychology industry jobs. So here's the question. Am I wasting my time trying to directly apply for an entry level job in some of the big banks since I don't have any specific industry experience? Should I try to find my way in through connections? Also, what kind of starting salary could I expect.

Robin Hood - men 'n' rights
banquets | finance | jobs | medieval | money | pay | workUKJobsFilter: So, the medieval banqueting centre I've been playing Robin hood at for the past 16 years just rang me up to say they're selling the building to developers, and at the end of April that's it, all done. I've been self-employed for most of that time and have been invoicing on a 'per gig' basis for years now, but I'm wondering if, as they've easily (by a factor of lots ) been my main employer for those sixteen years whether a 'that's your lot, chum' is all I'm getting, or is there a 'self-employed severance' for long term invoicers?
