Open Question: Corporate world advice for college student? Internship not going well...?

At the beginning of the summer, I was advised to partake in a media internship, due to the fact, that I want to transfer to NYU's Tisch for film and I was told this would look great on a resume. I have succeeded in the classroom so I thought an off-campus learning experience could be just the thing that would help receive some real hands-on learning. Since I began the internship it has been one frustration after another, one dissapointment after another, etc. It has not been a good experience. Sure, learning is learning, but I have to say I regret deeply that this is my first corporate experience. The internship is at a local news/broadcasting station, and I am basically a production assistant- filling that role rather. Since Day 1 it has been the same exact thing- the employees every talk about each other behind each others back, swear up and down, lift their voices, and act incredibly unprofessional. The news anchors behave like kids, and the production is not much better. I have also worked with the "production sales," writing, producing, shooting, etc. commercails for local business. Working with them originally seemed like a great experience! Then reality seemed to set in and I once again faced the issue of different people telling me different things in regards to the same issue. I have had two retail jobs in my entire life, so I am willing to admit I am incredibly inexperienced. Once I felt as if I was being given the icy shoulder, the run around, being ignored, and other people taking responsiblity for something that seconds before that gave me responsibility for, I "checked out," in some regard. I have texted around the people I work with (which they explained to me was innapropriate, despite the fact that I am literally sitting around doing nothing), and have recieved negative evaulations. I guess I am wondering...is this normal? Am I to expect to find this in EVERY corporate environment I work in? Are business people always this two-faced? big corporations I understand, but a tiny local news station? Is this my fault? What can I do to turn this around in two days?

Open Question: Need to know what is reasonable if we are "just friends"?

I have a guy pal who I used to date but we are now just friends. Even after we broke up, he called me pretty often. He has recently reduced his phone calls and I don't know what is going on. He may be dating someone else now. Anyway, I guess it's none of my business, though I do miss the way things used to be. My question is how often would you expect a very good pal or a best pal to call you? By the way, we do not look each other except on weekends when we do things together. We are not in school. We are both in our twenties.

Open Question: What career would be good for me?

I'm just starting college and I keep changing what I want to do. I think I have an interest in business. I like the idea of climbing up the corporate ladder and I like to work with finances. I can also be somewhat of a risk taker and am willing to work extra difficult. I'm not every that good at advanced math but I'm still good with numbers in general. I like the idea of getting a bachelors degree and I'm not exactly looking to be wealthy. I just want to make sure I have a good career where I can support a family and live in a good home in a nice neighborhood. I'm thinking about going into business management. What do you guys think? What classes should I take?

Open Question: Isn't it sick for a 28 y/o man to have sex with a 21 y/o student girl?

Not because of the age difference but because of the fact that she JUST became legal to receive into a bar and stuff. A 35 y/o man can date with a 25 y/o lady and I wouldn't say it's wrong at every. But in this case, I find it SICK that a 28 y/o business man is having sex with a 21 y/o student. Am I wrong? Please be honest.

Open Question: I need girlfriend advice?

I have been on and off with a girl for 7 years and when we were about 3 years into the relationship I chose to follow her to the college she was going to (in hopes of keeping the relationship alive). Well anyway from the start she didn't spend as much time with me as I would have wanted and we started arguing and fighting every the time... she ended up dumping me and clip off every contact with me for about a month. I moved back home (about an hour away) and went to community college for a year while starting to talk to her again and we patched things up. I made the 2 hour roundtrip steer hundreds of times to look her, she never came back to look me once. I completed community college and decided that I was going to go to the college I had wanted to go to since I was 5 which was 1200 miles away. I figured we were already long distance so it wouldnt have mattered. We weren't going out when I left but she didn't want to receive back together either. Since I left my grades have gone up, I built a successful business, and adore the weather out here. In every the time I've been out here, she hasn't arrive to look me once and refuses to. She also is telling me she'll never leave her family and move out of state. I told her thats fine but I'm not moving to where she lives again to receive dumped again by her. The problem is she still texts me every the time to look what I'm doing, she always says she wants to talk but every she says is the same thing that she isn't going to leave and I should just deal with it. What do you think I should do?

Open Question: A guy friend of mine likes me and I don't like him back.?

A pal of mine for years now thinks he's "in adore" with me- we work together and are both freelance artists and he's helped me receive a lot of work as well (he's a good 10 years older than me and has been in this business for longer), however, I've been in a relationship for the last three years that ended a few months ago. I always viewed his crush harmless, until now-- it seemed as though he expected to be the "next in line," and that I "owe" him for helping me with my work. However, it's difficult for me to wrap my mind around the idea that he could have been lying in wait this entire time. Anyway, i've told him multiple times that I am not romantically interested in him but I truly value his friendship and I wish that he is not around me for ulterior motives. Everything was fine until I expressed interested in another guy and then he (my pal with the crush) clip off every contact with me. WTF??? Did I do something wrong? How can I rectify my friendship with him? Do I even want to? I feel a little guilty since my career is taking off a little and I have him to thank for it... Advice anyone?

Open Question: College essay topic...!?

Hi, My school wants us to start thinking about our essay for college next year over the summer. I was thinking for my college essay topic I could write about overcoming my fear of public speaking. I want to show colleges that I can overcome challenges and I don't let anything stand in my way. Only thing I am worried about is that I feel like many applicants might write about a topic like this. How can I write my essay with a unique approach? I want to major in business and I know communication and public speaking are essential in that area so that is why I want to write my essay on overcoming my fear. When I was in 9th grade, I had to research a famous person and gift it to the class. The other students would vote on who they thought had the most interesting person and who presented the best. I was chosen, so then I had to gift my project to the whole grade. I did Oprah Winfrey by the way. This was the first time I spoke in front of about 400 people and after presenting, I realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. Of course I'm going to add more details and write better. but would this be a good topic to write about? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks ! :)

Open Question: Keeping the states out of the federal government's business?

One of the arguments against the recent Arizona illegal immigrant law is that a State must not do the Federal governments job. (Can we every agree that the legislation is not ADDING a crime, it is just enforcing laws on the books that are not being enforced?) Here is my question. Liberals. If this is the reason you are opposed to this law can you tell me why you are so against issues that are the reverse? Meaning.. you want Health care nationalized while it is obvious that a STATE can do that without any help, the same is true about education, welfare, housing, food stamps etc. I would be glad to side with you on this.. if you will also bring every the liberal causes YOU push down to the state level where they freaking belong. Let the federal government be LIMITED!!!! What the freak is so difficult about this. Lets keep this huge government tiny.. i mean.. you guys hated GWB but you are giving the next president that you like a TON more power so.. what.. the NEXT GWB will have every that power too? Are you liberals INSANE? Conservatives too, we did it with Bush. its time to clip the bahls off the federal government before we every choke on them. Cause folks.. they are shoving those smelly things down our throats.

Open Question: Questions for supporters of prayer in schools, teaching the "controversy," etc.?

Do you have principles? Or, if not principles, do you have the slightest peripheral notion that people exist in America that believe differently than you do? I ask because it would seem that, if you had either of these, you would soon realize that your persistent campaign to Christianize America makes no sense. It is not only a display of utter contempt toward the Constitutional principles on which our country is founded, but it is also one of the most shockingly narrow-minded, shamelessly hypocritical ideological movements ever bred in this country. This latter point may arrive as a surprise. Hypocrisy is not a common charge against your group (being, as there are, plenty of more obvious ones to pick from), but there can be no doubt that your rhetoric reeks with it. So far I have not heard a single convincing argument (and, for that matter, very few arguments at every) to the point that you have the executive privilege to enforce your religious interpretations by law. And yet, on the oft-chanted yet never-proved basis that America was founded as a "Christian nation," you hijack our legislature, our court system, and even our schools, and conform them to your image until you've done every but establish a state religion. So, to prevent my "question" from turning into a rant, I want to propose a hypothetical situation, and then follow it with a question I've wanted to know the answer to for quite some time. --- Suppose that the Anti-Defamation League lobbied members of Congress to pass a bill mandating the closure of every businesses from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, with an earmarked ban on pork sales. The force behind the proposed bill would be the widely-lamented absence of traditional Jewish values in American culture, where non-kosher foods are regularly consumed without pause and synagogues have had to close due to needy attendance. Against every expectations, the bill would pass through both houses, and receive signed into law by the president. --- Would you complain? And if you would, then why do you turn a deaf ear when non-Christians complain about you doing essentially the same thing?

Open Question: How to advertise for a musical album online?

I am a web developer and I was hired by The pal of my cousin to advertise for her album online. Now I know how to advertise for my websites and it's easy because if I fail, it's okay, but now i'm advertising for another person and that's called responsibility. So far I am managing a group for her on Facebook and I created a group to her as well, I am the one who uploads her video clips on youtube and I'm managing her account as well, I'll be advertising for her on twitter and i'll put ads on facebook. And I will be creating a website for her soon. Is there something more I can do to let the people know about her new album? And could you give me a complete plan (possibly a link ) to tell me how to advertise for an album online? Advertising on radio and tv is not my business, I'm responsible for letting people know of her new album which will be available in 2 weeks, and she's not american and doesn't sing in english so don't ask for her name, she's a new singer.

Open Question: My family is not supportive?

I'm 38 and the youngest of three girls. My family has never reallysupported me in things, even when I was little. I've been laid off two different jobs in the past three years because of the economy. I'm the most independent of every of my sisters. I've had to go to my mom and my dad, who are both financially stable (who are divorced) for money for rent etc..both were very degrading and told me no. My sisters refused to help also. I got laid off last year and I didn't tell anyone and they found out and then asked why I didn't tell them. I explained it wasn't their business. They said they would have wanted to know, that they didn't care if I wasn't working, but not to ask them for money. My dad has always said, "If you can't depend on your family, who can you depend on?" So, I'm trying to make a final decision if I should even go to holidays and birthdays. What's the point? They're not caring enough to help their possess. Any suggestions?

Open Question: Why do Democrats want to give away more money? Isn't it yet clear that redistribution of wealth doesn't work?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40411.html Efforts to provide relief to the nation's struggling tiny businesses stalled in the Senate Thursday, prompting a bitter round of finger-pointing on a measure that once had broad bipartisan support. The bill, which would create a $30 billion Treasury-backed loan facility and provide tax cuts for tiny businesses worth $12 billion over 10 years, failed to break a GOP-led filibuster on a 58-42 vote. For weeks, Republicans have pressed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to open the door for a series of amendments. But Democrats have balked, saying the amendments in question are not germane to the issue on the floor. With a week until the August recess, Democrats are eager to clear the bill and tout an accomplishment before moving onto a packed floor schedule in the coming days. But the impasse ensures that the two sides will continue haggling over whether to move forward with the bill or drop it altogether before moving onto other business, including an energy bill and Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination. "My frustration is pretty high," Reid said on the floor. His comments came after Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), who for weeks has been pushing the measure, lambasted Democrats for not giving the GOP a chance to amend it. "We could have addressed this issue long before now, give it the attention it deserves rather than treating it as a mere afterthought in the legislative process that we've got to ram in there and deny the minority the opportunity to offer a few amendments," the usually staid Maine moderate thundered on the floor. Moments before the vote was about to be called, Reid tried to clip a deal: Allow the GOP to offer three amendments and kill disaster and agriculture relief funding. But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said three GOP amendments would not be enough, though he sounded optimistic that a deal could be reached later. "I think we're getting closer," McConnell said. "I think there's a chance we may be able to make some significant progress very soon. In the meantime ... the leader and I can continue to try to unsnarl this." But Reid shot back: "There's nothing to unsnarl." Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), an architect of the bill, pressed McConnell on the precise number of amendments his side would be satisfied with. But McConnell punted. "That is the sort of thing that the majority leader and I work on every day, ... and we ought to do that." Pressed further, McConnell called for regular order, prompting the cloture vote to start and effectively cutting off the Louisiana Democrat. At the middle of the deal making is Sen. George LeMieux, the Republican from Florida, whose economically distressed home state includes a host of banks and tiny businesses pushing for the bill. While he supports the measure, LeMieux said that he's trying to help both sides reach an accommodation. "It sure would be a shame if it didn't receive done," LeMieux said after the vote. LeMieux also disputed Reid’s suggestions on the floor that he would vote for cloture if the disaster money were removed and said it’s largely up to the majority leader to receive the bill passed. “The keys to the kingdom are in Harry Reid’s pocket.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/40411.html#ixzz0vB8SL8g6

Open Question: What political party would you say I am?

I'm only 15, but I still have some strong views on things such as politics. So anywhooo, I will start with my opinion on gays and gay marriage. I think that it should definitely be allowed, and I have absolutely no problem with gays and lesbians. A person's sex should not matter, as long as you are in adore. And how would it even effect other straight couples?? It's not like everyone is going to turn gay or anything "horrible"..... Sorry I just hate it when people are so against homosexuals. As for taxes and government, I think they need to keep out of everyone's business. They should only take care of necessary things, like defense and maintaining a decent environment... And of course, taxes are necessary for education, because without it how are we going to go about life if no one can afford it. I think that taxing the wealthy is BS, because after every, most wealthy people work difficult for their money and are successful. That shouldn't be taken away from them just because a bunch of people are so lazy that they would rather have the government pay them instead of going and actually getting a job. Sure, some people need money because of severe health problems, but a majority of them really don't and are just greedy. As for abortion, I think it should be allowed for if someone were raped and not ready to take on the life as a mom. But anyway, if someone were stupid enough to not protect themselves and receive pregnant, and decide to receive an abortion, that's not my problem. I don't like it, but it's their choice for what they pick to do to themselves. Same goes for prostitution and drugs. I look down on it, but again, it's their choice if they want to mess up their life. Don't receive me wrong, I still think it should be regulated by the law. Oh and I believe that people should be able to pay for healthcare themselves. I want the least bit of government as possible. By the way, how similar are conservative and libertarians? My dad is a conservative, and I agree with some views that he has, but also have some different opinions. I should mention that I took a test in Civics class and got libertarian as a result.... So obviously I know they have differences, but how different are they? And anyone know why the majority of my school has to be liberal? I don't receive that! Is it because of how involved the government is in schooling? Are their views being persuaded? Please no rantings about how stupid my views are, because honestly, I don't care about how we differ. You're not going to persuade me to think the same because after every, I am a VERY stubborn girl :) tehabwa, I actually do agree with you! Sorry I think I came off as uncaring.... But I meant to say that not every people just selfishly want the money, but sometimes it is the case. You did have a very good answer. And trust me, my family has been through extremely rough times before, to the point where we had to move to be able to pay for a place to live. So I understand where you're coming from.

Open Question: Obama set up CXX with Joyce Foundation and Shoreline Bank so he profits billions off Cap and Trade (CXX is Chi?

Obama set up CXX with Joyce Foundation and Shoreline Bank so he profits billions off Cap and Trade (CXX is Chicago Carbon Credit Exchange). So shouldn't he be disallowed from seeking to extort US businesses and consumers with Cap and Trade, a bill he's pushing? Not only is global warming a hoax, but it's a big extortion money maker for Gore through GIM (Europe's carbon exchange) and CXX (Chicago's).

Open Question: How do I stop my businesses emails from being marked as 'spam'?

I recently started a new business, and I do a lot of it online. For some reason, emails coming from my server are constantly going into the recipients 'spam' folder instead of into their inbox. I assure you that I am not sending out spam, I only send emails to people who request more information about my services. Is there anything I can do to cease inboxes from flagging my mail as spam? Its really interfering with my ability to run my business successfully.

Open Question: What is the problem with some Aries ( i am a Sagittarius )?

Ok, this is the situation. Every since one of my old friends introduced his lover to me its been a problem. My pal ( a GEMINI ) and his lover (a Aries ) started dating and i noticed that me and my pal (gemini) got extremely distant. Well over a period of time his lover ( the aries ) decides to hit me up on yahoo, and we would have random conversations. Well to make a long story short, me and the gemini isnt pal anymore and i honestly feel its because of the aries and the gemini need for a lover and attention. He have every this new confidence and its only because he have a lover ( the aries), which i have personally seen down him as a person, and try and move him away from his very dreams. BUT the gemini refuses to break up or even move on, they have even been abusive. What guide to our friendship ending was the fact that his lover started to try and talk to me on a relationship level. And i wasnt havent it. So i confronted my pal about it ( the gemini) and some how it was my fault. So thats over with. But as far as the Aries, even when i run into him today its always odd questions that he ask. Most of them are about my finances, business, who bought me this, how can i afford that,....etc. Its irritating as hell. Its negative and extremely bytch like. So last week, i was out to dinner with my friends and my OLD pal ( the gemini) and his Lover ( the Aries ) was there. They decided to arrive and sit with us. I didnt care, but the look on my old pal face was priceless, he looked either pissed at something or just irritated in general. So once again, the lover ( Aries ) started a conversation about himself some how...and i started to text on my phone, so he got louder, and i looked up like dude....wtf we are in a restaurant. One of my friends changed the subject towards who ordered what ( we was at TGI Fridays ). After about 5 minutes of conversation, the Aries once again pointed out things that he once into, and then tried to point out his age which is older and that he is becoming more accomplished, I told him that it was great that he was following his dreams. So then he started to ATTEMPT to point out and give me advice on things along with asking me more questions about my finances, business and new ventures i was getting into. I completely ignored him and it pissed him off and i changed the subject. What the fuck kinda of Aries is this PLEASE....someone tell me what is going on here???????????????? (Jensen) The gemini and I aren't friends anymore basically because he take his lover sign over mine. Even though, i always have given him positive insight on anything he needed. But when it arrive to dating he just can't help but to fall weak to his lovers. The Aries (his lover) on the other hand, want to remain my pal, but he always find ways to receive into my finances and what I am doing, and who i am seeing. I dislike that alot. It honestly feel like he want to compete with me as a person but he and I both know that he can't. I am extremely outgoing and humble. And he pushes things on people to try and find out information. Its extremely irritating and childish. He down people it seems to make himself look better, or down everyone elses success or situations to make himself the middle of attention when i don't have to do that. (Matthew Teti) Thank you for that. I am trying to look both sides of the picture here, I don't want to receive big headed, but i honestly feel the same way about what you are saying. I feel that not only if i stay remain the aries pal that it could receive worst, but i feel that i honestly cant trust him as a person. He seem to be up to something always. I mean how does my finances and business always seem to catch his eye, even though he swear i am younger then him....etc. Its like he want to know how i am becoming successful, and want to possibly steal ideas in the process. And as far as the Gemini, its a lost call. I have been friends with 2 geminis that just receive crazy when they date people. They will treat everyone around them like shyt until they need them again. Which isn't chilly for a pal. FYI, i told this pal his lover tried to talked to me, even showed him the evidence, and he still remained lovers and even more distant from me. Its chilly though. Because that is a weakness. (ELENA).....i havent been in close contact with them for about 2 years. but the Aries always find ways to keep in touch....the TGI Fridays ordeal was out of the blue. I was there with another group of friends when they came to sit with us. I am not the gemini's pal at every anymore, and he lover want to stay friends...but i still keep my distance.... (@GAMER) well honestly the one reason i asked....was because "ARIES" have a flaw sometimes of being envious, jealous and controlling....you may not have known that or just don't want to admit it. But its true sometimes....sorry
