can you be financially comfortable as a teacher?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

You always hear about how teachers get paid so little, and I am in school to be an elementary school teacher. The money doesn't matter to me really, I love kids and the look in their eyes when something *clicks* gives me such an amazing feeling, but I dont want to be just barely scraping by either. Is the money as bad as people say? Can teachers be comfortable finance wise?

I live comfortably… maybe not as comfortably as I'd like, but I don't seem to have any more or less money than my other college grad friends. I do know that I won't ever make millions, and I can tell pretty much what I'll be making in ten years.

My income is steady, and predictable. I don't get bonuses, and I don't get paid during the summer, so I need to budget for that, but I have the car I want, I don't live in the 'hood, and I take some fairly nice vacations… not 4 star, but I'm good.

I also have a solvent retirement plan and a good medical insurance.

How has technology and e-business impacted the stock market and financial markets in America?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market


Technology. It made the stock market much faster to work with. Trades can be done on the floor or online. Investors expect [financial reports] filings to be completed ontime, and immediately accessible to prospective and existing investors.

e-business launched an era in the late 1990s where just about anyone could develop an online business. The true test is maintaining that business with a stronger business plan.

Is graphics a good major to get into?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

As the title states, I was wondering if graphics was a good major to get into. I mean I love art and all of that and I really enjoy the Arts in general, but what about finance wise?

Graphic artists in the advertising world make pretty good money. If you are really good, you could go on to become a creative director in an agency, but those folks are very, very talented and organized.

Here's a great web site to show you payscales of different types of jobs: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Graphic_Artist_%2f_Designer/Salary

How do I buy shares on the Dubai Financial market or Abu Dhabi Securities Market sitting here in London?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market

(shares in companies, trading in these markets)

You need to register with the 2 stock markets and open an online account with a UAE broker. Some brokers will do the registration with the markets for you but either you, or someone you know, has to make a personal appearance to open the account.

What am I to do with my life carreer wise?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

i would love to be a a helicopter or airplane pilot but i would hate to have to go to college and sit thru class that i dont think will do me any good. Im an adveterous fellow, i would love to travel but no finances to do so. I just wanna be out there i would hate to be stranded in an office not going anywhere.

You are a perfect example of "poor parenting". I can only guess your parents are "lazy", complain and blame others for THEIR choices in life, same boring job day in-day out, little or no motivation to improve, no college education, finances are minimal, never traveled, associate with same never excelling, same "boring" life, never exercise. They come home, "flop" in front of the "negative" TV "news", "stuff" themselves, next day, SAME! When did they read a book last, if ever, or have "family time". After all I said your dad is probably a doctor or corporate executive never making time for family.

ONLY YOU can make changes in "life" and form new "habits". You are in a "rut" due to no direction from parents and MUST do something NOW. You are at an age of "uncertainty" and "guidance" will change this way of thinking. If you are unable to continue education due to grades, finances, etc. consider other avenues and "BECOME BETTER EDUCATED" in something.

Many young men have found the military provides "discipline" necessary in life, a professional trade school, leadership, etc., all the required tools to be a productive citizen. You will do things ONLY in your dreams before, travel, establish associations for life with "positive", dedicated people, understand responsibility, steady income, advancement, etc.

"Do nothing now, regret it for "life". You do not want to stay where you live making minimum income, in debt forever.
