In need of new career
I've been thinking about career change. I love to bake. I was thinking about getting into starting up a bakegoods business out of my home. Anyone have any experience with this or any advice on how to start out? 
So am I. At least, she will have a career

That would definitely point me in a new career

I am also looking for a career change and
would like to work in a doctor's office. I find it rather amusing that they require some type of "degree" for clercial work yet if you register with an employment agency they place you without a degree (even temp to hire). When I deal with doctor's offices I find it hard to believe that these ladies have a degree - especially when it comes to common sense, but for $10/12 an hour what do you expect! JMO
As far as I know career = north
Here's a website that gives some office tips (hope the link works)

She might be better finding a new career
I hate to sound harsh or rude, really, but if you cannot do the Indian accents, it might be wise to take your unemployment benefits and transition to a new career. There are few jobs out there that don't come with a goodly number of ESL dictators, and the transcriptionists that have jobs typing just the "good" dictators aren't crazy enough to give them up.
So keep telling unemployment you're looking for work, but do your stress level a favor and look for it in a different field.
okay here's some ideas for a new career Hayseed - sm
Conscientious and attentive, Goats need work that requires lots of responsibility. Capricorns are rarely in subordinate positions for long. Whether they're store managers or hospital administrators, you can count on these folks to run a tight ship. Their earthy sensibilities are best suited to jobs that involve material goods. Banking, manufacturing and building are all good industries for these folks to pursue.
Help in deciding on career change...
Hi. I have decided to go back to school (starting tomorrow) and I had chosen accounting as my field of study. However, after looking online at many, many jobs, I see that the Associates Degree that I will receive is not really worth much more than the paper it is written on and will definitely not get me a job making anywhere near what I make now, so I would have to go to school 4 years to do anything with that degree.
The school also has a Medical Office Management degree that would only take me 7 quarters at most (not counting that I can probably exempt a lot of the classes, such as medical terminology, pharmacology, basic computers, document processing, etc.).
My question is, for those of you who still have connections in doctor's offices, are the doctors now really looking at education as a factor in hiring someone, or are they still working on the "worked my way up through the ranks" or "my friend who used to work in an office" or "my wife needs a job and I am going to make her manager" attitude? I managed an office years ago before I started transcription and I now know that I was terribly unqualified to do the job, but the doctor loved me as a lab technician and he thought I had a "take charge" attitude and put me in charge. Is that still how it works I guess is my question...
I hope Gina gets a great career out of it
anyway. I like her voice and think she is very talented.
But if AI goes away, hasn't Howard Stern gotten what he wanted? Attention and some sort of ridiculous accomplishment? I don't know more than I have to about him, but isn't he all about not having any morals? But he's decided some TV show is getting the attention he craves, so this amoral idi-ot is trying to call this entertaining show wrong. He's such a hippocrit.
I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
An office manager earlier in my career...
... those of you who have been around long enough will know the type... the polyester queen who'd started with the doctor when he opened his practice in 1951, and she used to work until 11 o'clock every night, keeping things caught up, but never put in for OT pay, and because she had done it, she expected the rest of us to do it too.... Labor laws? We don't need no stinkin' labor laws.... (No, we didn't stay one minute past closing time. We didn't let her guilt us into it.)
When I started at the job, I was promised a raise in a certain amount after 3 months. I got half the amount, and I was too chicken to raise a stink. Later, my finances got so tight, I went to her to tell her if I didn't get a raise, I was going to lose my apartment and have to move back in with my parents. She claimed she asked the doctors, came back, and told me I'd have to move back home. I later found out she never asked the doctors--and that if she had, they'd have granted the raise. Grrrrr.....
My desk was right next to hers, and if my typewriter was silent for more than 5 seconds she'd look over and comment on the fact that I wasn't working. Nevermind that I was looking something up in the Dorland's at the time....
Many, many years later, I somehow wound up next to her at a retirement party for one of the doctors. She too had long since retired, and I too had moved on, but they invited back any and all of the old staff they could find. By the end of the luncheon I was wondering how on EARTH I sat next to that witch with a capital B for 3 long years and didn't KILL her. Because she was still at it--picked on every single thing I did, including the fact that I ordered steak, because steak isn't for lunch, it's for dinner, and that if you can't afford to pay cash in full for a car, you are not to buy the car, you are to ride the bus to work until you have saved up the full cash price of the car. Then she grabbed my hand and screeched, "Do you bite your nails?"
Come to think of it... it was during that era that I started getting really, really cranky............... :)
sounds phony to me too...great career in fiction writing...nm
