I like to do my tax now. When does department of labor start mailing out w2 form? anyone know?
I am not working, but I am receiving checks from unemployment.
The W2 comes from your employer and they have till Jan. 31.
I am writing a Bill for a class project, and I have to topic of homosexual marriages. What legal department controls marriages in the United States? Thank you for your time.
None. Marriage is not a Federal action.
Wal-mart has recently been labeled as theIdentityy of America. But there are not many downtown locations of the super store, as well as it’s competitor Target. So can anyone tell me for a city like New York, what department store options do you have to buy say a light bulb that you can’t get at a grocery store. Or do you have to go outside the city to access these department stores?
I don’t really think there are different *kinds* of department stores - all department stores carry roughly the same kinds of things, whether they’re in the suburbs or right downtown - although downtown department stores may focus more on clothes and home goods, and less on groceries and hardware and such.
I often visit Manhattan (New York City), and although there really isn’t anything like a Target or Walmart there (that I know of), there are lots of supermarkets, drugstores, and hardware stores which have the same kinds of stuff you would find at a similar store anywhere else.
For your specific example, like a hard-to-find light bulb, a hardware store would probably have it if a supermarket or drug store didn’t.
I am a senior finishing up my BS in economics and I feel… empty, I have done all this math work but unlike an engineer or scientist it feels like I won’t really be adding anything to society. I am going on to complete a masters degree in statistics after and I dread going into an econometrics job because it would just be like adding another lawyer to the world, they are societal leeches. I don’t want to think this about economics, does anyone have a different perspective?
I felt the exact same way that you do when I graduated with an undergrad econ major. I worked at a think tank for a couple years, and continued to feel like I wasn’t really contributing anything besides ideas.
I went back to grad school to get an MBA, and then things got much better. I learned business skills and felt like I could now contribute something of value. Having an econ background was great because I understood a lot of the science and theory behind business, and I was now developing the tools to act on those theories in real-world situations.
Career-wise, an MBA will give you the practical skills to really deliver at the companies you work for and be an MVP.
I would think of your econ degree as being like a degree in physics and then an MBA like an engineering degree. They’re complementary. One is theory, the other is an application of theory.
If you’re already feeling like econ is leaving you empty, I would avoid a masters in statistics. I love math and all, but it narrows your career options (some marketing departments need statisticians and insurance companies need actuaries, but you’ll find more opportunities with other degrees).
Hope this helps you to think things through. I definitely know where you’re coming from.
Good luck!
This was an answer to another questions:
"America is hysterical about STDs.
We should be wary about that HIV=AIDS scenario. Some very serious scientists doubt the correlation, one of them a Nobel-Prizewinner..
In my opinion, AIDS is most often the result of nitrite poisoning: Poppers with gay men, nitrite fertilizers and pesticides in Africa.
HIV has never been isolated, anyway. Does it really exist?
AIDS deaths are caused by malnutrition, narcotics, and antiretroviral drugs, you know.
Look up Professor Peter Duesberg."
What are you thoughts?
@ Undead Skinhead: Sunshine Evidently you can’t read! THIS ISN’T BY ME!
Thor is on a roll……or at least knows how to tweak me !
Just my personal opinions: 1) it is more difficult to become infected with the HIV virus than "they" say (or want us to believe)…….you hear about cases of "but I only did that one time" - but statistics come from anecdotal reports of victims: how many report all their practices, how many partners they’ve had, etc? 2) so your infection is confirmed with an antibody test……."full blown AIDS" is when symptoms of some other opportunistic disease appear………10 or 20 years ago that had no idea how long you could be HIV+ before going full blown…..they were just guessing. they still don’t know. 3) I don’t know that much about the meds you go on when you’re poz…….10 years ago, guys told me they were bad - you still had nausea, etc. now I know guys who take a few pills a day and otherwise don’t have any changes. I suppose I’ll do the meds thing if I go poz. 4) my belief is that HIV truly may lower your resistance to many diseases……..but we are all bombarded by things in the environment and have genetic predispositions to certain diseases……that HIV may make us more prone to contracting something earlier than we would have otherwise. 5) I like what some would call high-risk sex. I accept the risk. I also don’t do drugs, smoke, overdrink, eat right - take care of myself. While others who talk against "high risk sex practices" are engaging in those other dangerous practices. 6) I don’t know if a person with HIV can ever be "cured", ie all traces of the bug removed from their system. I see better meds coming and think there may be a preventative vaccine, pill or whatever before too long. 7) I think the hysteria they pump into kids heads today (and me when I was a teen) is disgusting: despite all the "education" and propaganda, the typical kid doesn’t really understand HIV and many are so scared they think any sexual contact is dangerous, or they not only wouldn’t have unprotected sex with anyone - even if both are proven disease-free - but don’t WANT to. That is sick and unnatural. And I think it is aimed primarily at gays to discredit and discourage us.
Like I said - my opinions. Flame away….gimme those Thumbsdowns !!!
I’ve been trying to do some research on a BA in political science. What jobs can you have with a BA in political science and would it be wise to minor in something with the degree?
With a BA in Political Science, you’ll have 4 options:
A) Get a 1 year certificate and become a paralegal.
B) Go to Law school and become a lawyer.
C) Work in Law Enforcement
D) Go to graduate school for a career in Social Work, Guidance Counseling, Mental Health Counselor, Substance Abuse Counselor, College Professor, or Probation officer
I suggest you do an Associates degree in Criminal Justice and see if political science is for you.
Or, do an Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies.
However, if you’re 100% sure this is for you, then just go straight for the BA.
DO NOT go to Online colleges. They have fake "national" accreditations that are NOT recognized by real colleges and most employers.
I have been accepted everywhere I applied. which includes; California University of Santa Barbra, Berkeley, LA, San Diego and University of Oregon.
Along with California Polytechnic State University, San Diego State, Long Beach State, and San Jose State. (C.S.U.)
I am currently considered homeless by the state liaison and have no financial assistance. Please take this situation into consideration while answering.
Also: Which school offers the greatest in comparison to the input? Should i go to which school is offering the most money?
Where will the quality of education (being taught in a class of 300 by a teacher’s assistant VS being taught by a professor in a class of 20-35) be worth the time and money?
It’s UC Santa Barbara, not CU Santa Barbara.
All three have good engineering programs. Cal Poly SLO is the best bet.
i am studying correspondance and i have to do both subjects this semester for my finance degree. I have seen the textbooks and found business economics to be harder with more maths. These are both subjects for this semester only. Can you please tell me which one is harder? Also my cousin is doing business management and has two economics classes economics a- microeconomics and economics b - macroeconomics .how come she has two classes and i only have one economic class.
I have degrees in economics and finance and have taught the two subjects too on the college level. Now depending upon the individual school, things like the amount of math involved, difficulty level, analysis required, etc can vary. For examole, I can tell you that there is lots of math involved with the economics classes we offer. And we separate out micro and macro in to two different classes. I’ve taught at other places where we did it as one course.
In other words, economics is divided into two different areas: micro and macro. And some places do two separate classes with each focusing on just the one area of economics. Other places teach one class that covers a mix of the two. I’ve taught in both environments. And both can be equally difficult in terms of the amount of material that’s covered, how much math is involved, case studies, etc.
So it’s not a matter of which one is harder. For some students, both are hard. For others, macro is the harder. And for some, micro is the harder. So it varies from student-to-student. The only thing you need to focus on is whether or not you need to take just a general economics class, which generally is a mix of micro and macro so you get exposure to both areas of econ. Or if you need to actually take two separate classes, with one focusing on micro and the other concentrating on macro. Where I teach, students need to take both micro and macro.
It was used by Professor McGonagall in the first Harry Potter book and movie. Also in the Prisioner of Azkaban when Professor Lupin and Sirus Black untransfigured Peter Pettigrew from a rat back into a man. Please I need to know for my story. I’m just going to say what I want untransfigured: the Whomping Willow into a woman.
P.S. I know, I know that sounds insane, but that’s what I want.
The spell you’re referring to which returns things to their original form (including people who voluntarily become animagi) is called the Homorphus Charm, but the actual incantation is never actually said in the book series and has never been expressed anywhere by JK Rowling officially. If you want to use it you can simply refer to the character casting the Homorphus Charm, or use a basic online Latin translator to come up with a likely wording yourself.
BTW, both in and out of the light of some of the fanfiction I’ve read, no, that doesn’t sound insane at all : )
What does supply side economics or trickle down economics say a government should do to gt a country out of a recession besides just lower taxes across the board ?
Well you already grasped the first part of trickle down economics…cutting taxes but, remember, the main focus of this theory is to cut taxes for the richer portion of society. The concept is this will result in corporations (larger businesses) having increased revenue; therefore, they will increase production… there’s your ’supply side’ increase.
The problem with this that seems to repeat itself continously no matter how many times it has been tried, is larger corporations, when acquiring increased revenue, want to hang on to it. Why? Increased revenue = increased quarterly profits = increased stock value. Additionally, once you show a gain in profits, if this drops off the next quarter, the market sees this negatively and the stock goes down.
So, and many economists will tell you this: (I’ve read it repeatedly) in order to keep their profit percentage at the increased level due to reduced taxes, the corporations end up taking the money out of the country. This is done by investing overseas, building branches overseas or sometimes literally packing up and moving entirely overseas. You see, there is something not much of the public knows in this country about how our government actually gives corporations an incentive to leave the country: a US corporation moving out of the country does not have to pay any taxes until they become profitable again.
You see, it’s like a puzzle. Trickle down says cut taxes on the rich = increased revenue for larger corporations = increased stock price that will only hold temporarily = the corporation having to make creative adjustments to hold that new profit increase = moves portion of business out of country to acquire lower wage base = less overhead = maintains increased profit percentage.
The bottomline is, the money never tricles down our system. The idea, in theory, is that corporations will use the new monies saved from reduced taxes for increaing supply… which will require them to increase their labor force… but this never happens.
