Berks County Businesses Rally for Struggling Food Banks

Competing businesses are banding together for a shared cause. And so far, their mission is a success.

New Brunswick rising

As Alberta has found with its 10% personal tax rate, many businesses located high-skilled workers to the province to take advantage of the favourable tax regime.

The corporate tax reforms are equally exciting. The best part is the reduction of the existing 13% general rate to the small business rate of 5%, with some phasing-out of targeted tax credits. Not only will this boost investment (New Brunswick will have the lowest corporate income tax rate in Canada), it will also reduce the tax penalty on successful businesses which become larger. The other, less exciting, options include 7% and 10% corporate rates, with the latter bringing the province in line with others rather than creating a significant advantage.

With the right reforms, New Brunswick could become a provincial tax haven for many businesses wishing to shift their high tax income out of provinces like Ontario and Nova Scotia. more

4 years after Hurricane Charley, Fla. residents fight insurer

The homeowners say they can't repair their homes properly because their insurance company, United Casualty Insurance Company of America, didn't reimburse them adequately after the storm. Forty-eight have sued, seeking higher payments to fix their homes before another storm strikes.

Most are poor, black longtime residents who maintained policies for between $20,000 and $50,000 to protect their dwellings and possessions. Some said they paid premiums for decades, but received checks after Charley that were significantly lower, ranging from about $3,500 to about $10,000.

United denies wrongdoing and said it is cooperating with court-ordered appraisals of the properties. "We paid what we thought was a fair amount," said John Camillo, United's vice president. He said if the appraisals determine United owes more money, "we'll pay it."

Deborah Wiley hopes so. more

Resolved Question: Moving to live in Greece?

I want to know your opinions and suggestions on moving to live in Greece. I know that currently there is a financial crisis and things are not looking too great in Greece, in terms of unemployment and interest rates etc. However, my partner and I have been planning to move to live in Greece for a while. We are hopeful that things will change for the better, and are planning to make our move in the next 3 to 5 years. We are both 25 and currently live in Toronto, Canada (he is a Greek-Canadian). He is an electrician with about 3 years of professional experience with a big electrical company in Toronto.

I speak French, Spanish, Bulgarian, English and some Greek (currently taking greek courses). We both have family members in Athens, and visit Greece once every year. I would like to get your suggestions on how smoothly do you think we can transition to live in Athens, and how challenging will it be to find employment in our related fields. Thank you! more

Voting Question: Is a masters better than a bachelors?

I have done a Bachelor of Arts in Languages. Now that im finished I feel super under-qualified, and wanted to add something that would make me more employable. I had initially thought id just do a Bachelor of Commerce even though its not so interesting- just because this is where the jobs are at. But as I am ultimately interested in a job with International Affairs/International business (so that I can utilise my languages) someone suggested that maybe I do a Masters of International Relations instead- quicker and apparently a higher level of education... What should I do?!!!!!!!!! more

Resolved Question: Is a master's in international relations/mass communication worth taking out 50 K in loans to pursue?

I graduated from college about a year ago now (Spring 2009), and I haven't had any luck landing jobs. I had a BA in communications with a minor in international business. I had a good GPA, did two internships, studied abroad, and held a variety of leadership roles for my university. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck landing a professional entry level job. I've been accepted into a few graduate schools concentrating in mass communication and international relations. I definately want to pursue graduate school, and I think a master's degree will open up some more opportunities. However I don't want to waste 2 more years, and take out more loans to be in the same boat, but I just don't see any other options. Should I go for it and take out the loans to do it?? more

Resolved Question: What job should I do?

Since graduating in 2005 I have spent time travelling and working in various jobs (please see my CV attached). I have a lot of ideas about things I want to do and achieve, but have been reluctant to follow a particular path fully for fear of closing off others. As a result I haven't progressed in jobs, rather remained static and moved around different organisations on a similar level. I'm not 'career driven' in the typical sense, so career progression for me is less about working my way into a senior position, and more about realising my potential, experiencing new things, learning and contributing to society. The following things are important to me in a job: Variety - this is really important. I don't want to remain static in a job, and I really dislike routine. I like experiencing new things; achieving something and then moving onto the next. This is the main reason that I've not fulfilled my ambitions since graduation, even though I've had options to progress higher in almost every job I've had. I feel like committing to a path will cut off others. And geographical variety is important too, not just variety of the work I'm doing. I don't like being sat in front of a computer all day doing repetitive tasks. I really enjoy travel, seeing new places, learning about different cultures, meeting new people. Working abroad or being in a job that involves international travel would be good. Altruism - I don't see a job as a means to money alone. I need money to live (obviously) and I do want to be more than comfortable financially, but I want to feel like I've achieved something positive with my day - not just making money for people. I enjoy working with people and helping individuals, but I’m not sure if that type of career (e.g. social work) would meet my needs. I imagine that, again, I’d feel tied down to one path, to a specific ‘career’. I feel like I may be happier achieving things on a bigger scale, that help lots of people. Public sector or charity work appeals to me more than the private sector for this reason. However, I get very frustrated by bureaucracy and I'm attracted by the freedom and potential to achieve that the private sector offers. Creativity – I feel like a creative job would stimulate me far more than the opposite (though I am quite an analytical person). I like writing, and I have a lot of ideas. People – Ironically the jobs that I’ve enjoyed most have been the worst match to my ambitions. E.g. a call centre in Australia and admin work at Greene King. This is because the people I’ve worked with quickly became friends, and the working environment was very social. Here are some of the jobs/career paths I’m considering: Journalism – magazine journalism, BBC etc International development/politics – working for an MP, civil service Charity work (e.g. lobbyist, researching) – Oxfam, Amnesty International etc Post graduate study (e.g. MA in Politics) Research (e.g. doctorate) Teaching English as a foreign language International work (e.g. UN, disaster recovery) Volunteering overseas (e.g. VSO – teaching, community development projects) Writer (books, plays, poetry etc), travel writer, columnist Business analysis (my degree was in Information Systems. I don’t really enjoy this type of work and so haven’t pursued it) Working with young or disadvantaged children (e.g. duke of Edinburgh style outdoor trips) Starting a business There are aspects of most of these professions that appeal to me, and some of them I definitely want to achieve at some point (i.e. starting a business, writing, studying a masters, volunteering abroad). However, there’s not really one career path that stands out above the rest, and I’m not sure what the best direction to go in is at this point in my career. Can you recommend any career paths/jobs that would suit my aspirations? Do you have any advice about how to resolve my fears about not pursuing potentially interesting paths? Can you advise me on the most logical/best career move at this stage, which would allow me to gain a wide breadth of experience and then to specialise or move into different areas in the future? I think it’s important that I don’t waste time in jobs that don’t contribute anything to my goals/CV: is there a logical job type that would allow me to build up useful experience while I’m working out what to do longer-term, and that might help me decide this? Perhaps TEFL? more

Resolved Question: Do you think it's good to have a Masters in business?

I was originally thinking of doing an MBA, but these degrees seem incredibly expensive and very time consuming as well. So I was thinking of doing a Master in International Business instead. Not cheap either, but a little cheaper at least. Do you think it's worth it to do a Master in business or employers won't really care about it? I mean, do you think it will help me in the long run? more

Resolved Question: Do you think a MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS is a good degree to get?

Do you think it's worth it or not? I saw that they offer these degrees in Australia, but I would like to use it for the States. Please advice me what I should do. Thanks more

Resolved Question: With which major i have a better chance of finding a job after graduating from grad school?

Hello , I am about to get into grad school , the thing is that i am not sure with which major it'd be easier to find jobs after graduating. I am an international student and i am looking to work in the US and later moving back to Europe. I have to choose between any of these three majors and i'm extremely confused : International Master of Business Administration ; Master of Public Policy and Management; or Master of education in Counseling and Guidance. I was a Political Science major in undergrad and it has been extremely hard to find a job in that area especially since as an international student i can't work for government organizations. I would deeply appreciate your opinions. more

Voting Question: Expensive dream school or affordable state school?

My dream school has been DePaul University in Chicago all through high school. I've been accepted and everything is great BUT the only problem is the overall cost: around $40,000. I've also been accepted into Illinois State University which is basically half the price of DePaul. And I'm in the running for a $20,000 scholarship to ISU. If I choose to go to DePaul, I will have to get a student loan. My parents keep encouraging me to go to ISU because all my siblings came out of college without debt plus they think something terrible will happen to me if I go to school in Chicago. But I know where I want to be and it's not at ISU. And, something terrible could happen at ISU too. My major is still up in the air between international business, a foreign language, public relations, or achieving a masters in criminal psychology. Would going into debt be worth it?Thank you all! College decisions are very stressful. And no, I don't trust a bunch of people on the internet to make this decision. But any sort of feedback on this is useful :) more

Voting Question: HES or duke university for master in liberal studies? i want to use the degree to eventually do my JD/MBA?

I'm a mom to 2 babies, and I graduated from an international medical school. However, I was looking for career change as i grew dissatisfied with practicing medicine, and wanted to work more on a societal level and make more impact to improve both the educational and healthcare systems, something i couldn't do by only practicing medicine. However, i want to attend a reputable university to be able to work with top firms, and i got nothing to show except my medical degree, to be able to gain admission at such schools. I live in North Carolina, and i thought doing a masters in liberal studies first would give me a good head start. It's fairly easy to get into, and good for me explore different fields and discover what i really want to do. It's also good on class times, which will be during evenings. That way i could still take care of my kids, and by the time i finish the degree, they'll be older, so i could go ahead and apply for the more rigorous degrees of law and business or government and business. What would be a better, worthy degree to pursue and would help me get in those top programs? Harvard Extension School or Duke Graduate School, both in liberal studies? I would love it if someone with experience advises me. Please help! more

Resolved Question: Should I take an entry level job at an advertising firm or pursue a master's in college student affairs?

I graduated from college in May 2009 with a bachelor's degree in business marketing with a minor in international relations. While in college I was in a sorority and had the opportunity to work in the admissions office. I was involved in a lot of student activities, studied abroad, and did a few internships. I haven't had any luck landing jobs in my field. I moved back in with my parents and have been working in retail until something comes up. I was recently accepted into graduate school for a master's degree in college student affairs, but I also interviewed for a full-time entry level job at a global advertising firm. I am very unsure of what direction to take, and just wanted to get some input about each direction. I definately enjoyed the college experience, and I think it would be neat to work at a college, but it is all I've known. I like learning, and the college environment. Part of me thinks that I might just be attracted to it because it's all I've known. However advertising/marketing is what I went to school for, but since I haven't worked in it, I'm not sure direction I can take with it. There's a lot that I want to do in my life, but I'm not sure what my end goal is. I feel like I'll figure out what my "dream" is as I go, but I need to start somewhere. I'm also unsure if it would be unwise to turn down a full-time to pursue grad school. I know I'd like to get a master's degree someday for sure and work on the international level but just not sure what direction. Suggestions? more

Resolved Question: What exactly is a business school?

I always thought it's for postgrad students that want to do an MBA or some business relevant masters. That's what I thought. But now I'm a bit confused. For instance.

Resolved Question: What is the best opportunity: College Admissions, Global PR/Marketing, Grad School-don't want to burn bridges?

I graduated in the spring of 2009 with a bachelor's degree in public relations and minor in international relations. While attending college I was able to work in the admissions office, which is also a form of public relations. However my coursework concentrated on pr/business. I would definately like to get a master's degree quickly, especially since I have the drive at this age to do it. I have been interviewing for quite a few jobs both in higher education and with an international pr agency. Working in admissions, I could get a master's for free from the college I work at, and at the agency, they would pay for you the master's degree. However, I already submitted 8 graduate school applications (both for a master's in international communications, and college student affairs), so I am wondering what happens if I get a full ride there. So much to think about.. What is the best job opportunity?? College admissions, a global pr firm, or going straight for a master's?? My problem is I'm not sure what I want to do exactly. I think it'd be fun to work at a college, but I also think I'd enjoy working in international public relations. I know that I want to work on the global level, but working at a college I could grow into international admissions or study abroad. Global PR there is a ton of growth in that too. I know as an end goal I'd like to be a professor of cross cultural relations. More than anything though, I just want to get out of the state that I live in. Most of the opportunities that I've been offered are in the state... Suggestions? What is the best route to take with this economy? more

Voting Question: What opportunity is better: working in college admissions, pr agency, or going to grad school?

Resolved Question: I have a job offer, but I've already submitted 8 grad applications. Should I take the job or go to grad school?

I graduated this past spring (May 2009), with a bachelor's degree in public relations and minor in international relations. I have an interview for a full-time job with a huge public relations agency, with a lot of growth opportunity. It'd be an entry-level job, but it would expose me to working with several global agencies and businesses. However, I have already submitted about 8 graduate school applications for a master's degree in international communications. None of them are near the agency at all geographically. I know that I want to work on the international level. I already took the time/money to apply to schools so if I end up getting in and getting an assistantship, it is going to be really tempting. However, I feel like this opportunity is good, and since it's entry level there's a chance that I could relocate somewhere after a few years. Therefore, I don't want to try and work on a graduate degree while there until I know I would be staying in that location for a while. What should I do? Do I take the job, and if I get into grad school, quit? Do I just turn down a job offer in hopes of getting an assistantship into grad school? Do I take the job and put grad school on the backburner? I'm just concerned if I do that, I won't have the drive to go back.. Suggestions? more

I have an interview for a full-time job with a huge public relations agency, with a lot of growth opportunity. It'd be an entry-level job, but it would expose me to working with several global agencies and businesses. However, I have already submitted about 8 graduate school applications for a master's degree in international communications. I know that I want to work on the international level. I already took the time/money to apply to schools so if I end up getting in and getting an assistantship, it is going to be really tempting. However, I feel like this opportunity is good, and since it's entry level there's a chance that I could relocate somewhere after a few years. Therefore, I don't want to try and work on a graduate degree while there until I know I would be staying in that location for a while. What should I do? Do I take the job, and if I get into grad school, quit? Do I just turn down a job offer in hopes of getting an assistantship into grad school? Do I take the job and put grad school on the backburner? I'm just concerned if I do that, I won't have the drive to go back.. Suggestions? more

Voting Question: What is my chance of getting a U.S Study Visa (F-1)?

I am an International Graduate of Business, with a major in Marketing. I currently reside outside United States. I intend learning more about Digital Business. I do not need certifications alone. I need the degree. Currently, Digital Business is not in the curriculum of the Marketing Department or Business Administration Department of the Graduate school I wish to attend. I can only take Digital Business, as a concentration area in the department of Management Information system. With my business degree, and a major in Marketing, I applied to study management information system at a graduate school. My wish remains to concentrate on digital business. I was accepted, and now I have my I-20. I told my friends that I have been accepted into a graduate school in the U.S, and I am preparing to apply for my student Visa. They told me that since I major in Marketing, and I intend going for a Masters Degree in Management Information system (which they consideras IT related), that I would be denied the Visa. Most of them are saying thesame thing, and I have been worried ever since. The school knows my career plans, and that was why I was accepted. I am interested in the digital business aspect of the program, and not just strictly the IT degree alone. Please I need your response. Is it true that I could be denied the visa, because I majored in marketing, and now want to study Management information to specialise in digital business? Please I need quick response. Thank you. more

Resolved Question: What federal government jobs(in terms of grade level) could I get based on my qualifications ?

I am 27 and have a Bachelors of Science in Business Management (2005). After graduation I worked in the medical/research field administratively from 2005 till 2008. Then I returned in 2008 to do a Masters of Arts in Government & International relations. In 2008 I did two separate internships, one for a New York City agency and then later the United Nations. In summer 2009, I did an internship for a U.S. Embassy (commercial attachment) in an Eastern European country for over a month. Neither the UN or U.S. hire directly from their internships just in case some of you may wonder why I wasn't recruited immediately after the internship was over. In May 2010 I will graduate with my Masters of Arts and I will also get a Certificate of Diplomacy. I am interested in policy analysis in DHS, State Dept, DIA, or even working full time overseas in Europe. There are so many grade levels, for example Grade 7, 9, 11, etc. What grade or positions should I aim for ? I sent my application and have not heard from anything or I get ambiguouss rejections from the agencies after weeks or even months they were sent. Sometime they say something like "you qualified but did not rank high enough." If someone can give me advise, please tell me, cause I really want to work(at a job that is realistic to my level) even though I feel we're in a recession, no matter what anyone is saying. more

Is it worth to add another minor such as Economics, Business Administration, History, Communications, English, Philosophy, Women, African American or Native American Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, or Sociology? Or just take a whole bunch of electives in all these areas instead of just trying to put a minor in my degree. Perhaps like Philosophy?
