I'll be earning my BA in Communications next year, and i'm curious about grad school. I don't have a desire currently to go to school for two more years directly after graduation. However, I have been considering toughing it out and taking a term or two, strictly to buff up a resume.

Anyone have any opinions? Will 15 grad credits actually make a difference, or is it worth the ink on the paper? I've been able to pay off my bachelors through a trust fund, but grad school would most likely require a loan :/

I'm traveling to Switzerland soon, and I'm curious if it's better to carry cash and exchange at a bank when I arrive, or pull it out in an ATM? Anyone have any experience with this?

I will be taking a trip to Switzerland soon, and I will also be spending time in Italy. My question is how can I get the most of my dollar? If I plan on exchanging $500, $300 to Franc and $200 to £, should I do it off the dollar? I was pondering exchanging it all to Francs (better than exchange rate) and then Franc to Euro. Any ideas?

Today I went and expedited my passport for renewal, paid for overnight shipping as well. My flight leaves on June 10 for Switzerland, and I'm quite worried it might not be here in time. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I know I should of done this in advance, I thought I could get away with it not expiring until Sept 30, but decided to play it safe, since I've heard you could be turned away at customs. Really don't want to miss this. The US state department says expedited passports should arrive within 3 weeks. (not sure if that includes those who overnight ship)

Thanks for your responses, any advice would be appreciated!

Does anyone have any insight in this

Ive dated a lot of American women, who never personally work out. They usually are too high maintenance, are only in it for my money, or a just plain bitchy. Im considering going to europe to find me a gal. I have a couple buddies who visited europe and brought women home, they seem to work better. Besides, more than likely if i marry they wont take half my possesions and my house. Right?

Opinions???

I need idea's for a speech im giving, any help is appreciated.

I want to believe he is, but i'm just not entirely sure. He looks nothing like aunt Jemima

By what standards of today would make someone a noble back then? Income?

So the condom broke, on the last day of her period. She took plan b not even an hour later. She has been on birth control, but stopped for her period. What are the odds of her being pregnant?

My girlfriend has been on birth control for a while. Her period was just over and started taking the pill again. A day later we had sex, the condom broke, so she took a plan b pill not even an hour later. Are our chances pretty good?

I'm 18. I was in a car accident and was given 90,000 for pain and suffering. My ankle was broke and a cadaver was put in. My mom wants 5k from it, and I don't know what to do.

This will affect me for the rest of my life, as it's expected to develop arthritis. It still hurts and will hurt. I'm going to college so I need this money. Opinions? I'm worried 5 will lead to 10, then other family etc

"live life like it's an art project"

ideas?

I want to buy the Rolex Air King as my first "Luxury" watch. Its pretty spendy, ive called around and prices in stores are $4800-5000. I noticed online was slightly cheaper. Should i buy from a reputable store, or would it be smarter to shop online?

Thanks in advance

Im just curious on everyones take for this matter. I know to some its a huge no because "We dont want to expose children to gambling". Personally, its ridiculous.

-Im 19

-i can vote

-i can serve

-i can drive

But i cant play a hand of blackjack. First off, im not a child. At 18, the state considers me and adult. I think at this age, the 18-20 crowd is smart enough to mange their wallet to the point of knowing when and when not to play. But, when you were irresponsible at 20, a day later when you turn 21, your definitely responsible enough, right?

The financial arguement is complete crap. If we couldnt afford to gamble, high piced lottery and other scratch it games would be outlawed until a later age. In a time where places like vegas are slumping, you think they would of put this for a vote.

Opinions?

I'm 18. I've been thinking about getting one for a while now, I'm catholic and I've always wanted a cross. My idea is the word "believe" across my bicep with a cross underneath it.

Also, is 18 old enough? I don't want to grow and ruin it. Thanks in advance

Im gonna take a trip to vegas soon, and i already have a hotel picked out. I would appreciate airfaire help and such, but do they really help you save money? and do they take my preferences such as the hotel i would like to stay? And can hook up package deals?

Im talking like once every 3 weeks. Me and the buddies usually have poker games once or twice a month, and its pretty common for us all to light up and relax. I'll probably smoke 1-4 swishers a month. But then ill look at my other friends, who are regular pack every 2 days guys, and kinda brush it off. Is it really that bad, and could it in the slightest affect me later on? Were all in college, so eventually we'll grow up and stop the tradition

Im looking into visiting vegas soon, and the hotel i was looking at said checkin must be 21. Are there any hotels that can rent me a room, or would just having a valid credit card get me in?

These used to be really popular in the mid 20th century. Can i still buy a pack in convenient stores, 7-11, plaid pantry, etc?
