  • Is this a case of Discrimintation on the basis of National Origin?

    I am currently employed but looking for a job. Was applying online and got a call for a phone interview after two days I was extended the offer for the position which I accepted and filled out the required paper work and consent for the background check. I also gave a notice to my current employer that I will be leaving within two weeks

    Now the employer which extended me the offer says that they ran the background check on me and every thing is clear but they are waiting on the background check from the country I came in from when I know that there is no such system there that you can run a background check on some one until and unless s/he has a million dollar reward on them and I definitely do not have any bad history on my background which was the only reason the US authorities let me into USA. I have been put on hold and am told to wait.

    I have been here in the USA for 2 years now and was definitely checked by the US authorities before I was granted entry into the US. My status here is resident alien which means I will be lucky enough to vote by the year 2012

    Although I do not plan on the hassle of all that but just for my info can this be a case of discrimination on the basis of national origin since I was offered the position which I accepted and am not being hired because of this reason

  • Financial Aid and Employer Tution Reimbursement?

    I get financial aid and I also have a program at work from which I can get reimbursed for my tuition expenses. My financial aid is enough to cover my education expenses but planning ahead is it OK if I take the tuition reimbursement from my employer too and save it for my University because I know they are expensive.

    What would be the tax situation for this would I have to show this in my tax return if yes what would I show this as income?

  • What is you advice Accounting or HVAC ?

    My age is 23 and I am a student of Accounting as my major and HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) as my minor in which you learn how to fix Air Conditioners and Air Conditioners I know it does not makes sense because Accounting and HVAC does not has any combination but my thought behind doing HVAC was NO.1 - It can not be outsourced and it is necessary no matter how the economy is doing NO.2 - It would require less capital if I want to start my own HVAC Business and it is less likely to make a loss in this business thats what my understanding is.

    Recently I got a chance to see the average pay for both Accountants and HVAC Technician which came up as close to $15 to $27 for Accountants and $15 to $25 for HVAC.

    Now I am confused which one to give more priority and what to do Accounting or HVAC ?

    Thanks in Advance
