  • How To Calculate Major GPA?

    I'm an accounting major and want to figure out how to calculate my major GPA. I already know my cumulative GPA which includes all classes I've ever taken even those unrelated to my major. But what classes do I include when calculating my major GPA?

    Do I include all Accounting classes only or all Accounting and Business classes I've taken?

  • Employer Refuses To Pay?

    My Wife's employer put her on Salary of $250 a week and she works about 60 hours a week to get that. She's been working there for about 6 months.

    However her appendix burst and she was in the hospital for a week. Then the next week she went back to work on Thursday, worked both Thursday and Friday.

    She went in to get her check and they told her, not only will she not get paid for the week her appendix exploded, but she will also not get paid for the week that she only worked 2 days because she did not work a full week.

    I was wondering what are the legal aspects we can go after to get the money from them? Anything else we can do?

  • Question About Maintaining a CPA and If It Is Worth It?

    I am a current accounting student looking at the different alternatives I can go towards, CPA, CMA, etc.

    I've been researching it and it looks as though in order to keep your CPA certificate you need to take 40 hours of education credits each year. This confuses me a little because in college 40 hours of credits costs about $10,000. Is that really how it works? Does it really cost $10,000 + renewal fees to maintain a CPA? If it is that means you have to earn $11,000+ more than a noncpa to pay for itself and probably $20,000+ more then a noncpa to make it worth all the extra effort.

    But it doesn't seem like there is that big of a difference, so I must be off. How much does it really cost to do the 40 hours of credits each year, do any sort of renewal, and is it worth it? I'm sorry if it is a stupid question, but I'm still learning.

  • Does Getting A Local Number Help With The Job Market?

    I've currently lived in Missouri for going on three years now, I moved out here from California. I don't like to change my phone number because that is how most people get a hold of me. Now I'm getting ready to graduate from college and am sending my resume out.

    Do you think the californian number with the (909) area code as opposed to the (417) area code will hurt my chances at a job? I didn't think it would, but my mom seems to think I should get a local number so people know I'm in the area. (Even though I'm going to school in this area)

    What are your thoughts? Does a out of area phone number hurt your chances at landing a good job?

  • Windows 8 Won't Let Me Log In?

    I've had my windows 8 sony touchscreen laptop for a few months now. Normally when I turn the computer on it has a cover page. When I push a button it takes me to a green page with a login button and spot for a password in the middle.

    That is what is supposed to happen. Now, however, when I turn my computer on it still comes up to the cover page. But when I push a key it just goes to a blank green page without a spot to enter my password. I've tried turning it on and off, but it wont work. I've also tried just typing the password anyways, but that doesn't work either.

    Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

    Thank You

  • Deleting The Open Web Analytics To Lower MySQL?

    I have been using OWA to track the traffic to my blog. Recently I got an email from my webhost saying that my MySQL is too high because of a program owa_domstream. When I checked it was from the OWA setting. I deactivated OWA and tried to delete it but whenever I hit delete my computer said "webpage cannot be found" I tried deleting other plugins I was not using and that worked. So I clicked edit and deleted everything. I emailed my webhost to see if the problem was fixed, but they told me that owa_domstream was still growing. Please help! How can I delete owa_domstream from my site so that my account won't be deactivated!

  • Healthy And Cheap Foods?

    I live by myself and I have a high metabolism. I tend to eat about 3000 calories a day to maintain my bodyweight and I'm a little underweight right now. I don't want to eat just a bunch of junk food, I actually want to eat healthy, (non processed, etc) but I also don't want to spend $400+ for just me every month for health foods.

  • What Is The Best Way To Build Abs If Your Super Skinny?

    I'm trying to build abs and am very skinny. My height is 6 foot 4 inches and I weight 165. So, I'm a little underweight, but not much.

    I hear that we already have abs, the fat is just blocking them from appearing. That means all I have to do is exercise and lose fat than? But I am already skinny enough that you can see my bones, so IDK if I have fat to spare, lol.

    I guess all I have to do is exercise and eat a lot of protein to make up for the weight I lose. What would you say is the best way to get abs in this situation?

  • How To Stop My Dog From Being a Wuss?

    My dog is an American Escamo and for some reason he is as scared as they come. He has met a lot of other dogs and other people in his life but he is always scared to meet new ones. He is 3 and it took him a year of me having people over constantly to get him to stop hiding in my room and start coming out and seeing everyone. Now we got a new puppy who is half his size and he is scared to death to go near it. So much so that this puppy pretty much walks all over my dog while my dog sits and cowards on the side.

    I don't want my dog to turn vicious, but I'd like for him to stop hiding in the corner from things that are half his size. I want him to socialize more, but he's always been in the company of other people and other dogs so Idk how to get him used to it if he isn't already.

  • What Happened To The Roman Army?

    It seems like the Roman Empire's fall all started when their army weakened. During their later days the army was only a shadow of its former self and to combat that the Roman Empire hired barbarians to help defend itself. Eventually they just gave up their empire piece by piece until the barbarians just destroyed the empire itself. My question is, why did the Roman Empire army get so weak to began with, that they needed to do this? What made them a "shadow of their former self?"

  • Has Any Country Ever Actually Gone Bankrupt Before?

    I've been hearing all this talk about how the U.S. and Europe are going to go bankrupt and it is all going to be over. So, I am wondering, has it ever actually happened before?

    I'm not talking about just spending more then they make because that is a road to bankruptcy and not bankruptcy itself. I'm talking about actually going bankrupt where.

    1. The stock market crashes

    2. All goverment programs like Medicare, Social Security, etc completely stop

    3. Millitary spending stops

    4. People riot in the streets and chaos breaks out

    Has it ever happened before?
