What type of visa do you have? It depends on whether or not you are allowed to work

Yup, should be good to work on campus with an F1 visa iirc

Have you thought about offering tutoring? I think there would be no problem with this

From what I remember in college, there were a lot of intl students working at the school library, dining halls, and as TAs so I'm pretty confident it's possible

Yeah, I was an international student and I got to work at my uni's rec center.

I actually got to work at the college's language lab as a German language tutor. Not sure what department you'd have to ask in to find opportunities at your uni but they should be there

Should be, most colleges offer some type of opportunity for students to take on jobs on campus

For background checks... who do you guys use and would you be willing to share monthly membership fee/cost per check? I currently use HireRight and have been happy overall... but I don't feel that it's very competitive at $48/check. Thanks in advance!

Thinking of starting and Only Fans account for extra side money. Don’t know what it would be yet though. Sounds wild but my salary barely covers the cost of living and I’ve been living with school debt. Anyone have one on the side? Serious answers only please!

In your opinion which is the best target fund to choose in IRA Roth?

Hey 🐠,

I am approaching the Roth IRA income limit, and have a pre-existing Roth IRA that was not converted from a traditional account. Is there a way for me to take advantage of the backdoor Roth loophole while funneling the money into my current Roth? Or, do I have to set up a new account, convert it to Roth, and make all future contributions into that account? I’ve already asked my broker, and they have not been the least bit helpful. Thanks!

Bought some litecoins on Coinbase - how long does it take for transaction to go through and owning the coins?

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?
