How much do you enjoy chaos? It's very possible. My sister did it, though I'm not fully convinced she's human. Personally, I would have to go down to part-time work, or else I would have 0 left for my personal life. I'd burn out before I graduated.

If you can afford it, go for it. Many colleges take current credits and piggyback them toward the new degree. In today's market, however, you have to balance if the additional degree will be for pride only or whether it will improve your marketability if that's why you want to go back to school. Don't overlook University of Phoenix or online colleges where you can incorporate home study on your time and offer you the time you need to complete your studies!

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
