Low utilization is no fault of our own these days. Perhaps once upon a time it was a sign of poor performance. But now it's because the firm isn't selling enough work. And we get penalized, even with high performance.

Hello, I am looking to make a career change that starts at a minimum 75K salary. The economy is tough right now and I can no longer afford to stay in my current role. I have a bachelors degree in Sociology with experience in managed care, utilization management, & clinical admin.. Does anyone have any suggestions for a possible higher paying career that I would be qualified for based on my background?

Iโ€™m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then Iโ€™ve worked at 2 different agencies and canโ€™t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. Iโ€™m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I donโ€™t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.Itโ€™s really taken a toll on my confidence

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because Iโ€™ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I havenโ€™t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
