Getting a job at 15 years old?

I am 15 and need to start making at LEAST $160 dollars per month. Please nobody say “wash cars” or “mow lawns”. I need a real job with a real paycheck. Does anyone know of what places hire at the age of 15? Like RiteAid or a supermarket? Thanks.


TFF gone, but these films not forgotten

TFF gone, but these films not forgotten
The Tribeca Film Festival may no longer be happening – but these films, which our reviewers approve of, will hopefully have a well-deserved theatrical run in 2011; or become available as Movies on Demand; or go direct to DVD. No matter what type of screen you find them on, they’re all worth looking for – and watching.

Buying A Car - This Is Scary?

Everyone has read stories about the mortgage crisis but it is minute in comparison to the corruption and unscrupulous actions that take place daily in every car dealership. I previously worked as a car salesman for over 10 years.

I would venture to say that 95% of car buyers are getting ripped-off for thousands of dollars. It is not uncommon for a dealership to net a profit as much as $15 THOUSAND dollars on a single car deal.

I am seriously thinking about writing an ebook to help consumers avoid being their next victim. I’ve done some research on the net and have found a few people that have done this. Although their sales page reads like a cheap tabloid you would see in a supermarket. I suspect their motives are no better than the car dealerships.

I could write a book of horror stories on the car industry longer then War & Peace. But, I simply want to arm consumers with knowledge. Consumers do need to know how dealerships pull off their scams in order to know what to look
Sounds like you are a car salesman.
Dealerships typically make 5-10% profit, most of the time lower thanks to the web.

Jay, wake up! you are the naive type of person dealerships make money on.

I’ve seen people on a daily basis that are anywhere from 5K to 20K upside down in their trade in. How do you think this happened?

It’s a vicious cycle, they were upside down in their previous trade, 3-6K dealer profit in used car, inflated finance charges, inflated service contracts. Wake up, it happens every day. Has nothing to do with me being a horrible car salesman.


Is Petrol from a BP garage of better quality than that from a supermarket garage like Tesco or Morrisons etc?

A friend of mine has recently bought a new car and says that she is only going to buy BP petrol from now on because she thinks the “cheaper” petrol from supermarket petrol stations is of an inferior quality and will eventually clog up the engine of the new car? Any Mechanics or Petrol experts out there please let me know if this is correct?

Britain's food decade

Britain’s food decade
On the 10th anniversary of Observer Food Monthly, we look back at a decade of changing views about food At the end of 1998, the Observer published one of those features that make newspapers a hostage to fortune. It predicted the unknowns who would be making headlines in the next decade. One name was picked out in each of 10 fields of the arts; looking back, the only second sight in evidence was …
