Business Home New Opportunity Work York

I am about to finish my last semester of college and really want to make a huge life change once I'm done. I am an art major (with a dual concentration in business) so I want to move to a city where there will be a lot of opportunities. I'm having a hard time deciding what city might be best for me so I was hoping to get some advice from others who have been in a similar situation...

I visited Seattle once and absolutely fell in love with it, however it is pretty far from home so I'm a little afraid of not having anything to fall back on if things don't work out.
New York- obviously a lot of opportunities but is it worth the high cost?
Boston- Close to home, good size, but not quite as many opportunities as the other two

Another thing to keep in mind is that I absolutely refuse to drive so I need to live somewhere with a good public transportation system.

I appreciate any help!

All three are excellent choices
I would start by putting out resumes in a three cities ,and move to whichever gives you the best job

New York State Small Business Development Center The New York State Small Business Development center provides high quality ... and training to ...

And also what do you think is good for me?

My Pros and Cons:

CONS:
New York
-cold weather
-traffic
-some of the rudest people ive met/seen in my life live there
-might not have good enough education system [personally idk, but i heard it was not great]

Florida
-hurricanes
-criminal rate

PROS:
New York
-GREAT job opportunities for the fashion business
-wonderful food
-never goes to sleep/gets boring

Florida
-LOTS of warm/hot weather that i love <3333
-heard it has good education
-really nice homes
-i <333 the beaches
-great shopping

I really want to work in the fashion/modeling business, but i see that most opportunities are in New York. I dont really like the north because of the weather...im more of a southern girl.
Florida is great and all, i love everything about it except for hurricanes....but i decided that if i was going to live in Florida that i would live in nothern Florida, or somewhere in the middle, close to Orlando, where it doesnt get much affected by hurricanes.

I really, really, really like the life people live in New York, from day to night. But no beautiful beaches like there are in Florida, and i HAVE to go to beach every year....i just love the water.

Now the reason im asking this because i need help on where i should go after college. These are my two state choices. As for the cities, of course it has to be NYC or Manhattan, and as for Florida it would be Orlando, somewhere in that area.

So what do you all think???

I've lived in FL my whole life and the first reason that northerners give for not wanting to live here is hurricanes. The reality is that we typically go several years in a row without any real hurricanes and *bad* hurricane seasons only occur once every 10 - 20 years. We know several days and sometimes weeks in advance when the hurricanes are coming and businesses in the state are organized in a way that allows them to distribute ample food and protection related supplies in time to hunker down before the storm.

As a Floridian I'm much more scared of northern cold weather related storms (blizzards and being snowed in). We know in advance when hurricanes are coming and the storms usually only last a few hours before they move on.

So don't let the hurricanes sway your decision. The only downside about your logic is Orlando is no where near the beach, its at least a 2 hour drive. But there's also the cities of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Jacksonville you can consider and they are all directly on the water.

It is a scam spam. There are so many things wrong with it.
The horrible grammar.
The obvious criminal intent of an business that is not legitimate, and stupid enough to put it in type for all the world to see!
No legitimate business would deal with freight this way.
No legitimate business would deal with a third party for customer packages, and payments like that.
No legitimate business would allow you to dictate the way you receive your salary.
Hmmm, shall I go on???

I would run as an independent with my own party.Tell me if you are republican, democrat, or independent?These are just some of my ideas…I am 16 years old but I want to pursue a career in politics.

I want to create opportunities for small businesses with a new program that I would call “The Small Business Bond Program” where I would allow average citizens to lend money to the government which would then be lent to small businesses and entrepreneurs. In return citizens will receive their money back with interest. This is a two way investment. It betters the state’s economy and allows the lender to make a secure investment.
I would set a flat property tax of 4% on all homes with a value of $2 million or less and a tax of 6% on houses whose value equals more than $2 million. For international companies (including companies that had previously left the US) that come to my state I would set their property tax to 0.3% of their total annual earnings. When it comes to sales tax I would create a sales tax holiday lasting the whole month of December where no sales tax is paid.
This applies to taxes and education so I am placing it in between. I would create a program where students who graduate college/apprenticeship for example between (2009-2013) can receive a $1500 bonus after they graduate.
On education I would focus on laws to strengthen school attendance. I would also make sure that all public school teachers go through state tests every four years to test their knowledge in their respective field. I also want an increase of $2000 for all teachers, firefighters, police, etc. I would make a program to work with a private internet service provider to make sure that all schools in New York have access to the internet. I would make sure that every student has access to textbooks. I am also a believer in vouchers for students wishing to attend alternative schools. There also needs to be legislation over cell phones in school. In my studies I have noticed that it plays a huge part in distracting students from school work. Parents must also take the initiative and make sure their children can receive the help they need (this means shutting of the video games). I also want local workshops paid by the government where students can go to and get tutoring free of charge by college students in certain fields(mathematics,literature). This could count as work study for college students while at the same time prepping elementary and high school kids.

When it comes to social issues I believe in civil unions for consenting adults but hold the belief that marriage is a religious ceremony. On abortion I think that the number of abortions should be lowered as I disagree with it. I would do that by creating programs to aid mothers morally and financially during their birth and 1 year later, during which they must find a job or prove that they are attending school of some type. I also support legislation where hospitals and clinics must educate the mother about the abortion process and its side-effects before practicing it through visual demonstrations, etc.

No, sorry, I wouldn't vote for you. You didn't touch on matters that are important to me, and you are making too many promises that you likely wouldn't be able to keep. Also, when you said "decrease the numbers of abortions," you didn't outline a plan.

You sound like you would have a very difficult time keeping church and state separate - I wouldn't vote for anyone who would impose their religious beliefs on others, or let those beliefs influence their decision-making process.

I wanted to hear: "Respect for the Consitution as the ultimate authority and deciding factor when considering legislation."

"Legalize drugs (at least cannabis) and cripple the black market and drug dealers in so doing."

"Repeal asset forfeiture laws, and demilitarize the police."

"Privatization, decrease the size and scope of government."

"Free market."

I vote Libertarian, most of the time.

Don't worry, I think you would appeal to many Republicans or other right-wing types. I take issue with your lack of plans - I want to see exactly HOW you plan on doing these things. Then again, I'm in that two percent who actually follow politics very closely, and demand action, not words. Most people will vote for you if they like what you say. They won't care whether or not you'll actually follow through. Therefore, you'd have a decent shot of geting elected. You sound pretty intelligent for your age. Plenty of time to narrow your focus and strengthen your platform.

Ok. I own a little WWE stock and was just checking my account, and this release just came out. I'm curious of a few things and wonder if anybody here can shed some light:

-I don't notice a statement of who he's replacing. Generally a release like this says that someone's stepped down or whatever and so-and-so is being promoted. Do you find this unusual?

-If this guy's going to oversee *International*, why are they moving him back to Stamford, CT? lol

-I don't know much about what goes on outside of the US w/WWE except that the wrestlers do travel there somewhat routinely and do put shows on. Do you think having a new head of this division will get more European talent into the ranks? What changes do you foresee, if any, or is this just a boardroom thing?

WWE International is the part of the company that promotes scouting and marketing in the international markets. Executive Officers usually just head out the divisions and relay the ideas from the head board to the workers in that division.

My guess is that there won't be that huge of a change, really. Don't look into company dealings as backstage dealings.
