Given the record amount of money spent on campaign advertising in 2008, is there a need for further campaign finance reform? This is a topic for my speech class, and I need opinions and why or why not there is a need.

Nate asked:


Currently I will be entering my junior year in the Business school at the University of Illinois majoring in Finance, my GPA is 3.7 and I am doing an internship with Smith Barney in Chicago as of now; however, I am becoming worried this line of work isn’t for me, simply because I am not necessarily passionate about doing financial reports over and over again for the rest of my life. On the other hand, I am very passionate and knowledgable with sports and have a feeling Sports Finance would be perfect for me. Wondering if anyone could fill me in on how realistic a job in this area would be….also, how I would go about finding such a job? I would greatly appreciate anyone’s opinion. Thanks.

I have $1,145 dollars on the card with an interest rate of 8.9%. What is the formula to calculate what my finance charge would be on that month? I am horrible at math, when I did it it came out to around $90 and if that is right then I will just take the money out of savings and pay it all off.

How do I finance college with a family to support?

I know there are options to help single moms, single dads, singles, military personel etc, but how do I finance college when I have a reasonable income but the expenses of a family to pay for (daycare, mortgage, health, transportation, education etc)

When I have tried in the past to get loans or scolarships it seems my income is the only thing that is taken into account which is modest at best. There simply isn’t much left over at the end of the month and that’s not including if I’ll make less because I’m in college.
There has to be a way that I’m just ignorant of and I would welcome any thoughts.

Blessings,
Maria
