It is very, very difficult to get unemployment when you quit. Someone who had reported sexual harassment or illegal discrimination and nothing was done, or one who was not being paid, MIGHT get unemployment if they quit. About the only set of circumstances I can think of, given your fact...

You will never get better advice from a message board as the advice you got from a poster named "commentator" on the other board where you posted this question. Please, listen to commentator.

The rules of the message board do not allow referrals, and reputable attorneys do not troll message boards looking for clients. Call your state Bar Association, your local Legal Aide or any law schools in your area for referrals.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have a good day.

And, as I asked in at least one of your other threads, what is your legal question for the board?

You cannot get representation from a message board, if that is your intent in posting.

And your legal question for the board is...?

And when you contacted a medical malpractice attorney, or two, or three, and described your situation, what did they say?

I'm not in favor of cancelling repayment of the loan itself, and neither is anyone else I know, no matter how far left. And certainly reasonable interest is to be expected. What I object to is interest compounded in such a way that the interest comes to multiple times of the full loan, as in my...

Also a supermod and will accept a PM.

Most people are still in their teens, or at the very least their early twenties, when they apply for their loans. The interest rates are presented in such a convoluted way that you'd have to be a licensed financial analyst to understand them, and would be considered usury in any other setting...

Well, let's see. I talked with one woman whose loans were $80,000. She has so far paid back, I don't remember the exact number but it was more than double what she borrowed - $178,000 maybe? - and she still owes $87,000 more. I'd say she's paid for her education.

It is never, anywhere in the US, legal to have a completely unpaid internship UNLESS it is under a bona fide program in which you receive college/university credit for the work you do. The FLSA prohibits work for free. Stipends can be legal but I'll let Tax get into the details as they're...

Welcome, Eek!

The idea here is for YOU to come up with new ideas. Your professor doesn't want to hear what we think - we're not taking the class and he's not grading us. It's not going to teach you anything if we tell you what to include.

Take a deep breath. Just because she makes a report doesn't mean the police are going to take any action. If she's that unbalanced, they'll be able to tell.

It's been a while since I read them but I seem to remember Anne McCaffrey's Crystal Line series envisioning everyone being issued an ID bracelet that functioned similarly to Jack's implants. I use the system Foamback describes regularly but it's really more geared for regular participants. I...

Yep, that's how I pay for parking on those days when I take the train to work. Even in my little New England village.

And when you reported these drunk employees to the company's HR, what happened?

Depending on the mailing, it may be possible to have these sent by email as well. However, there are some notifications that are required by the Feds that must be sent as a hard copy - at least the rules for how to send them electronically are so complex that even the major research university I...
