Nagesh answers:

Bangle Tigers. They are cheap, don’t require a big enclosure, and if you buy a boy and girl, selling the kids is very productive.

Nagesh answers:

Hemp jewelry, scented bath salts, for the jewelry look up elainecrafts.com
for bath salts get a bag of salt like you put in ice cream machines or on the sidewalk when there is ice, it needs to be just plain salt, no extra chemicals in it. Pick out the rocks, sent with perfume oil, and color with drops of food coloring, my daughter and i used to make this in huge popcorn bowls and then put in small jars we found at flea markets and such and we sold it at ren faires and other places, ive done jewelry for years and now she has caught the bug. By the way, flea you are wrong, we arent all that jealous of what sells, we just try to make ours more attractive. Actually kacky, ive been doing it a long time and one of the best shows was on mothers day weekend and kids and fathers bought tons of bath salts because they realized they forgot things for mom. Dont trash other beginners. You had to start somewhere too. Im almost 60, i think ive seen most of the ups and downs of crafts, but my daughter used to make little friendship bracelets and sell at school, everyone has to get brave enough to try.

Since when is babysitting stupid?
When I was younger I remember my cousin making a fortune babysitting a couple kids here and there. All while only being 14.

Nagesh answers:

Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people’s mailboxes, and grocery stores.

Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer.

Culver’s minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit.

I called many stores because I am 14 looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long.

Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring.

What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at.

Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants.

Check out my blog. It has tons of money making ideas, saving tips, ways to score freebies , and discounts. The link is under my profile.
You can create a blog too. You can generate money just ranting about your interests.

Nagesh answers:

I would say you need some sort of tipped job server, valet etc. I’m not sure if you both have jobs I would need more information. That is the fastest way to get money everyday right away. They have work today get paid today offices in most cities. Its mostly labor work etc but you do get a paycheck or in some cases cash that day. There are ways out there but the key though is to figure out and defeat the beast (situation) that has you this desperate in the first place. Cut back spending hell if your writing this from home cut your Internet. Go to the library or local university to use the net. This can help generate extra money monthly.

Nagesh answers:

Try to start selling something maybe.
Post flyers everywhere advertising it
or you can start mowing lawns for other people
i’m 12 and i tutor kids younger than me in my neighborhood
i love doing it..:D
or you can get your friends and start something new together
for example, you can start a business for birthday planning or somethin
just look for something fun to do!

Nagesh answers:

There is no shortcut to building wealth. If there was, we’d all be loaded. The riskiest way is to use the stock market which, over the long term, can get you 10% or so with relatively safe investments. If you want something safer and guaranteed, look online for a good money market savings account. You can usually open one for $500 or less and can get a return of 5% or so. Bankrate.com has a good list of current offers and returns that you can get from various banks.

Just stay away from lottery tickets and fool’s gold.

Nagesh answers:

Nagesh answers:

Baby sitting or looking after an elderly person can bring in some $. But not big $ for anything legal.
If your family is facing financial problems, they could gt extra jobs and you could help at home.

Nagesh answers:

You will not find any legitimate leads here.

Any responses asking you to go to a link, or email them for information, are just scams.

The WAH jobs I know of are of people who have worked at a company for many years, proved themselves, and have been allowed to work 2 or 3 days a week from home. There are also remote sales jobs, that require you to travel throughout a territory, and the corporate HQ is very far away.

Things like “virtual assistant”, “survey”, ” envelope stuffing”, “assembly”, ” mystery shopper”, “rebate processing”, “invoice receiving”, and many others are all totally scams.

I know that you need work & income very badly; this is exactly the type of victim these scams are looking for – desperate, hopeful, and naive.

Just be very, very careful as you proceed down this road; you do NOT want to lose money which you already have so little of.

There are no real internet work at home jobs. You will just be bombarded with all kinds of scams. You’ll make a lot more money working at Mickey D’s or BK and you’ll get a free hat

Nagesh answers:

There are so many ways to make money from home using your computer as well as other means. The question you need to ask yourself is how much money do you want to make from home? Survey’s you’ll make below minimum wage and they require a lot of time involved. They’re not what you think nor what they say they are. Home jobs your looking at making minimum wage. Then after taxes are taken out, your take home will be below minimum wage. Home based businesses I’ve found give you the best option. You have the same income opportunity as a traditional business without all the overhead expenses. However, if you don’t build your business, you won’t make an income. But it gives you the best opportunity to make what you want to make.

Nagesh answers:

Nagesh answers:

I understand your feelings friend. Jesus proclaimed that many, most will go to hell and very few will enter heaven. Now how can it be that all the tens of thousands of churches in America today all believe they are going to heaven? Get the idea? The multitudes believe they are going to heaven and are being taught that they are, but blatantly with great arrogance they disregard what Jesus says.

Today we have apostate churches. It is a church that appears Godly, but is not truly of God. It believes not the true Gospel of Jesus, or it pretends to believe, but will not obey. It is a fine religion that does little but serve itself. It is a cult. This church has a form of Godliness but denies the power of God. It tickles the ears of its members with good tidings. It’s a “social” gathering. Repentance, holiness and good works are frowned upon. Just because all the churches are doing the same things does not negate God’s Word or His commands.

The church system you see today is not Biblical. It is a system built by men to serve themselves.
The only time a collection of money was taken by Christians was to help each other and to send forth someone to proclaim the Gospel. This process of taking money from the flock to enrich the pastor, or even to earn a living from the flock, is not Biblical at all. It is a man-made process to become wealthy at the congregation’s expense. Jesus warned us that many would come in His name to deceive and many there are doing just that! Your pastor or your denomination owns the deed to your church, not the congregation. The individual in the congregation pays for this. On judgment day you will be held accountable for being a good or bad steward. Giving your money (tithes) to these false churches gains you zero credit with God. Jesus never instructed anyone to create a church to make money. The Apostles never instructed anyone to collect money to build a church or a school. These things “appear” to be good, but they do not reach the lost for Christ and that is the bottom line. God wants the lost to be saved.

Jesus warned that the gate to heaven was narrow and the road to destruction was wide. Look in your telephone Yellow Page directory and see all the churches. There are dozens upon dozens. This is the wide road, it certainly is not a narrow one. The moment you begin to believe in your church you are in great danger. Jesus said not to follow a church. He said to follow Him. Jesus’ church is of individuals that do the will of His Father.

Friend I left my church several years ago too. I was so tired of all the false teachings and celebrations of pagan holidays. They were no different than everybody else, except they appear to be “godly”. I am certainly not perfect friend, but I try my best to live according to Jesus’ teachings. I pray and read the bible everyday. I want to live for Jesus, even if I don’t make into heaven, because I love Him. Friend, I was raped when I was seventeen years old. My innocence was stolen and my world came crashing down. I have also had two miscarriages in the past five years. There are things in my life I don’t understand, but I trust Jesus. There are answers to all of my questions; for now I am content to leave them in my Father’s keeping. (quote from Corrie Ten Boom-Holocaust survivor)

Nagesh answers:

No such thing, just another bit of asian mysticism.

There are many old and New-age practices that utilize some form of chi/prana/qi/human energy field/aura etc etc. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that such a field or force exists. Believers claim that they are able to detect these fields with “proper” training and manipulate them to affect health, for example. When tested under scientifically controlled conditions, they can do no better than random chance ( ie guessing) at detecting an HEF, never mind affecting health outcomes in any measurable way.

In pre-scientific cultures, various mystical explanations were invented to explain disease, illness, misfortune….gods, demons, and blocked chi. These ideas all had cultural significance, but like religion, they are ideas that we as a civilization have outgrown, and by clinging to these fallacies, we are holding back social progress.

Like all religious belief, it is utter nonsense. You give yourself away when you say “I believe it’s real” Belief is not proof. Abandon superstition and embrace reality.

Nagesh answers:

These questions are so funny – every day at least 100 13 year olds post this question. Why are children so obsessed with money these days when they should be studying, doing homework, playing sports, reading or spending time with their families? There is NO such thing as making money fast – and you will spend the next 20 years of your life learning that. You make money by getting a job – you know like labor. Obviously mowing lawns or babysitting are two very simple activities kids can do.

Nagesh answers:

Historically, many people have been forced into becoming hobos because of circumstances where jobs are so scarce that they have no choice but to travel from place to place in search of work. There are many theories of the origin of the word hobo (see Wikipedia’s entry, listed in the Sources and Citations), ranging from a contraction of the words “Hoe Boys” to one of the words “Homeward Bound”. In any case, the American Heritage Dictionary defines a hobo as “one who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood.” But the dawn of the Internet and increased dissatisfaction with the 9 to 5 routine have led more and more people to wonder if earning a living while on the road is a viable alternative to the daily grind. If you’re thinking about becoming an opportunistic and resourceful transient worker, keeping your costs low, your responsibilities simple, and your freedom intact, here are the questions you’ll need to ask yourself, and the preparations you’ll need to make.

Remember the differences between hobos, tramps, and bums: hobos’ are people who travel and look for work, tramps are people who travel and don’t look for work, bums are people who neither travel nor look for work.

Farm hand – If you’ve ever thought about being a farmhand there are places all over the world that offer housing, food, a stipend, and experience, in exchange for getting your hands dirty. You can follow harvest seasons around the country or maybe around the globe.

Take stock of your skills and experience. Historically, hobos have made a living through manual labor, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. Any skill that is in wide demand and does not require an extended time commitment can be useful to a hobo. As long as you can advertise your services and earn people’s trust (ideally through references), you can do anything.

Establish Plan B. This is a serious, life-altering decision. Don’t abandon everything suddenly and disappear. You need something to come back to if your life on the road doesn’t work out. Make sure all your debts are paid and responsibilities are handled before departure. If possible, have some savings set aside before you go, that you can access while you’re on the road, if need be. Emergencies happen, and they cost money.

Be prepared. You may like the romantic idea of leaving with nothing but the clothes on your back and whatever is in your wallet, but that is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. You must assume that you will be sleeping, cooking, traveling, and essentially living outdoors, unless you decide to drive a car

Make a list of connections. Look at maps of the areas in which you’ll be traveling, and determine whether or not there’s anyone you know, directly or indirectly, who lives there. Ask your Aunt Sally if your great uncle Billy still lives in that cabin in the woods. Ask your friend if his cousin still works at the car dealership in Utah. Most important of all, ask them if it’s okay if you can get in touch with those people in case of an emergency. Some people might offer to make arrangements so that you can actually visit, which is always nice. (Just be a good house guest!)

Make an itinerary based on the type of work you plan to do, the connections you have in place, and the places you’d like to see. Do as much research as you can beforehand. Make a list of places you can stay, eat, shower, camp, etc. It’s also wise to look up churches and shelters and any services that are offered to the homeless. The more prepared you are, the more you’ll enjoy your travels.

Nagesh answers:

That particular tactic is typical for Amway or their newer on-line company, Quixtar. If this is the case it would obviously not be considered a pyramid scheme because they have been in business for over 50 years.

Usually when people say Pyramid Scheme they are referring to an illegal business format where people earn money from large sign up fees or from huge purchases of a product (front loading). All large corporations are structured in a pyramid shape. That is they have a CEO or President and some Vice Presidents at the top and they have a lot more employees at the bottom. A company that allows you to earn money from the sale of normal (usable) quantities of products is probably a legitimate MLM company.

Today there are many legitimate “work from home” companies that are structured in this same shape where you would need to find other distributors to join your company. These are the best companies to invest in if you want to own your own business. They have low start-up cost and low risk but most have huge upside income potential. To choose one you should look for a product that you really like. Also, you should consider the experience level of the people that you are joining with. These businesses are simple but you will have a lot to learn in order to really make the big bucks. If you want to know more about some of these companies, I can make some recommendations.

Nagesh answers:

Hi

First you calculate how much you are entitled to recover. You are entitled to recover 100% of Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) if your annual liability for Class 1 NICs is £45,000.00 or less. If this is the case you are also allowed to claim an extra 4.5% of the SMP as compensation for the NICs you pay on the SMP.

You deduct the amount from the payments of tax and NIC that you pay to HMRC for the PAYE scheme.

If you are not making enough payments to HMRC to be able to ‘recover’ the amount of SMP that you are entitled to recover you have two options. You can wait until the end of the tax year, and your P35 Employer’s Annual Return will show that HMRC owe you a repayment. OR you can ask HMRC to give you the money now – it is called an ‘advance’ to pay SMP.

Look at the tax office website, they tell you what to do: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/employers/employee_pregnant.htm#18 you want the section called ‘Recovering SMP/SPP’. You can apply for an advance by email from this page: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/employers/statpayments-recovery.htm
Or if you have any questions, call your HMRC accounts office (about the advance) or the New Employers Helpline (about the calculation) on 0845 60 70 143.

That’s a difficult choice!

Hopefully they’ll offer you some alternative work experience with them, maybe during a school holiday.

Police officer: Salary and conditions

* Range of typical starting salaries: between £21,534 on commencing service and £24,039 on completion of the initial training period (salary data collected March 08).
* Range of typical salaries with experience (e.g. After 10-15 years in the role): £33,810 – £37,071 (sergeant); £42,264 – £45,843 (inspector) (salary data collected March 08).
* London weighting and additional competency-related threshold payments are available for all ranks. An automatic Police Pension Scheme is provided but individuals may choose to make independent pension provision.
* A full-time working week is 37 hours, with an average of two rest days. Police officers provide a 24-hour public service so this is not a ‘nine-to-five’ job. Unsocial hours, shift work, and emergency call-out are required. Overtime is available and is paid at a higher rate.
* The daily working environment is variable. You may be in a patrol car, outside on the beat, at the station or attending court.
* Work conditions may be influenced by regional factors such as local terrain and culture, and size of the force.
* Part-time working, job share and flexible hours are available. Career breaks are possible after the probationary period.
* The police service is keen to reflect the diversity of the communities it serves and welcomes job applications from women, ethnic minority groups and the lesbian and gay community.
* Job opportunities exist throughout the UK.
* A free uniform and equipment are provided. Police officers are expected to adhere to a dress code.
* On appointment, police officers become members of the Police Federation of England & Wales . New police officers are not permitted to join a trade union.
* Police officers and sergeants usually retire after 30 years’ service or on reaching the age of 55; various compulsory retirement ages apply for higher ranks.
* Police officers are governed by a code of conduct both on and off duty.
* Travel away from home is rare but absence from home overnight may be common because of shift work.

I found that on www.prospects.ac.uk
It does not say the London salary though. But I thought it might still be useful to you.

The starting salary of a Police Officer in London was hard to find, as the London Met website was under construction but I found this article to give me the answer. I am not sure how accurate the article it but it is a starting salary of roughly £22,635, increasing to £27,609 after 5 years by the sounds of it:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/pound3300-pay-rise-for-police-in-london-715639.html

Metropolitan police officers currently not receiving a housing allowance are to get a £3,300 pay rise, Home Secretary Jack Straw announced today.

Metropolitan police officers currently not receiving a housing allowance are to get a £3,300 pay rise, Home Secretary Jack Straw announced today.

The £64-per-week increase, which comes into force next week, is intended to ease recruitment problems aggravated by rising house prices.

It follows a warning yesterday by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens that shifts all over the capital would be “stretched to breaking point” unless the issue of pay was sorted out.

He said there Government cuts had caused a recruitment and retention “crisis”.

Mr Straw, opening a Commons debate on policing in London today, said officers recruited since the housing allowance was scrapped in 1994 had been hit by both rising house prices and the loss of the extra money.

MPs cheered as he said: “I am therefore pleased to announce that the pay of all officers in the Met who joined on or after September 1, 1994, and are not in receipt of housing allowance will increase from next week by £3,327 a year.

“This is a very significant increase in their pay. They deserve it.”

It will raise the starting salary of a constable to £22,635 and for one with five years service, £27,609, with scope for overtime averaging between £4,000 and £5,000 a year.

Nagesh answers:

In my answer I’m assuming that UK law applies and that you are enrolled on an approved apprenticeship scheme.

The short answer is yes you can be made redundant from an apprenticeship but, by making you redundant the employer has breached its contract with you.

As an apprentice your contract should be a fixed term contract for the duration of the apprenticeship. The contract will be subject to you complying with attending college / training courses completing them successfully and adhering to normal company performance criteria, I.e. Time keeping, good disciplinary record etc.

If you have kept your side of the contract and there is no disciplinary reason for the employer to dismiss you then the employer has breached their contract by terminating it before your training is complete.

In the eyes of the law the apprentice agreement is a common law contract. By terminating the contract early your employer is in breach of contract.

This is separate to your employment rights, which mean that you can be terminated at any time with suitable notice defined within your contract of employment. As you have less than 1 years service you cannot claim unfair dismissal and therefore cannot ask to be reinstated.

Your only recourse is in the breach of your apprenticeship contact. There are 2 cases which come to mind where an apprentice has successfully claimed damages from an employer. These damages are:

1) For loss of earnings for the remainder of the contract. So if you worked 6 months of a 2 year contract you could claim the remaining 18 months pay.

2) For loss of future earning capability from failing to gain the qualification at the end of the apprenticeship. E.g. If you started unskilled and the apprenticeship led to and ONC in mechanical engineering and there is no reason to believe you would have failed the course you would be entitled to claim damages for the difference between what you earn as an unskilled worked and what you could have earned had you passed your ONC course.

The two cases I refer to are Flett v Matheson & Wallace v C A Roofing where damages were successfully claimed in a court of law for early termination of an apprenticeship.

If you want to go down the legal route then you need to engage the services of a good solicitor versed in employment law. If you are a member of trade union they may be able to put you in touch with one and pay their fees. Make sure you have copies of all your signed contracts and letters from your employer available and your apprentice portfolio to prove that you have complied with your course requirements.

While suing for compensation seems tempting you also need to consider that to get another apprenticeship, you will need a good reference from your former employer, this may be less forthcoming if you undertake legal proceedings.
