How many hours does a typical intern work?
That totally depends on the type of internship you are in and if you have the skills or not.First Scenario:Many times you need to get to an internship wherein the work you do, is super easy for you and you do not have to go through the learning curve in order to get the work done.You just need to polish your skills and imply the knowledge over there. In this scenario, it requires around 4–5 hours a day.Second Scenario:When the internship is new to you, and you don’t have the skills. You will need to put in extra hours to learn, imply, test and see what works for you and what doesn’t.In this scenario, timings might be 7–9 or sometimes more hours a day.This is where the majority of the interns come in, they need to expand their skillset about the industry they are in, how things work, what should be done to achieve things in the least possible time without losing on quality.Many times, the way one thing works well for one, might not work that well for someone else, that is the place of exploring - trying and see what works for you.Note - Timings might be different in different companies and countries, so you need to figure out this part according to where you live and work.Thanks for reading :)Image Credits - Pexels.com

What exercises should one do to prepare for a summer fishing job in Alaska?
What type of fishing?Drift net in Bristol Bay?Seining in Seward?Beach site in Kenai?Most of the commercial fishing vessels for Bristol Bay use powered reels.Back endurance, hand strength (grip strength) are key. Your wrists will get some serious wear and tear also when you pop fish out of the net. Tendonitis is an extremely common issue - probably the best thing you can do is a huge number of those hand grippers or wrist rollers each day.When you round haul a full net (and the image below is a pretty small haul) it is a lot of back side-side rotation and arms pulling down. Then being in a bent over position for half an hour while you clean the net.Whether you will have time to 'build up endurance' during the season depends on how the fish are running. For the past 10+ years they have been running almost all at once - so you get nothing for most of the season then an overwhelming slug of fish.When I commercial fished, it wasn't uncommon to have a number of days with over 10,000 lbs of fish picked, and we had a few days that were over 30,000 lbs (I think our best day was 38,000 lbs). At an average of 5.5 lbs a fish that is 1800 fish on a decent day, and 6900 fish on a huge day.Of course, most fisherman had production of around 1/2-1/3 of ours (skilled captain and experienced crew make for far greater productivity).
Can I drive for Uber with my H1-B work visa or F1 student visa in the US?
The answer is yes and no.As an International student or temporary worker, you can sign-up and drive with Uber as long as you have your social security number (SSN).Uber pays you via direct deposit (once a week) and reports your income to IRS. At the end of the Tax year, you'll receive a 1099-MISC form.The Yes part:If you made less than $600 in the entire year (Jan to Dec), you are not required to file taxes to IRS. You will still get a 1099 tax form but you won't have to fill it.The No part:If you are going to make more than $600 in the tax year (Jan to Dec), you'll have to file taxes and it will be on record.Now, as others have noted, being on F1 or H1B visa, you are not suppose to work off-campus or for another employer who doesn't hold your work visa.So by the letter of the law, you are NOT suppose to work. (Even for up-to that $600.)The real question is: can you drive and not be in trouble?The answer is: In many cases YES. But there is always that "what-if?"My (non-legal) advise on this: "don't drive". But if you must for whatsoever financial reason, do it and there is high probability that you will be just fine.For example, many IT workers have been doing the Amway business, selling on Amazon & eBay, and making money and getting 1099-MISC/1099-K. They have been filing taxes with the IRS and have got their Green Cards (GC) and Citizenship in due time.The author also wrote about My Top posts on Metalearning.

Vector Marketing Job?
Ok, I'm a High School Senior. I currently work at the movies down by the mall. I make minimum wage and I want a better job. Graduation is only 2 weeks away and I'm in High School Debt. (Senior Cap & Gown, etc.) SO! I happen to walk by the counselors office and see this "Summer Job Work, $14 base/apt." I was like, omg sure! why not? I call and the secretary takes my information (name, number) and asks for an interview. Im like omg ok sure! I asked what the job was about and she said she could not answer that question, and all questions are to be answered by the manager. So the coming day, I show up to the office, knowing nothing of the job. I walk in the room, and I see college kids in uniforms and ties. I start to feel queezy cuz i showed up laid back. They call me in and take my info. If the manager liked me, he'd tell me to go sit back, or tell me to go home. I got to sit back in the room with the others. Turns out there's a company named VECTOR MARKETING and they sell kitchen utensils. Then a presentation was given about the best knives available and how we'd have to sell them to customers and make appointments, and by those appts we make $14. Then at the end, the manager calls me in one last time and asks me if i like to work with customers, so i say yes. and then he says "You got the job!" so i was excited! straight off the bat, I see NOTHING WRONG. May I be gullible, i dont think so. This seems pretty LEGIT to me. My Parents FLIPPED and told me NOT TO GO WORK FOR THEM. I disagree, I think its a good job better than my old one. What should I do?
Have you ever worked in Alaska?
I worked construction in and all over the state of Alaska the last 15 years. Also a little commercial fishing. There isn't a tougher workforce. Working outside 6–7 days a week 10–12 hours a day, up to 8 weeks straight in temperatures hovering around 0° and a windchill averaging below -20°/-30°. No sunlight for 2–3 months. It does get dusk for a couple hours in the early afternoon. This job specifically was 3 years long. One of many in a very fast growing state at the time. Trust me when I say that those aren't even the worst conditions you could find yourself working in. It's slowed down very much in the last 2 years but is on its way to starting again where it left off. Working in the summer is obviously the best time of the year to work and the busiest as most projects’ schedules aim to be at least closed in and heated before the termination dust. I find this the toughest for me when all you want to do is enjoy the outdoors and the long summer days instead of working so much. Getting time off is especially hard, but if you want to make over 100 to 140 grand a year, not knowing what next year will bring, better get it while you can.
Is 7 dollars an hour considered good pay for teen?
i work at panera bread and only get about 13-20 hours a week. Is this good money for a 17 year old? How can ask for more hours, they have too many employes right now and I have not been getting as many as i use to.
How much is the average pay for the part time jobs for international students in Sweden?
Depends on what type of job it is. Two international students who rented a room from me worked extra. One delivered flyers for local stores, he worked 4 hours a week for around 25 swedish krona an hour.The other one did a project work for Volvo one semester and got 60000 swedish krona for that project. I dont know how many hours he put down on it but he did at the same time he studied his last semester for his MA.So it can be very different depending on your skills, knowledge, contacts and how you promote yourself.
What was your path to $100k a year? Can you list all of the jobs you’ve had from the time you’ve finished school and how much they paid?
Here is a chart of my historical annual income, subsequent to graduation from university (undergraduate degree):It was in year 7 that I first exceeded $100k in annual income. I thought to extend the graph further to demonstrate that:if you establish the right foundation during the early stages of your career, your compensation can increase well beyond the $100k milestone - the first decade of your career should be about positioning rather than realized income;it is okay if your compensation does not go up every year - sometimes you need to take the proverbial step backward to subsequently take bigger steps forward; andmy path was very incremental - there was no “get rich quick” solution involved.Following were the specific jobs that I held over the past 24 years:Years 1–2: Analyst at a bankYears 3–8: Management consultant (Big-4 firm)Years 9–10: Junior executive at a mutual fund companyYears 11–13: Management consultant (Big-4 firm)Years 14–16: Executive at a hedge fundYears 17-present: Senior executive at a successful fintech “start-up”I did not begin my career with any significant advantage except one: my education. My parents invested in private schooling for me throughout elementary and high school, then made it possible for me to attend a top university (ranked between #1 and 5 in the world, depending on which survey). This got me off to a very strong start, and has been key to credentializing me along every step of the way.In my experience, the path from $0 to $100k was not different than the path from $100k to $1 million. They both take years of hard work (regular 65–80 hour work weeks), intense focus on adding value to your clients, and the good fortune to be surrounded by amazing colleagues. Maintaining your professional and personal integrity along the way is also critical. The best part about earning $100k (or $1 million) per year is what it means you have accomplished.I am as interested as anyone to see where the path leads from here.
