Q: I am considering entering a debt management program. Anyone have any advice?
I am considering entering a debt management program because I am way over my head in credit card debt. I know it may not be the best solution but it seems I keep putting it off, getting no where paying down my debt. Does anyone have advice or comments?

A: Debt counseling is the best way to go instead of debt consolidation (which simply means one borrows more to get out of debt). Here is a link to the FTC approved agencies. Some may charge a small fee and may not (depends upon your situation). This will give you breathing time to catch up http://www.usdoj.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/ccde/cc_approved.htm Govt approved credit counseling agencies. Good luck and hope this helps.

Q: Why shouldn't the Australian Bushfire Management Program Allow citizen to be free to choose to protect or run?
Well, you know about the bushfires in Australia? So, my question regards the BMP of Austalia. This program allows people to be free to evacuate their homes or stay and protect them in case of an approaching fire. So what are some reasons that this isn't good or effective?

A: This policy of defend or flee has been working quite well in Australia for a number of years. It was commonly thought that if people were prepared and the fires wern't too large, then homes could mostly be saved. This was because if people were evacuated too late, then everyone could be at risk. However it didn't work so well in the Victorian bushfires as some people didn't even know there was a fire until it was too late. There didn't seem to be a way of letting everyone know that a fire was in the area. The fires were so large that even some people who had properly prepared their homes ended up with their homes been burnt to the ground.

Q: Management Trainee Program at Cintas?? What is the pay during this training program?
I am interviewing for the Management Trainee Program and was wondering what the payscale was for this entry-level position? Also if anyone knows what its like to work there that would be helpful!

A: The pay depends on the location- where I worked the management trainees started at $35K, but it varied by state. I worked there long enough to know that they work the management trainees like dogs. You will be expected to be at work at the crack of dawn (5:30ish-6:00am) and you won't leave until 6:00pm- at the earliest. You will be expected to run routes (drive the delivery trucks), work in the plant (manage a shift- could be 2nd or 3rd shift), and work in sales. The program is 2 years long and you will rotate through several different departments, BUT the majority of your time will be in: 1. Production- managing people, various shifts, operating equipment and moving dirty laundry around (you will stink by the end of the day) 2. Service- you will drive a delivery truck, service customers and manage people. However, the majority of the time you will fill in for drivers on vacation. 3. Sales- you will be expected to go out and sell the uniform service. Heaven help you if you are not good at it. Sorry, I am a little jaded, but the above information is fact. Honestly, if you have other options I would take them. Cintas is embroiled in several class action lawsuits (based on race & gender discrimination.) Good luck!

Q: What is the ranking/reputation of the hospitality management program at NYU?
I got a finance/real estate degree at Yeshiva University. Since I am willing to start a career in the hotel business. Is NYU,s hospitality program among the best? Is there any ranking?

A: NYU is an excellent school, but honestly, I had never heard that they had such a program. If they do, it isn't among the better ones out there, nor is it one of NYU's stronger programs. There are rankings that come out occasionally, but it doesn't seem to be a very regular thing.
