How does financial services (charity/discount) work at hospitals? How much can I be discounted?
Q. I'm about to apply for financial aid at a hospital making $11/hr @ 30hrs/week and was wondering anybody's experience with these services. I know it's on an individual basis, but I was wondering the success of some individuals that have tried it before. Currently, I'm a temp and make $11/hr and less than 40 hours per week. I pay $700/month rent including utilities; $50/hr on groceries; $75/month on cellphone because I have no landline; and also have collection agencies after me because I defaulted on credit cards. I really can't pay a bill of $2800. To top it off, I told the paramedics I had no way of paying this and they told me the city would. I went in because I couldn't stop regurgitating and felt I was going to puke my liver out. So I… [cont.]

How can an engineer get into the financial services industry?
Q. I'm at a crossroads in my career. I'm burnt out of engineering and want out. I realized that it just isn't me. I have been interested in the financial services for a long, long time but don't know what options I have to break into the industry. After talking to friends, family and those in the know, I have been inundated with all the possible pittfalls. Yet, I am not discouraged. So can anyone please offer options or ideas other than going back to school for a MBA in Finance? Thanks in advance.

A. That's the story of my life too. I'd say you have too routes: 1. you like sales and negotiation - then go for an account executive, rep, business developer, whatever-they-wanna-call- a-salesperson job, specially with a lender. Yahoo Hot Jobs, Monster, all those sites have plenty of offers It may be a lender associated with a bank or not, e.g. Countrywide or, these days, most commercial real estate lender. If you choose to go with a brokerage firm, it's good too, but the road is narrower and harder. Financial industry loves engineeres because we are good with numbers and have structured thinking, so we are always confortable presenting the products. The money is terrific - it's very common to break the 250K/year mark. I've… [cont.]
