What is the psychological relevance to this article?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Summary of article:
Summary: The article revolved around the question "would access to the world wide web be abused or constructively used? The question was answered through A HomeNetToo project organized by Linda Johnson, a psychology professor at Michigan State University. The project supported low-income households that had children between ages 10 and 16 with a computer with Internet access. The results were that children that spend an average of 30 minutes on the computer had higher scores than those that spend less time on the computer. Johnson believe that this is the case because the Internet is text-based.

What is the psychological relevance and Why?
Is it psychoanalytical, behaviorist, humanistic, socio-cultural, cognitive, or biological-genetic medical approach.

My H&R Block Earned Income Credit seems low, what factors lower this credit?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

I entered my info on another online EIC calculator and got a result that was more than double what H&R Block shows. My best guess is that the income isn’t being calculated the same way (I was mostly unemployed this last year, but did some freelance work that I’m not counting as being self-employed), so I guess what I’m really asking is how to fix the problem…
PS: I’m using the HR Block online "At Home" free edition.

Working as a Freelancer software developer "online" in USA under student visa? Is it illegal?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Hi guys,

If I work as a freelancer software developer and work online while I am in USA under student visa, is it illegal? As far as I know, Visa rules says, one under student visa, can work for at max 20Hrs a week "on-campus" but never says anything abt online freelancing.

So my question is, is it considered illegal to do so?

Also apart from freelancing, if I am developing my own site which is generating revenue, is it considered illegal?

As I am planning to go to USA for higher studies, I was wondering if I am allowed freelance there or not.

Regards. :)
Thank you so much for the details.
Sure, I am not going there to work, but software dev happens to be my passion, and freelancing is what I am doing right now. So was wondering abt legal status there.

And How about the web site I have. It conntinues to generate income and I don’t want to shut it down!!!

Thanks for your reply.

The Practicality/Logistics of taking on Freelance positions while on Unemployment?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Has anyone taken on a freelance project, week or month-long, while getting unemployment?

Do you:

1.) On my State’s (wa) claim website, do I click the "I worked freelance this week" radio button while making my online weekly claim
or
2.) Do I just simply not do my weekly claim for the weeks I worked?

And final question:

The unemployment money that you didn’t receive in lieu of doing freelance work – do you get this money back to you anyway? The U.I. statement I just got from the State says I’ve been approved for no more than something like: ,012 over some months. And I might need that full amount, if, even earning the freelance money, my unemployment still drags on after that.

The thing is: The freelance jobs I’d be working *won’t* turn into a full time job. So if I’m not going to be recouped the U.I. checks that I’m "losing" during the freelance work week, I’d rather not freelance at all, and use that time instead to job-search.

And, I would also rather use that freelancing time to learn new programming languages for better full-time job marketability!

Thanks,
Steve
It’s possible to misunderstand 2.) if you don’t read carefully.
When I say, "don’t file a weekly claim", that means, "don’t try to get money from the state, because I’ve worked freelance".

Is it true that network adm. and computer analyst jobs are being outsourced to India etc?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I’m studying computer networking, I made my decision after doing extensive research on the profession and reading US Dept. of Labor projections on job growth and availability up till 2014. Aparently this is one of the fastest growing fields in the country, it is also tagged as "in demand" occupation. But I keep running into people that say the cosc jobs are being outsourced to India and other countries. How is that possible? I understand that part of the job is telecommuting, depending on the situation, but how is it possible to maintain hardware from another country? Everyone is talking about cosc going down under, and how it’s horrible because you have to keep getting certifications and keep up your education. I’m just wondering what everyone here thinks about it, or if they have dealt with becoming obsolete in the field. What is really going on???

How do you counteract stress in your life?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Hi! I am someone who has just taken about a 4 year rest from the real working world, and am now back to working in a higher stress job than I have had before. I love the job, there is just so much to learn, so many different directions to go in, and I am working from my home office and telecommuting, as well as meeting with clients in their places of business. My workload has skyrocketed over the past few weeks, and so has my blood pressure.

Just some background. I have PTSD, and took the break from full time work due to my body just giving out from stress related illnesses coming out in seizures, panic attacks, and severe hormonal problems with my adrenal gland. I worked from home part time for my own company, taking on about 8-12 hours of work a week the past few years, and had found a good way to work with it was for every hour of work, have an hour of rest, play, exercise, meditation, or talking with a friend. I am trying to do that now as well, but the "down" time is shorter

Is there really such a thing as a “real” telecommute/ work at home job? If so where do you go to find it?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I am currently seeking employment from 6am -2pm M-F and someone suggested that I try a telecommute job. But, everywhere I look, it seems that all I find are these scams where you have to pay to earn an income or there is no guaranteed salary. I then saw the article on Good Morning America where they stated that there really is such a thing as a " for real" work at home job in the medical coding/billing field. I would be happy even answering phones or doing customer service work. AS LONG AS IT IS LEGITIMATE ! I am a stay at home mom currently running a small at home business and just want to increase my income. When I went to ABCnews.com they did not really give specifics as to where you would go to get legitimate information regarding this subject. Where do you go to find legitimate information regarding this? Does anyone actually do this for real and for what company?

Where can I find a LEGITIMATE position as a freelance writer online?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I have always excelled in my composition courses.

At the current time, I am attending college, and need some way to finance it. I am noticing several places online that offer to direct me to companies that are seeking freelance writers. However, they all want a considerably large fee, and it makes me leery.

Does anyone know of any organization that hires freelances writers from online–preferably one that does not charge an upfront fee?

(WARNING: Spam me with some "Make ,000 a month in your pajamas" nonsense, and I **WILL** report you!)
