PC Support to Project Management?
I don't know any programming languages, but I have 7 years of PC support (tiers 1 and 2), some at the state government level. What would I need to get certified in, or go back to school for to transition over to IT project management? Should I just start knocking out IT certifications and get my MA in Finance? Thoughts?

You need a PMP certification to get into Project Management. Masters in management would help too.

For project management, you'll want to get PMP certification (Project Management Professional). To obtain this, you have to take some tests, but more importantly, you have to log actual project management hours...quite a bit. Check out the Project Management Institute for more information.

A good project manager can manage anything. I would get a Master's Certification in Project Management. That way you can manage construction projects, office upgrade projects, IT projects, etc. You will be more versatile this way. If you want to concentrate on the technical side of things, Project management may not be what you want to do. Remember, they are responsible for costs, hiring, budgets, etc. In other words, they are responsible for EVERYTHING related to a project.

I am an IT Project Manager and I went through the same path as you. I went from the help desk to server support, and then managed pc deployments. Next I managed an entire server departed and then I got into IT PM work. I do not have my PMP although I have taken PM classes. Alot of it is paperwork based and metrics related and I can tell you I found my job much more fufilling when I actually did something. You may find the same thing. I would take that leap into management within IT before I branched over to PM work, it will give you experience to pull from. It's alot easier to allocate resources and estimate time when you have a clue what the tasks entail. It also helps you when working with system administrators when you are architecting new systems

Did you receive docs sent to you dated 21 July 2009 from Ma Liza delos Santos re updated finances of sponsor?
Maria Liza delos Santos applied student visa in Nov 2008 but refused due to his sponsor. She appealed this and this July 2009 the embassy wrote to her to furnish the updated finances of her sponsor. This 21 of July was sent to you at Taguig.

Why can’t the government break up the big finance companies
Why can’t the government break up the big finance companies?
In the middle 70s the government took on “Ma Bell†which resulted in the telephone giant being split into several smaller companies. This has created competition and led to a broader base of technological initiatives we all benefit from today. Way can’t the government do the same ting to the big finance companies? It has been said that these companies are so big they can not be properly controlled by the government or their own management. Tax payers are paying for their bad habits and mismanagement. Should the tax payer demand that the government break them up as they did with Ma Bell?

Yes, I agree that they should, the ones that have failed anyway and are effectively in government receivership. Why should a company be "too big to fail"? They've hurt the country, the world, their shareholders, all of us, so they can pay themselves huge salaries and bonuses. I say make them "too small to matter," and then if they bankrupt their companies through speculation they'll have to kiss their asses goodbye.

No one is to big to fail, for everyone that does fail there are 3 or 4 to take the place. That is called choice and competition.

i doesnt appear that we are gonna be demanding anything from those in power., we are just biometrically scanned free range organ donors as far as i can tell. Raytheon is developing lots of new " crowd control munnitions" like the active denial system that puts a heat ray on you and boils your skin.. sound cannons .. piezoelectric pellets in a 12 ga shell- like electric buckshot .. the 3 army 1st battalion -20,000 strong are back from iraq to support law enfocement if theres any problem..lots of room in the fema camps for those who wont follow the new world orders..

What are the steps of financing a car
What are the steps of financing a car?
I currently live in MA, but am financing a car in NH. I was wondering the steps I would need to go through to be able to drive it off the lot. Such as registering it and insuring it? I know to take it off the lot I need to have it registered, and to get it registered I need to insure it, but is there anyway around this, or can someone maybe explain it a little better for me?

If the car you're buying is replacing an existing car, or being added to an existing policy, use your current auto policy number and company; you have automatic coverage on the new one for whatever you had on the old one (liability only, liability and physical damage) for at least 30 days. If it's a "new" vehicle for you, not a replacement or addition, get the VIN from the salesman, then phone your agent/company, and use that for the new application. Then, when you get the title, or application for the title, for the new one, take that to the DMV, use the policy number you used at the dealer, and you should have no problems.
2
Call your insurance agent from the car lot and add to your policy from there? I am pretty sure telephones exist in New Hampshire, but check to be sure. I think the registration can happen after you've established that much.
3
Once you have signed your purchase agreement, just call your insurance company. Most (if not all) will insure it for you immediately and email you proof of ins. While you may not have access to a printer, the car will be insured and you will be covered if something happens. As for registration, the dealer will give you temporary plates to use. Depending on the tax laws, the dealer may or may not collect tax. Most likely, they won't and you'll have to pay the tax when you go to register it.

Financed cars is more expensive to insurance cause it requires full coverage. You can compare how much you would pay for full coverage of this car using this tool - carinsurance.deep-ice.com

An MA in Economics is basically a stepping stone to a PhD in Economics. Just like an MBA it allows for greater job than any bachelor's degree. A MBA has a broader curriculum in a business sense while a MA you have to do actual qualitative analysis and modeling. An MA doesn't teach marketing, organizational behavior, operations, leadership or other general business classes you might find in traditional M.B.A. programs An MA in Econ teaches you skills that help to explain the complexities of how people and society operate. Economics isn't a business degree, although economics teaches important business skills. The MBA isn’t about rote learning, it is more about decision-making and analysis in an environment where you can share your ideas and your experiences with other people who have a similar level of work and management background to you. It's all up to you and what you want to do in your career.

You can get a good job with the government, banks, and companies, or get a phd and do research or really whatever you want. Economics is really a good major, and I think even better than an MBA (unless you really want to work at target or walmart) My uncle got a MA in economics and a MA in public policy and he went to work for the state department and worked his way up and became an ambassador to belarus. Then he worked for nato, for a while in brussels, and now he's the deputy ambassador in iraq. It's pretty cool stuff, they fly him all over the country and provide housing and stuff for him, and he's met the president and stuff, even if you don't like him that's kind of cool. Anyways his name is dan speckhard if you want to google him. Myself I'm getting a PHD in economics and then I plan to do research on poverty and international development, but really the sky is the limit with any degree in economics.

There is plenty you can do with an MA in economics. An MA sets you apart and is more scarce than a MBA. An MA should give excellent quantitative skills that are very much in demand. Your MA should also have at least one concentration. This could be anything from labor economics to utility regulation. This is also where you will blow by the MBA grad if you chose the right subfield. You also should be able to find ample opportunities in government, research, or community college teaching.
