I’m apply for work and I’ve had minimal luck and I don’t want to return to an agency since I’m trying to find part-time jobs and agencies usually specialize in full-time. Maybe I’ve had bad luck since I’m putting the location in which the agency had me working at. Should I use the agency itself as my last employer or the place they had me working?
If the agency paid you then they were your employer regardless of where you actually performed the work.
If are performing services for a well-known business you may wish to include that. I worked for Manpower a number of years ago but performed the services at IBM. I show that job as "Manpower @ IBM" so that a prospective employer has a sense of what the job entailed.

I received my bachelors in architecture from the Dominican Republic and work in NYC, for a very very low pay. I’m planning to move to boulder in January. Any info on how to land an architectural job or related field would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
Check with The City of Boulder or any other city governments in Colorado. You can sometimes find Jobs With Cities that require architects.

When looking at legal job postings, I see a lot of posts for paralegals. Some of the salaries are more than associate attorneys I know are making. Some are even more than senior lawyers I know make at small law firms, and definitely more than a lot of solo attorney I know.
Why is this? Are paralegals becoming more valuable than attorneys to some companies? Do you think this profession will continue to grow and evolve? Will they become more valuable and make more money?
Also I am talking "real" paralegal positions here, not legal assistant jobs or legal secretaries.
Super experienced paralegals in some specialized fields (IP is the big one, although there are others) could be more valuable than beginning attorneys and thus earn more, especially in the small firm environment. Solo practitioners are a whole separate deal as they usually set their own rates and a large percentage of their earnings is going towards office space, etc.
Specialized paralegals will probably continue to be valuable because they cost the client less money and are usually paid less. A good, experienced paralegal can handle a fair amount of work that would otherwise be given to a first or second year associate and the billable hour charge will be less than half that for the attorney. Both the client and the firm win.

I have a job at a daycare center with three years of experience, but I don’t get enough hours, and next summer I would like a new job. It doesnt have to be in child care, I actually just want a job where I can sit around and work, not run after toddlers. I’m not too great with numbers, and really great with people.
I like eTeenJobs. They have a great website set up for teenagers looking for summer jobs. They help you start thinking about your career after school and have tons of information.

Hope this helps!

Many higher ranked colleges do not offer SE as a major and opt for computer science and computer engineering. I want to work at google and there they usually only take people from the best schools. So, can I choose another major that would land me the same job and teach me essentially the same things or must I go to MSOE instead of U of I.
You could look at similar concentrations like Information Technology or Information Systems. One of these variations should be offered by the university you plan to get into.

What is the minimum amount of hours, for a school-enlisted minor in Ontario, to work in order to keep part-time status? The workplace in question is McDonald’s.
Anthing less than 37.5 is considered part-time, doesn’t matter where it it. Work one shift a week and you are working part time.

I want a great medical job for the future and am undecided what to do but would like it to pay good but yet not be on call all the time but then again I don’t want a job where I will be paying a lot for insurance because I don’t want to be sued. Please help me out!!!
Do not become a doctor. First, if doing it for the money you will be miserable. Second, there is no way around liability insurance. There are no specialties exempt from being sued (although obviously the types and severity of suits vary by specialty).
If pay and liability insurance are your main issues, then go into pharmacy or nursing. They pay quite well and pay a whole heck of a lot less in insurance. Although even here, if your main goal is loads of money, you will grow to hate your job.

Or more than 8 years of schooling? What are some? Thanks!
Nurse Practitioner…You need a bachelor’s degree in nursing, plus two years of clinical nursing experience after that to get into the NP program. The NP program is, I believe, another two years. A total of 6 years in school, but 8 years to finish. During your two years of clinical nursing after your BSN you are paid a BSN salary, however.
