I am experiencing some trouble at work . . . Specifically, I’ve completed my third year at the company, but my managers are still having a hard time trying to figure out where I fit into the company, what to do with me. I had a hunch about this problem before they became aware of this problem – primarily because I saw that there really isn’t a specific opening in the business unit for me to occupy. I brought up the problem to my project manager, and he basically told me that it’s up to me figure things out. It’s not exactly the most supportive atittude, but I’ve moved on from this setback, and I’ve decided to focus on the solutions. I’ve came up with several, and I was wondering if I can get some feedback as to which one would be the best for me (financially and professional-development-wise).
1. Look for other opportunities within the company, and help my current business unit part-time. This way, I don’t burn bridges with my exisitng managers; I can still have a niche.
2. Apply for opportunities outside the company.
I am aware that 1 and 2 need to happen concurrently.
3. Apply to medical school, and become a physician. I feel that there will be a shortage of physicians in the workforce later on. Physicians are paid well; have a prestigious profession; never laid off; and the financial rewards at the end of residency + fellowship are something that I’d never be able to attain if I keep doing what I do now.
What are your thoughts? Or maybe I should just look for a new job (both inside and outside the company), while taking the coursework at night to gain admission to medical school. In other words, I should be doing all these 3 things.
I may have answered my own question there, but I am still feeling very undecided about which field to pursue while searching/working at my full-time job. I have narrowed it down to: medicine, accounting, computer science.
While I feel that medicine is the most financially lucrative field of all 3, it is also the one that is least related to my job and the most expensive route. I know that there are people who start medical school well beyond their early twenties (That’d be the case for me – probably will not make it to medical school until late 30s if I start now.) And I am wondering how I’d feel about that – surrounded by twenty-somethings who are much more adept at school and taking tests. I also have to hold down my full-time job as an analyst while trying to gain admission, and that makes for limited time in all the clinical experience that I must obtain for medical school admission. It is certainly do-able, but given how medical-school admission is more and more competitive every year, I don’t know if I want to spend a lot of time trying to gain admission into something that may not happen. What if I never get in? Wouldn’t all of that time spent on MCAT, admission, interviews simply go to waste?
Computer science and accounting are more related to what I do as an analyst; however, I feel that the downfall of jobs in these fields are just like that of my current job. When there isn’t work, you’re always afraid that your job is on the chopping block. Also, the financial rewards are simply not as lucrative as that of a physician. It’d cost considerably less to do degrees in computer science and accounting than a medical degree. Of course, the latter is also more prestigious.
Any thoughts?

I have several inventions (some designs, some prototyped) that have a lot of potential (I’m not some moron who’s inventing snuggy pt.II I’m actually an engineer with an ok business background so I’ve vetted my “sellable” ideas and ditched the “will never make it” pipe dreams.
Unfortunately I have a full time job and can’t afford to “walk away and persue my inventor dream” I have too many responsibilities that are tied to my paycheck. It seems all the web pages/literature (even the experts at Eureka Ranch) basically say “If you don’t do it yourself you’ll never make any money” A concept that I find impossible to believe.
Is there a company that will vett my idea, and if it passes first round then just take the lion’s share of any money that comes from it? I’d be happy with 10-20% of revenue and Name recognition (some of my inventions for the disabled I’d just settle for name recognition)
Every single “Inventors/Invention” company I’ve looked at is a scam, they’re all companies that just want to sell you a boilerplate portfolio and/or different levels of patenting.
I’ve watched about 10 ideas that I’ve had over the course of the last 7 years turn into money makers for someone else (I have poor man’s patents but a lawyer will laugh at those, I only did that in order to have proof of my ability. So surely this can’t be the only niche in the world where there’s not a company ready and willing to exploit me and my ability to make more money for themselves?
Any help, pointers, links?

is common thought for many people, especially for students who usually don’t have enough time to hold down even a part-time job and people who don’t make quite enough money to cover their expenses. If you’re looking for ways to earn extra money on the side, then you probably don’t have the time to invest in a full time job and just want something that can be done on the sidelines to bring in that little extra money that you may need.
One way to earn extra money that can be done on the side and at home is internet marketing, which entails a lot of things, but the main thing that comes to mind with internet marketing is affiliate marketing where you promote and sell products for a company who gives you a commission for each product you successfully see. There are even companies that will pay up to 75% commission for every sell you make. Now wouldn’t that definitely help with earning some extra spending money for you?
So you may be thinking how you can get started with internet marketing yourself and start making that extra money you need on the side. All that it takes is a willingness to learn, work, and take action. Many people fail at internet marketing because they won’t put what they learn in to use, which is the essential part if you want to see success. If you’re ready to learn and actually take action, then you’re moving in the right direction of earning extra on the side.
To get started, you can sign up for a completely free internet marketing course called Mad Marketing Course at http://www.wealthyaffiliateresource.com.
