Finance Credit Cards
October 2nd, 2008
Question: credit card company sent letter stating they were raising my Finance Charge to 19.99%. Do all cards do this?
I always pay on time and more than the minimum.
Answer: Yes, they can and most of them have been doing it lately. If your account is in good standing, I would call them and ask them to lower it again. Many of these increases are automated and they expect many people to just accept it and never call in to complain.
A customer service rep will review your account and often they will drop it back to a low rate. They don't want to lose a good account and if you are one you can certainly find another card that will give you a decent rate.

Finance Internships

Question: what are the jobs that Mba Finance people do in USA?
i am planning to do MBA in finance and want to start a job in that field. what job would be good and how to find that?
Is temp agencies good or internships good?
I am changing my career from sales to Finance.
Answer: Wow. Sales to finance -- that's a huge switch. And the skill sets and personality requirements are so different. Two different worlds:
Sales -- determined, outgoing, not easily discouraged, dominant, can roll and flex around people, likes change
Finance -- detailed, meticulous, rule follower, accurate, not comfortable with change
Which are you? Sounds more like you need career counseling. The school where you are doing your MBA should be able to provide personality profiling or temperament analysis.
I encourage you to move your career to be in the middle of your gift mix. Doing what you are naturally equipped to do makes you so much better and the job more rewarding. It would be a shame to get your MBA only to discover you hate the routine of accounting!
Good luck
