thesicilian:Not exactly, Michael Jordan made his wealth by being an employee of the Chicago Bulls and Jay Z and Kanye were also employees of their recording labels. Messi and co are employees. Lots of people are employees and earn millions of dollars a month, which they then wisely invest in stocks, real estate etc. You can be an employee and be rich-as long as you are wise, work hard AND SMART and understand the principle of time and place 2 Likes 1 Share |

Atlas9:That's why in more organized societies, autopsies are conducted. It's not the job of one man or one department to be judge, jury and executioner. These jobs are divided for a reason. The autopsy will reveal not only cause, but time of death. |

Wow. Unfortunately if it was Nigeria, the lady would be arrested and have to pay hefty bail to get her freedom. Sleeping with someone who then dies or being in the same house as someone who dies IS NOT A CRIME. Yes such people should answer police enquiries and they have a right to question them. Just do an autopsy and cause of death will be revealed. We need to get to that point where people wont be afraid to report deaths or help victims of violence, accident or sudden death. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

Work for an airline is usually a part time job for many. I met many bank managers, lawyers, businessman working there. The pay is not much except you want to do it as a career and work in the office. Otherwise Field workers are divided into above wing ( customer services issuing tickets, gate officers) and below wing ( those who bring in the planes, load bags etc).Below wing mostly work outside. You either work with the main company like Delta, United, Sun Country or their subsidiaries where pay is less and work conditions not as good or permanent. As a worker I got to fly unlimited throughout America and 25 times overseas with my immediate family. 25 for my parents no matter what County they are in. If you travel to Nigeria like once or twice a year, that's a savings of $2000 to $4000 (economy) and $10,000 to $20,000 if business class and if you have a spouse and 3 kids, multiple that. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
