scott b asked:

My job in Massachusetts made me travel to Texas for business for 5 months. My wife went with me to Texas. While we were there she got a temporary job in Texas. Technically we lived in Massachusetts because I was on travel, but should she have to pay state income tax to Massachusetts for her income in Texas?

almk♥ asked:

Can two young adults live on $35,000-$41,000 a year? (Massachusetts)

My boyfriend and I got an apartment. together we make $41,000 a year. He makes 35k on his own, and really, my salary varies working part time because I have a part time job, but also work with my dad seasonally.

But a rough estimate between 35 and 41k a year.

Teenage job opportunities?

Tuesday 15 November 2011 @ 5:49 pm

Peter asked:

I am a 16 year old high school student living in Massachusetts. I haven’t had time to get my driver’s license (or learning permit) yet. However, I was wondering if people know of any good job opportunities for a kid my age. I was looking into trying to get a job at one of the Apple stores however due to certain Massachusetts labor laws they rarely hire under 18. I was wondering if there was a job that had the same direct interaction with computers or technology, a field I am very interested in. I want to earn some cash for myself so I don’t have to be completely reliant on my parents and when I finally get my license be able to put money towards the vehicle.

Geyamala asked:

Republicans in the US, brimming with confidence after the Massachusetts vote this week that led to them winning a Democrat seat, have urged President Obama to change course on health-care reform.
Republicans in the US, brimming with confidence after the Massachusetts vote this week that led to them winning a Democrat seat, have urged President Obama to change course on health-care reform.

The Republican Party has asserted that Massachusetts voters were only reflecting the frustration among Americans with President Obama’s push for health-care reform, to the exclusion of job creation schemes.

What does a Detective Lieutenant do?

Wednesday 26 October 2011 @ 2:07 pm

Clandestine asked:

I’m a college student and in my writing class I have an assignment of proofreading a short story by a fellow student, including story-line errors. In the story one of the main characters is a Detective Lieutenant in Massachusetts I think. There is a homicide/shooting in the story.

What exactly is a Detective Lieutenant’s job? Does he actually investigate a crime scene? Look at the body? Any details would be appreciated.
Also, are they considered high rank, especially if it’s a department in a capital city?
