Arielle L asked:


I am a professional dancer but I would like to get a business degree to help me further my dance career. I need to learn how to manage money, run a studio, promote myself, etc… All the things that artists are known to be bad at. I will eventually be starting my own business. What business degree would be best to help me accomplish my goals?

Erin asked:


Hi everyone! I’m in the process of starting my own photography business and I would appreciate and tips you could give me! Also, I’m looking for a name for my business. I was going to use my last name, but I’m in the process of getting married in the next few years and I don’t want to change my business name after I get married.
Any tips or ideas would be great! Thanks!

I’ve been at this restaurant since it opened, and we have never received tips. We have a tip jar and a gratuity line on credit card slips, but none of the employees are receiving tips, and they are saying that it is to cover employee meals, where when we had first started they said meals were free. now my question is this… is this legal? i mean, i feel like we’re stealing from the customer, since they think they’re giving it to the people serving them.

Frances asked:

I want to go to Law school for Business Law, but I know I need a four year degree in something else. I know getting a degree in Business is the most beneficial, but I noticed there were many different Business majors. So would the degree be Business- Pre-Law or Business Administration, etc.? I just need some help in planning this out. Thanks for helping!

I have been making jewelry, handmade, wire-wrapped, beaded… lots of fun but would really like to make it into more of a business. I have my CA sales tax id, looking for other “stuff” I need to do to get started. Any tips would be appreciated as well as loan type options. I have a good stock built up of gemstones and beads but need to build a website, buy display items, get into some craft shows… whew… exciting but running out of funding is my number one problem (have my circle of friends and family buying and one dealer who has picked up the line but still) I don’t know where to go or what to do. Any one with experience here who would not mind sharing their knowledge would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Please tell me if the following questions are true or false:

In most instances a subject line is an essential part of a business letter.

On an envelope the mailing address should always be single-spaced.

The main purpose of a business report is to provide information about a particular subject.

If a letter requires two pages, you should use letterhead stationary for both pages.

Interoffice memos are commonly used for communications circulated outside a company.

In the mailing address on an envelope, the name of the state must be represented by a two-letter abbreviation written in all-capital letters.

If you write and key the letter for yourself, you should use your initials as the reference initials.

If a letter is addressed to a company, you would use Ladies and Gentlemen as the salutation.

A comma should never appear between the state name or abbreviation and the ZIP Code number in an address

Thanks in advance.
