But I should write a motivation letter why I am choosing that university as a host university for my program. I don't know how to write it. I am good at cover letters but it will be the first time I will write a motivation letter.

>"can i get a job teaching at a junior college with a masters in finance?" Sure, if your picked from everyone else with a Masters applying! There are a lot of us out here with Masters degrees that are applying for these coveted adjunct teaching gigs. Also, what makes you think you can teach? As an adjunct instructor myself I know there's more to teaching than just showing up and handing out tests. It's hard work with little pay. You actually have to explain things and know your stuff. I do it because I enjoy it, not because it's a job or I can get rich! "junior colleges", boy have you been out of school for a long time! You mean the Community Colleges? >"don't know how to find the job listings for junior colleges." They post them online! By the time the general population sees them, the colleges already have their short-list of candidates! If your waiting to find a "job listing" from these institutions you'll be collecting Social Security first! Here's a piece of advice, if your that interested, go down to the Community College(s) and introduce yourself. Try providing tutoring to the students. It's called networking! Is this your first time being unemployed in last 20+ years? Consider going back to school yourself to update your skill sets, especially your computer skills!

There is a plethora of different Finance positions. The most prominent would probably be a Portfolio manager(based on salary and market competition), but I would definitely research your options. One thing to consider would be your major. I'm not sure how majoring in Economics is beneficial to a career in Finance. Sure, they have similarities but differences as well. Key thing, Economists deal with possibilities and Financiers deal with meeting those possibilities.

Compare the interest rates on the loans with the return you could make on the money elsewhere. For example, if you're paying 5% interest on a loan, but you can make 7% in an investment, you're better off investing the extra money than paying off the loan. That's especially true of a home mortgage, because you get a tax deduction which effectively reduces your interest rate. Also for that reason, it might make sense to put extra payments to the car loan before the mortgage (if you decide to make extra payments at all).

There's a lot more information here that's needed: Paying your mortgage earlier may not be the best option for you. If you have a nice income, you may enjoy the tax credit for mortgage interest. Paying it early may free up more income, but may cost you at tax time. The money you put into your equity remains yours, you may end up paying the same amount of interest in the end regardless of speed. Check your mortgage paperwork for prepayment details. How old and what kind of car? IMHO money invested into a car is money poorly invested unless its a collectable or an exotic, and even then it's a risky investment. If you are planning on retiring in 5-10 years you might consider saving and investing the $400.00 extra per month. Current reports show that most Americans do not have enough savings to provide for their future. An extra $25k or so prudently invested could be that extra cushion that you and your family needs to make your future dreams come true. Good luck! I run the Debt Reduction Foundation, Inc. If you have a problem with large unsecured debts (15k+), we may be able to help. Give me a call at 888-221-2711 and ask for the Director. If I can't help you, I'll be sure to point you in the right direction.

Do you have a small emergency fund? Say $500-1000? If not, set that up first. Next, use the $400 to pay off the car - it probably has a higher interest rate. Even if the home loan has a higher interest rate, pay the car first, because you can deduct mortgage interest from your income taxes, but NOT the interest on the auto loan. Once you pay off the car, make sure you have 6-9 months of expenses (not salary, not take-home) saved up for big emergencies (like getting laid-off). Finally, use any extra money to pay off the house. We paid off our $20,000 auto loan in 20 months by paying an extra $400 every month and putting bonuses and overtime towards it, too.

It depends on what you're interested in. did you do any internships through out your degree? you could apply to graduate roles in accounting and consulting firms or investment banks. Finance is quite broad so there are more than a few options. see this site for more guidance. http://www.efinancialcareers.co.uk/ or if you're in the US http://www.efinancialcareers.com/
