I am working as secretary to the president of a university. i just thought of putting up a caregiver school. but i still have my hesitations. my husband is into garments manufacturing industry. i dont know. competition is tough. i stick with the school but as i have said, i am still hesistant. dont know if i am ready to take that risk.

Put it into a high yield CD.. and leave it there... before you try to invest it.. you need to do some research.. you need to know what you are getting in to.. try an Orange Account from ING...

School might be a hard one. The licensing and accreditation will probably eat your money fast enough before you can get your one student. The lease alone and marketing will take a big chunk of your money.

Accreditation will help you get the financial aid for students which in turn becomes your income. I know a little about it because I was approached by someone to invest in his "graphic design" school.

He told me it was like pulling teeth getting the financial aid I believe it was for the job training program. I'm not sure what the actual terminology. Sometimes the student has already graduated and they still got the money.

Just a few thoughts on that area. However, don't give up. Keep thinking. Maybe a real estate investment of some sort. Something to hold for a while.

Do you guarantee the 5%, per month, of return? Be careful with claims like that.

[youngmarketplace]

Well I can guarantee a 100% in 14 months. But we are only seeking $15,500. PM me if you are interested.

Speaks wise words, better have it doing something while its doing nothing. CD's is the way to go right now.

[edwardhalim]

I agree with roger in opening an orange account at ING

we have been doing this with a client already

Invest in a high-yield savings account or ladder some CD's. At least until you determine what, if anything, you want to invest this money into. It's not a bad thing to keep money in savings, especially if you don't have a lot in savings right now (1 years living expenses). Or, as always, consider investing in your retirement, if you don't have strong retirement accounts right now.

[BusinessAdviser]

It all just depends on your financial situation, age, goals, future plans, risk preference, interests, etc.
