Will I be extradited back to the United States in this case (From South Africa)?

Will I be extradited back to the United States in this case (From South Africa)?
To make a long story short, I am a native of South Africa, my family brought me to the United States in 1991 when I was three years old to escape from Apartheid that lasted until 1994 there. My parents returned there three years ago when I was 19, and I am the only member of my family remaining here. This is a very good country, definitly the land of oppurtunity, but now that my home country is free and more safe I want to return, especially now that I have inherited a large amount of money from my grandfather and in South Africa, I can live off the interest. (This money is in my bank account in South Africa) The problem is that I am supposed to start serving a 90 day jail sentence in September for an assault and battery charge. I received my inheritence two months ago, and quit my job and have been living on it thru bank wires while planning my trip back home. I was origionally going to do it in October when it starts to get cold, but since I live in a furnished apartment and there's not much to move other than myself, I'm thinking of just going in a few weeks. My fortune (1.9M USD) was not discovered during court proceedings and my passport was not revoked. I guess they didn't expect a person serving a simple 90 days in a county jail to make a run for it out to a different country. On such a minor crime, are they going to spend much time and effort and tax money bringing me all the way back?

Probably not, but you will spend longer than that in the South African jail before they decide not to extradite. Jail is free and you will not need the apartment. Do the time and then head out.
2 :
they could. they most likely wont bother with the extradition, it is usually used for high profile/serious capital crimes. your 90 day sentence won't be on the list of priorities. having said that, i would seriously reconsider not serving your sentence. if you dont, you turn a relatively short sentence into something more serious. you would technically become a "fugitive" and the US marshals would put you on their watch list. if you ever come back to the US, you will be charged with evading the law, and that will come with more serious penalties. if you're not a US citizen, then there are additional implications. seriously, ask a competent immigration lawyer as they can give you the best advice.

Having 2000 to invest is a very good start, with my limited knowledge on your country and without further information the best I could suggest woud be to make contact with an american retailer (poss online) and export novelty items which might be considered unique here in the states. Good Luck to you bud

try this it will help you THE PAYPAL 6 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD AS SEEN ON OPRAH EARN HUGE $$$$$$$$ I gave it a try, hey its only $6, I figured at least 6 people would respond out of the MILLIONS of people that use the internet. You should give it a try too! You have nothing to lose, and a whole lot to gain! A little while back, I was browsing through some interesting adds, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, it must be a scam", but like most of us,I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 though paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then place your own email address in the bottom of the list at ..6, and post the article in at least 200 news groups. (There are a lot) So after thinking about it, I went ahead trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except $6.00 small dollars, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it. It follows the same regulations as the "mailed chainletters, which according to the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!? Within days, I started getting money in my paypal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $24,641.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's Certainly worth $6.00. Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works? REQUIREMENTS: You must have a verified paypal account. If you do not have an account you can go to www.paypal.com...... and get a free account. I would suggest signing up for a business account because it does not limit you to the amount of money you can receive. Example: with a Personal account you are limited to receiving $500.00 a month and withdrawing $500.00 a month. And trust me you WILL be receiving more than $500.00 a month! Like i mentoined before In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with paypal (which may take a few days). STEP 1: Send, through paypal, $1.00 to each email on the below list. Make the subject of the payment "Email List" and in the comments, write "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST." What you are doing is creating a service by this and best of all you are not giving your address to anyone ... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! The email list: #1) corritobandito@hotmail.com #2) bearcat@keyway.net #3) christinaaj@gmail.com #4) value4u2@hotmail.com #5) hsweaney1224@hotmail.com #6) andydonovan_uk@yahoo.com STEP 2: Now take the ..1 email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up(6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc) and add YOUR email address (the one used on the paypal account) as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups, message board. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! For example: you log on to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com then you search with subject like ?millionaire message board? or ?money making message board? or ?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money making forum? or ?business message board? etc



Are there conservation-related jobs in South America or Africa to an American without a related degree?

Are there conservation-related jobs in South America or Africa to an American without a related degree?
I have a Bachelor's degree, but it's in business. I also don't have any relevant work experience. However, I don't care about making a lot of money, and I'm not picky about the exact type of job. I don't even know where to begin looking for more information, so thanks for any at all!

Good! But I think you can try to find a job from various non-profitable organisations for such kind of works. Even the Govt should have some department for this. I am sure this will be available in many countries.
2 :
You would most likely be able to find volunteer work with animals in countries in Africa and S. America, but if you want to be paid at all you would need a related degree. You might be able to get a job with your business degree working for an animal related organization or non-profit so that you would be helping animals but not necessarily working with them first hand. Take a look at these sites..they are mostly for people with degrees in this field..but they do occassionally post volunteer work and internships: http://wfsc.tamu.edu/jobboard/ http://www.osnabirds.org/on/ornjobs.htm

I doubt it. I've yet to hear of any poet who supported him/herself simply by writing and selling poetry.
3 :
you might win really big bucks if you join on-line contests like at www. poetry.com , however if you are looking forward for being a poet as a major source of income, it might not be advisable. poets really don't earn much money. and many poets write poems not really because of money but as a way of expressing themselves...
4 :
Not in a lifetime could you sell a poem on the web and make serious money. One approach to consider is to start your own website where you can publish your poems. If your website can attract a million+ hits a year, then you can sell the website or advertising space on it. If your poem is as good as you think it is, your fame will spread soon enough once it is published on the web. Fame can lead to serious money but is far from being a guarantee. Good luck
5 :
lol, no poem can make you money, and if you write to make money then it's not a poem... And sampling the bible does not count as a poem... I'm sure you believe your poem is good... we all think what we write and draw is good... but if it IS that good then why try to make money off it... you received free now give free. Beast,feast... what is the next line... "and the human flesh turned to YEAST!" Get a job if you want to make money, have your ever seen a rich artist.




Ways to make enough money to survive on Martial Arts?

Ways to make enough money to survive on Martial Arts?
Hi All, This is mainly a question for instructors or those close to it. I've been wanting to make my living from martial arts but in South Africa you can't charge much more than R250/month/student - the big muay thai place charges R400 but he's a self proclaimed 2 time world champion which holds some sway over people. I'd like to know if any instructors found ways of supplementing their income with other martial arts related ideas? I thought of the following: Ring fights (no problem, but not regular enough in SA), self defense courses in High Schools (anti-rape, anti-mugging etc) and maybe buying and selling (needs start up capital) - anything else? I'd need about 70 students to live comfortably and we all know how students come and go in martial arts (especially when training in MMA/Spartan Pankration - it's not easy) and 70 is a BIG number - I have about 25. Thanks, V The South African Federation of Pankration Athlima - Part of the International Federation of Pankration Athlima.

Well my trainer owns his own gym and he was the worlds #1 ranked SHOOTO fighter and he had a few wins in UFC as well. He followed the same strategies that you did too, high school programs *a must if you wanna spread your name* etc. Kids nowadays love to be trained professionally whether for self defence against a bully or to be used for bad purposes which a lotta people eventually grow out of. Also, watch the way you describe your advertisement as well. Convince the public that your classes are a great workout and provides them with the best self defense system there is and make sure that your environment is friendly and respectful a.k.a keep encouraging your students to push to their limits and beyond. Remember, even if the other Muay Thai guy is a world champion, his teaching skills might not be as good as yours. You gotta focus on getting the attention first and then making sure that your students will keep coming back. My trainer has had his students attend his classes for 7+ years *the majority of them atleast*.

I have been teaching traditional martial arts on my own since 1992 full time. It is very hard to make a living unless you understand the business side which includes how to market, present and hold true the integrity of your art but not "giving it away". I am fortunate enough to have a solid reputation in my area for teaching martial arts which has helped me to increase my income by adding self defense training seminars for women and children as well as getting government contracts to instruct law enforcement officers from time to time. At my dojo was also do fundraisers twice a year to help pay for equipment and insurance costs as well as raise some money for rainy day times which do happen. I also develop websites and do photography / marketing for other martial art schools all over the US which helps me offset my income but that comes second to managing and teaching at my dojo. I have one full time dojo, two part time dojo and a YMCA program running at this time with only two other black belts helping me. We cover about 45 square miles from dojo to dojo and our total student count is around 240. This also helps as we hold special seminars once a month for our student base that are serious about their training (10% of them). These students come to our main dojo to train once a month for $20 each in specialty courses such as knife tactical fighting, vital striking, street defense tactics and much more. Occasionally I bring in a special instructor and hold a seminar open to everyone that wants to come. These typically cost about $60 each person and I get 50% and the guest instructor gets 50% plus I take them out to dinner or make dinner for them. Overall these things help with making a living at teaching what I love but I also set my life in order to do so by not using credit cards, loans or living beyond my means. I spent the first ten years living in a small room in the back of my dojo until I could afford to buy a house. I could live on less than $1000 a month comfortably here in the US because I want to teach martial arts so I don't live a life of material possessions. The biggest advice I would give to you is that you set a plan down on paper. Know your goals, your demographics and plan accordingly. If the competing school in your area charges more than you then raise your rates to same as they have theirs. Regardless of style people will train where they feel the most comfortable at and if you are simply viewed as cheaper then it is possible that people will think you are not as good as the other school. My dojo is the most expensive to train at in my area because we are the only one that teaches full time but we also have credentials and qualifications that eclipse any other school in the area. It was not easy when I began but I had goals and plans and the dedication / discipline to achieve them. Good luck and remember that as an instructor you are always the student first.

nwohioguy has given a good and believable answer. I too have taught martial arts for many years. Most of them I owned a full time Dojo/business. It is very difficult to make a living teaching martial arts. If you check around, you will likely find that many of the so called successful martial arts schools are owned/run by a person that also holds a full time job. Another thing that can't be ignored is the market demographics. in the 1970's or 1980's (I forget which) Black Belt Magazine stated that in the U.S.A. about 80% of all martial arts students were children. I'll bet my boots that the number is closer to 85% now. All you have to do is look at the yellow pages advertisements in the phone book. Almost all show pictures of children, or mention childrens classes. Unless you have a serious childrens martial arts program, it is very difficult to even cover the bills. Unfortunately it is not practical to think that children are mature enough to learn realistic self-defense. Most are just playing karate. they have no concept of what a real fight is like. BTW I have yet to see anyone make enough money from teaching womens self-defense classes to make it worth while. 70 students is a lot of students for many martial arts schools. I know of at least 10 schools that have been around for many years that teach good martial arts, yet have an average of less than 25 regular students. And my experiences have been similar to something that nwohioguy said...... It seems that only about 10% of your students are going to be really dedicated. And that is true no matter how many student you have. Hope this helps! BTW nwohioguy........ I'd love to come teach a seminar at your dojo some time. ....
