Freelance job..or One Fulltime job...what is your choice?

for six years, i used to have two jobs. i work from 8 to 5 and then report to another job a 6 till 10. i love to work, i guess i am a workaholic. but this time, since i lost my second job over a year ago, i only have one regular job. good thing i have internet at home now. i can still mylot until i get tired.

Hello again my irresistible bonita mia, i like your question i think it is related on my last posted topic..well of course I like freelance job that suit my lifestyle because I would own my time, no pressure at all from any other things you would like to do but earning a lot. Actually, until now i am still searching whatever legit site that would give me a good extra income..i found few but it is still remain to be seen...i will share it to you in PM..thanks bonita mia...keep it up...

For me I have job not a full time job but I love my job and I find another job by four ours a day so that I have more extra money.

Hi jaiho, your idea also crossed my mind and from my experience as a freelancer, I believe it's pretty difficult to earn money online. I think that my online job could only work for me as a extra income. But maybe if i'ma blogger or a web developer then i would earn more. Given a chance I will find an online job which pays every hour, let's say $5 per hour then maybe I could make this freelance job as a career because by then i will be earning more. Honestly I enjoy working online. It is like being free spirited and doing jobs you get paid without the prying eyes of your boss. But the catch is it aint that easy earning from online jobs. I just wish there will be a solution to this kind of problem with earnings. Right now, even if I have a job already in freelancer, i'm still looking for more jobs on Elance and Odesk...still hoping for a more extra income until the time I could say, Freelance job can be my Fulltime job. Nice topic you started here jaiho...happy mylotting.

I am doing both at the same time. I work as an engineer as full time job and in night i write articles as a freelancer. I am fresher so at starting i am in struggle but in future i will be earning more then may be i will prefer for the full time job or may be some kind of my own business. Well freelancer job is good enough and I try to take out time for it as much as I can to write.

In fact ,i like all of them,i can learn a lot from it and i know that money is a very important factor to face such kind of question.

i would always want to be a freelancer. aside from the time, i'll be my own boss. you wont be following orders from a higher rank who is sometimes younger than you are. not to mention, those colleagues who are annoying inside the office. it turns a good mood into a bad day. while its true you have a monthly income being employed but that will always be fixed. it wont increase anymore (unless of course you work into so many overtimes). unlike a freelance job, you can even earn higher than the highest ranking manager in an employee. but of course it always come with a good attitute when it comes to work. happy mylotthing jaiho2009

I am self-employed doing freelance photography work. I also work as an independent contractor. This time of year I do wish I had a "regular" job. Why? Because neither of my jobs take taxes out! So now that it's tax time I'm analyzing everything I've spent money on the past year and seeing what I can write off. It's such a hassle! But the alternative is paying the government money that I don't need to! But yes, this time of year I do envy people that have a regular job that takes taxes out every paycheck.

I think a full time job is always my choice. It is nice to have a stable full time job that assures you that each payday you have money to withdraw from your ATM account. Freelance job can go on the sides as additional income. That has always been my situation and it is working well for me.

Full time job is always my option. There is less security in case of freelance jobs compared to full time jobs. Full time jobs atleast give you 30 months notice so that you can searach for a different job in that period. I like to do freelance job as part time since I live alone now and I have a lot of time which I waste just by sleeping and watching TV.

Fulltime job - Fixed time, guaranteed monthly salary (most of it). Freelance job - Variable time, Income based on effort (most of it also). A mixed of both is best for those who can afford doing both. But of course i would prefer freelance if it generates higher possible revenues then fulltime job. Currently i do both because my fulltime job allows me to do the freelance jobs (I work in a cyber centre so i can do online job too) Seriously, i really like freelance job.

Both models have their own pros and cons. If you are confident enough , can generate and accomplish lots of things on your own, you can certainly choose freelance. Otherwise you can go for full time job.

i like to a frelance job.i dont hope that i work 8 hours a day in an office.sometimes i feel limited for working in an office.i hope that i have owned place to work and make me think alone.because i think that the human's life is limited,i hope that i have another time to do what i want and make an attmept to do another job.i find that many thing has interest for me.i would be willing to make an attempt.so i like to freelance job and have free time to do what i want.

hello jaiho, I really prefer having a full-time job but, it would be fantastic if I got to do both. I have a regular job which is an 8 hour type of work and I have overtime every Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy with my job and I am satisfied with the benefits and salary that I received. Although working at home is a great idea but it seems a bit hard and the opportunity is not as huge as with my current work. Maybe because I haven't been really focused on doing any freelance/online job. But you know, If given an opportunity I would be grateful to do home-based jobs and it would be so cool if I can earn a lot from it. Happy Lotting!

I personally really enjoy freelancing in that it gives me the ability and freedoms to make my own schedule.

Hi Jaiho, I have account in getfreelancers and Odesk both are best freelance job sitesbut i haven't been able to be active over there.I had bid with some jobs but i think,its very difficult to get a start.And also its very tough to work.Am not an online earner and so i prefer Mylot first as here we get paid for doing some thing very interesting to me.But in the case of online jobs i think,its not a easy task to earn. Have a Great Day.
