If you are a soft ware engineer and make 30 k per month people respect you. If you are working on internet and make the same 30 k will people give the recognition they give to the soft ware engineer?

Not really, only if you make around 100k + per month then people might say you doin something great on net, otherwise 30k is not a big deal and no one cares actually. and you cant be compare to a software engineer for sure. Regards

In my country a people who have 120 bucks a month has a job. I think blogging might give us more than 120 bucks a month.

I would say it really depends on how you're making $30,000 each month on the internet. If it's a legit and "respectable' field then I would say yeah, kind of. If not, probably not. I know people that sell e-books or do "deceptive" tactics to make a lot of money on the internet. Guess what? They're most definitely NOT respected or recognized in any manner.

I completely agree with your thoughts. People won't recognize or value you if you make a lot of moeny through internet business compared to other jobs. Yesterday, my room mate said that her friend who works for the famous jewelry store in my city ears the same as her; she is a software engineer. He also gets some additional pers like train ticket to home. He does much easier job compared to her and earns the same salary. But, a software engineer job is incomparable to a jewelry store assistant.
