Many people these days prefer to stay in front of computer and make money online than to have a job with a long and stressful schedule.What do you think about this?Do you think this is a better way to make money than to work?

Hi, By asking, Do you think this is a better way to make money than to work?, are you implying that making money online isn't work? For some people, making money online IS work, and is just as valid. I'd prefer a less stressful job whether it was online or offline. More importantly, and above all that, I'd prefer to be doing something I truly enjoy (again, online and/or offline).

At the moment I am doing both. I have a job offline and I also work online. I think that there are many positive things about working online and I love the freedom that I get from that kind of job. As long as I have access to the internet I am able to work whenever I choose, and I think that is very nice. I can work as many hours as I choose, take breaks when I want etc. Unfortuneately I don't make as much money online as I do in my offline job, and giving up my offline job isn't really an option.

Having a good job would be nice but i prefer to make money online. There is a lot of accomplishment and self worth and satisfaction to be working online. You only have yourself to answer to. This in itself is a great reward.

I would prefer to make money online, if I could pay all of my bills and have a little left over. As of right now, that is only a dream.

I do have a full time job, but yet, I still like to spend time online to make some extra income to supplement. There are ofcourse different ways to make money online, some need investment and some don't. I stay with those which don't need investment. My favorite way is writing online, articles, short stories, reviews, commentaries, and so on. There are sites which pay for those.

Unfortunately and honestly I think both are necessary. I really enjoy working online and earning money online but I don't earn nearly enough for it to be my only income. If I were actually able to earn as much as I do at my full time job then yes I would probably choose to work online with my own schedule. Plus it would be nice to have that option to work at home. As of right now though my full time job helps support our family and my online earnings are for me - part of my spending $! Works out just fine this way for us :-)

Well , people often forget the benefits of having a job in an officer for example. You have collegues and relations there you also can ask for help or instructions if needed, if there's a good environment at your work I would prefer a ordinary job. Working online at hme can be depressing and lonely too.

If I could make enough online, I would choose that only. Because of the freedom and because I would be able to work from home. But of course, it does have it's downsides too. But I have been working for others for 10 years in offices now, so I would want to try something different because of that.

I completely agree with sridarshika. We stay at home moms cannot afford to go to office and work. So the next alternative is to work from home. And if it is online, then there are a wide range of jobs as well as businesses available. We just have to be careful and choose wisely as well as be willing to put in time and effort.

my job is stable and it provides for my family, though it requires long hours of work i love doing it--making money online is some kind of stuff i do to earn extra cash and at the same time enjoy doing it

Depends how 'good' this good job was. If it payed well enough to make me rich then yeah otherwise no, if it was a job that I dearly loved then I would have the job. Online jobs are just as stressful, the only difference is the stress is taking place in a different location - your home. This may make you HATE your home, unless you're having a successful online business/job ;)

I would prefer to be at home . I had surgery near my spine years ago and cannot stand for long periods of time but I can't afford to go on disability . I keep trying to make enough on the computer but all I get is a little here and there from different sites . So,I have to work outside the home until I find a better way

I think if anyone can make enough money online to support themselves and have the things they want, that online work is great! I love being able to work online and the freedom that comes with it.

Been working in a bank for the past 14 years and finally resigned just to earn online. I'm enjoying it to the hilt because I earn whenever I want to, how much I want to, without ever leaving my kids alone. My kids are also enjoying earning with me as well. Discovering online earnings is the best discovery ever!

I like working online more than I did my job that I had, it's much more flexible and I can work on my own time. I'm not making loads of money yet, but I'm going to become good at making money online so I don't have to work as much.

For me it is better to make money online than to have a good job because i can spend more time with my family. no transportation and food that i need to consider and if you're just hardworking you'll earn more and lastly you're the BOSS.
