With the economy today, jobs tend to be very scarce. So, with that being said I wanted to find out just what people do to earn money? Does anyone work a full time job? If so, what type of work? Do you use the internet to fully supplement you income? What kind of earnings do you have. I know a lot of people don't want to tell how much they make, but I'm just curious. I have worked in local jails for the last 10years. The jail I'm at now doesn't pay very well at all. We only make $26,000 a year. And for the area that I live in, that is one of the best paying jobs. Not good!!

In my country, unlike of almost all the others countries, the economy is improving and the world crisis are not affecting that much. But, money is never bad!
I'm still a student, so, I don't work, only online. I do it to buy my clothes, make up, purses and shoes. I'm kind addicted on those products!

I work as a tutor, helping students with math, English, and science. This is convenient because I work evenings and my husband works days, so one of us can be home with our child.

I actually have two part time jobs and I take surveys online to earn some extra cash. It is very hard and I can't imagine having to live by myself and have more bills to pay. I live with my mother and help her pay the bills but if I was by myself it would be so much harder. That's why I take surveys online to have something extra to help me. If I had to guess with the two jobs that I work I earn less than $16,000 a year. It's not much but now that I've graduated from college I'm hoping to get a full time job with a salary where I earn more than that.

I'm a student too and it's so bad not to win much money, but it's only in this short period of our lives right? At least I hope so! 
I work online too, but only for buying my own things this way my parents don't have to spend so much money with me.

I work online full time, I still build my network to earn more.....It was never easy, take a long time to get decent live just doing online for full time.
Here in my country, $26000 per years is good amount and get good live. Just working in local jail.

My wife works full time, but I haven't been able to find a job. So I stay home with the baby and work online. I work on a bunch of different sites, including TextBroker, Mturk, Triond, and more. I make about a thousand dollars a month from all of my endeavors, which isn't enough to live off of but does a nice job of supplementing our income.

Good for you!!!
just think about all the savings you are able to achieve only because you stay with the baby - amazing if you can realize it! This already makes up for at least another thousand . You can also use coupons sites, depending where you are. I use lots of coupons, buy almost nothing on retail price.

Wow! It is great to see men take care of children and that u are able to earn some income. I am a full time student and I work full time at a local jail, but I had put in my resignation in December to leave at the end of January, then they extended it through February. I plan on staying home to focus more on my class work for now and then I will have a new baby in September. It is good to see that someone is able to obtain the goals that I am setting. I do work on Textbroker some. That has been one of my favorite sites over the last few years. I hope it continues that you can remain home with the baby. Parental influence is always best.

I am in India. I tried many online stuff.Many are scams sucks your money and vanish, others are very honest but peanut companies. Then I tried MLMs. Bit ok I felt. I was into Amway. It didnt work for me. I tried Monavie. I was not satisfied. I am fully satisfied with trinity Noni with binary payouts.That too weekly payments. Life is good now. It really gives decent fat money.

I work, not a lot, use coupons a lot to save. I am a member in few forums and I get lots of tips on deals, savings and how and when to use coupons.It's amazing how much you can save. I also try to save in the house - electricity, water.
Try to throw out nothing. For example, bread that's dry, I use at fried meat balls.
There are also forums like this one that pay you every so many posts. If you're Canadian, you can email me privately and I'll let you know which one.

You must look for greener pastures pal. I believe that you only limit your job to one in the past 10 years when in fact, it does not pay you well. On the other hand, we will thank myLot for it gives us extra income while we are discussing our interests and responding to others' discussions as well. My advice would be to invest time in this site and you will see that your investment will have great returns later on. Just be patient.
Happy myLotting klw500!

I have only been at this location the last 3 of the 10th years. I had taken a pay cut in expectation of working others jobs like I did before. But the area I moved to just isn't a good area. Mostly farming. So, I enrolled in college and that has been great. While working toward my degree in Psychology, I get extra money from grants and scholarships. But I do need to earn more than just the money from school.

Only repeating the words "money, success and happiness" many times before going into sleep and found a suitable way to earn money in next some day's morning. Earn money with the comfort should be a mantra of happy life.

I'm retired but I still work a little now. I work for an online site, proofreading, handling blog problems and so on. Besides that, I write for sites like Factoidz and Yahoo and do some rewards programs. MyLot has been helpful to me in finding things where I can make a little without taking on a full or even part time job. I guess my income is at poverty level right now but I get by just fine!
