For me its definitely 9-5 job .Because I think we can never earn our living just by earning online.Although most of the people put there are doing so but my vote is still for a regular 9 to 5 job .What about you ?

Office work still for me. Thats my bread and butter. Online work, this is my past time and enjoyed discussing things with other people. Right now, I earned only less than $3 and this is for almost six months. I can go with my online things but not my bread and butter.

Regular income is always better than temp money that we get from online earnings.At least it is guaranteed income :).You can rely on it but you can not be completely dependent on your online earnings.

I would definitely prefer an online job. I used to work 9 to 5, but the situation with having a boss got too much for me. I dont want any p[aid outside the home job, because I dont want anyone in charge of me. A pity that online work pays so little.

Many people do not like to take orders . I also find myself among those.But then those jobs offer regular and guaranteed source of income.Unlike online jobs where one can only gain a few bucks after we put in a lot of time and effort.

I'd prefer any job that really allowed me to set my own hours and work the way I wanted without too many people above me that are telling me to follow strange rules and answer to them about everything that I do. Online work would be nice if I could find a lot of nice places that would pay me to do nice work, but it's rather tough. So I guess I'm stuck doing online things for little pay and trying to figure out what kind of jobs I want to do later.

Each has its benifits. With a regular 9-5 job you have a guaranteed paycheck, at least for as long as you are with the company. But the earning potential is limited to what the higher ups say you are worth to them. Online jobs take a little while to earn a living, but if you get into the right business for you, and work hard at it, the earning potential is unlimited, plus you get to set your own hours, and work at your own pace without someone standing over your shoulder. And there is no morning commute. I have worked in both, and I have to say I like online better.

Yes, the income is guaranteed in 9-5 job but it will not be that much.If you compare it with online job then you might find that after spending a lot of time in that you might be earning more than your regular job but that income can never be stable and guaranteed like your regular job.Like freelance jobs , people get hired for projects and when they are done , they look for other projects.

Online is better if you can live from what you earn, however, I am not able to support myself financially with my online earnings. But it is my goal at the moment to achieve stable online income.

Yes it takes some time to develop an online reputation so that you get regular work and regular income but that also when you are highly skilled .For example a web programmer or designer gets a lot of work and that also on regular basis ,provided that he is highly skilled.

My husband supports my family he works over 50 hours a week I like doing online stuff but what I do would not be enough to entirely support my family I don't think I would like a 9-5 job it would seem like the whole day had passed you by right now I work a couple nights a week for 3 to 4 horus at Subway just to get out of the house for awhile I had been a stay at home mome for almost 5 years. The problem with not bringing in a normal paychek is you are not paying into social security and when you retire your check will be almost nothing you have to think of the future too.
