Do you enjoy working online or offline?

I engaged in office job before but that's not my luck. I had a bad boss and salary. Although it was only USD200 a month, but yet it is enough for that particular $ month. Since 2009 I was not employed, I went online almost everyday to search for jobs. But I found that the payment is low just a few bucks but I kinda have freedom. So for you, do you try for the second time out there or stay at home worker?

I believe it all depends on how much time you are willing to put in! If you work at home in the internet doing variour jobs then you could make a fair amount of money. I believe if you work hard enough you could make more online then you do in a normal "office" job. It all really depends on time! I would start working online instead of using the internet to search for jobs! There are so many money making oppertunities on the internet!

I agree with you 13tyates. A lot of online workers made big bucks, some actually made more than what a senior manager in real job made in a fourth night. But all of this people devoted there time into online earning program and took years before they got the real benefit. If you want to make good money online, determine first what you really into and capitalize on that. But keep in mind that making good money online often require most of your time in front of the computer, patient and actually getting your brain in active thinking even when your about to go to bed for creativity.

I am a student still, and I did used to work at a fast food restaurant, which was definitely better pay, but also much more difficult in terms of time commitment. I prefer online work because I can work when I have the most time available.

Hi, Wong, I prefer office job. Though my pay is slow, I like to get along with my co-workers, and talk with them. That makes me a member of "society". I know we can get a lot of information online, but I prefer talking with them, getting info from them. It's so great! I also like freedom, so I seldom work overtime! (I cannot bear always working overtimes, but several times one year is acceptable.) That's maybe the reason my pay is slow.

I have to do both. I like to get out of the house to see a change of scenery. I am one of those people that will lose focus working at home or being at home all the time. I work part time and then do stuff online when I get off. It's a good balance and makes it easier for taxes and applying for loans to have a "real" job too.

Well, for now as a teenager, I tend to like both cause, working online cannot build up your reputation and resume, so you need to work offline, at a real job to gain that for your own reference, online money making is for extra money, to pay bills or so on, it also could be a beneficial way for the future too.

well, my business and working from home online is still yet a baby. so, i can't say that my business is my prime source of income. it's still my disability money. i am building and it's growing ever day. it's still only a couple of hundred dollars a month...not much to totally live on, yet. it will be. in the mean time. i would take working at home online over a regular job any day. anything you do takes work, i would rather it be for my own interest with my own business than for someone else. there are people who work regular jobs offline and still find it hard to pay their bills. now, that doesn't make ANY sense to me. i would rather struggle for myself and have it pay off later.

Since I work at home. I do all my work online. I wish I could work outside the home as it gets really old doing the same old thing and not having any co-workers that you have physical contact with. Working at home can be lonely and it has really started to get to me.

I would rather stay at home and work. This way I can set my schedule and have a balanced life. I feel going to an office job, one is saturated all day with whatever duties their job requires. I like to work a couple of hours, then go exercise, meditate, or some other constructive activity. Working at home allows me to balance my life in such a fashion. By the way if you know of any work at home opportunities I would be glad to hear about them. I am always on the look out for such things. Thanks.

I would LOVE to become an online worker, and even I am not pleased with my boss.. but as you all know everyone has commitments, so we all need to have offline JOB as well, as the earning online is not that gr8, I have also joined LIC( Life Insurance corporation of INDIA ) where in I get paid commissions on policy, just joined then 2 months ago and have done fine jon and will be getting paid $60 a month for the next 1 year... If I start making good money online I would LOVE to QUIT my offline JOB.

well offline jobs can pay more and some bosses are not that bad. you should look for offline work as hard as you look for online jobs. if the first offline job you tried isn't good then you can always try another one till you succeed or til you give up. what i am saying is you should do something that could really support you financially if you want your life to improve. but if you're okey with what you have now then i guess you can stick to what you are doing now with your online job.. it is really up to you.

I think both have their good and bad points. i have been working at home online now for about five years, but to be honest it can be a bit of a lonely affair. The only thing I miss about working in what I call 'the real world' is having great workmates and forging good relatioships out of them. Before I gave up work to start a family I was an estate agent in the UK and it was a brilliant job. I loved going to work everyday and it was a real wrench to give it up.

I love working online and it is what I want to do permanently. I am currently off work with an injury and I am unable to do the work that I have been doing. I hope to find enough online work to keep my bills paid and hopefully soon be able to not have to work outside the home.

As for me I rather work online all the time because I will be inside the house all the time. I can supervise my son's welfare everyday. I'm always be here and not outside working away from him. Online is definitely best suited for me. No boss...no cruel co-workers and don't have to travel everyday.

As far as I am concerned, I think I prefer to work online which is so enjoyable . Though I just can little from online job , I still enjoy it so much.Because it is so convenient and free to any thing as I want. There is no one can charge me to do something that I do not like. I can do things under my willingness. I think this is why I like online job most.

right now, I can see the advantages of working at home since I have two little boys who need my attention. I used to work in an office but I couldn't risk leaving my sons at home with the nanny so I decided to get online jobs. I started with a job that paid $320 monthly but alongside that i also accept research works which pay high as well. Now, I am in between "online jobs" but what I am doing is signing up in pay-to-write sites and hopes that everything goes well. I enjoy working online but I still want to work in an office someday, when my boys are big enough. By then, online works would be my extra income.
