Aside from earning online do you have another job. Is it your part time job only? I have known someone who is a bachelors degree holder already and make the earning online a full time job. He does not practice his course he is focusing on online job by his computer. He always facing the computer because according to him that is his job. I wonder why he is interested on it than his course that he taking up. Because he can look for a job on a company or other job. But he chose the working online only. If that is the case then his degree is wasted. In your opinion also what is the disadvantages of focusing only on earning online?

I would love to make a living online but except for a year where I was getting a lot of freelance writing jobs I've been forced to do other work to pay the bills. I love being at home, not having to answer to a 'boss' except for myself, and the freedom of being able to work when the time is best for me not a time clock.
As for the person with the degree - if he wasn't happy with the work he was doing then I dont see any problem at all with his working online as long as he is happy.

I can't really think of any disadvantages for myself but am sure there are for some:
Must be self motivated
Must enjoy working alone
Must find outside socializing opportunities
Must be devoted to what you are doing
For myself - I have all of those but someone who doesn't have those things will more than likely fail at working from home, online, or won't be happy.

If you're earning surpasses your earning on your day job, it's time to quit that day job. If you are still starting online, keep your job for the meantime.
Just be practical. If you have the will, you can start your online business just like my dad who launched his internet business for Filipinos!

so you mean that if your earning online is more than your job earning then you will quit to your job. But for me i will still go to my job because there are many benefits on it aside from the salary and it will also increase. for me online job is for part time only for spare time. Anyway what is the website of your dad?
