I am stuck with the two. I am working as a blogger and as a tutor now with a sideline of small business. I got a good pay from it earning more than the income of my teachers and other professionals but other people seems to degrade the job like you are just a tutor and all that stuff.
I am really confused of what to choose. I want to apply in a company or perhaps teach college but the pay is not that good. I am the breadwinner in the family and i need a huge income but to be honest, i envy my classmates who are now teaching. I like the job and i also love to blog and to be a tutor and to have a business. Jaaahhh...i am really confusing right? Please help me clear my mind. I also like to work in a good company or perhaps work abroad.
Please, please...

maybe you should try teaching for the sake of trying it. Besides, you don't really have to give up the other sources of income that you have. Blogging can be done at home, after working. Tutorial can be arranged as well. At least, give yourself a chance to have a feel of what you've been wondering about, for, probably a long time already. If you find it not to be what you really want, then quit and go back to the life you enjoy more. At least you won't have to think of the 'what if' forever. Good luck!

I won't lie to ya... Sometimes with the responsibilities, we have to make sacrafices... I mean I'd love to do somethings that didn't pay as much as the job I have now but the reality of it is, I have a daughter & a girl friend who lives with me... I do have to make sure they're taken care of... I could keep something on a side as a part time job but for the main income part, I hate to admit it but I would have to say money plays a big role...

Well, if you will be employed in a company you have an advantage than working as a tutor. When you have employer, you have benefits like medical,retirement benefit, sick leave , vacation with pay, etc. But when you are having your own business, you have to pay for everything. You have no benefits unless you will apply to have one for you.
Being an employee in a good company has a great advantage, that is for my idea. But if you feel it good to work without a boss, or you want to work as you are your own boss.. that is good too.
Good luck!!!
