And why do you choose it? sharing your reason here

If you are getting a bigger leverage on your offline job then stick with it and do good. but if you are getting pay at par with your on-line job I would say that you pursue the on line job because there are more stuff that you can harness and learn to increase your earning potential. right now I prefer doing offline job and make this on-line stuff as I wish.

This is where you balance your decision. If you really need to decide on choosing one, then you should consider all the factors:
1. will this suffice your daily needs.
2. yes this will make you happy but is happines enough.
3. If you fail upon choosing the job what is your back-up plan.
Hope this help a lot

Well, we cannot quit our offline day jobs anytime now, can we?
Unless, of course, you are telling me that the online job is making more money than the offline ones does.
So taking time off from the online job from time to time is necessary in order to put the right amount of efforts into the day job. Cos that is what puts food on the table.
To me, the online earning opportunities at this moment, is more of a hobby than a job. If I earn a little more from my online activities, it is a bonus. But at the moment, I am not sacrificing my day job for my online earning activities.

Well, till the day comes when I can earn more online than offline, I will never consider the option of quiting my offline job for my online one.
But that is a goal I can look forward to.
It would be really nice to be able to sit in the comforts of my home to earn an income. No more hour long commute. No more waking up early in the morning to prepare for the office. No more nasty deadlines.
Woah~~~! Dream come true!

I have never done any online or offline job so I am not very sure that which one is better. I think an offline job would be better than an online one. So I would prefer an offline job.

oww feel sorry to hear that, if we already live in marriage life, as a woman, i think giving more time to kids is one of the important things to consider to have a job ...

yup if we do online job, it is just like opening our own business and we can freely work anytime, and in anyplace

I feel I have the best of both worlds because my offline job and my online job allow me to work from home. I am free to set my own schedule as long as my work is completed on time.
I don't look at mylot as a job though. It is a friendly place I stop by when I need to take a break from my daily work.

Hey max! If I had the choice of which job would I prefer, I'm
sure I would prefer to have an offline job again! Of course
you make more money working at an offline job! I did that for
over 35 years! But, right now I am not able to work so I
try to make some money online and it isn't easy and you can
spend hours at it and make almost nothing! So if you do have
a "real" job stay at it and concentrate on it and don't worry
about being online! It is more important to make money where
you can!

I prefer my offline job because I like web development. Also this job gives me enough money to meet my expenses while online job like mylot and other sites pay us very little as compared to offline jobs.

hello maxilimian
i would rather have an online job any day of the week and have the pleasure of sitting at home doing so. but i haven't been able to make enough money online to pay any bills or anything like that with. well i will take that back, i used to have another screen name here at Mylot, and i got banned because i posted a homemade decorated cake with somebody's name on it and the next thing i knew, i couldn't log onto my Mylot account. no warning from Mylot, no nothing. so i waited awhile and created another Mylot account, this one i am working under right now. anyways, i went for the $100.00 payout around here at Mylot and i did get that money, and what i did with it was go to the Dentist. so other than making the $100.00 online that one time, that is the most money at one time that i have ever cashed out before. it took me around three months to get that money. i had a good friend here, her name was oneandonemakesix and she got banned from Mylot as well. i have no idea what happened to her Mylot account.
take care and have a beautiful evening.

I'd like to do the online job coz my offline job does not give me enough. Which one to choose depends on which gives me more. And the job stability is more important as well. I think we'd be better off having both jobs.

having 2 job is more good, but it is so hard to do the both job on the same time, they need their own focused, work for money or something else? did you enjoy your job?

hi maxilimian.. i dont prefer working online. cos i think it will limit my working xperience instead of knowing new things. and yes its quite distructing to be working on line as you would surf on the net instead of finishing what you have to accomplish

I should say I am a newbie for online jobs. I just started this Year of the Ox and I am so new to this kind of sideline. I guess right this moment, I'd prefer offline over the online job. For me, the former is much stable. You get to meet and interact with people face-to-face and the possibility of getting bored is less. Online jobs are less stable because they only rely on internet. If you have problems with your ISP or computer, you won't be able to work. Same thing happens when there's no electricity(unless you have a generator at home). In other words, there's a lot of risk when you work online. Of course, there are still some advantages of working online than offline but for me, the positive sides of an offline job outweigh those of an online job.

I guess there's so much people who prefer to do offline job, your reason shows another consideration to choose offline job, which is better

I work online, and I'm so glad I don't have to get up and leave the house every day. I do a few different things online, so I know what you mean about losing concentration. I have to separate things according to the time of day or I just can't get into them.

I have been a member of myLot for a long time and never really thought of myLot as a job, sure I did try a lot of online income related programs, I mean who doesn't want to make some extra money to have little better life style or to save it for a rainy day. However I can't concentrate much on these activities as I do have an offline job but lucky for me that its online related so I get to use the net and do my work and sometimes answer a discussion or two on myLot. I haven't given up the hope to have an substantial online income and am in one of the phases to make it a reality, I could have done it sooner if it wasn't for my current job but then again I wouldn't have been able to succeed a long way down the road if I didn't have this job, don't give up hope and keep trying when you do get a little spare time as you never know what might work for you.

neither the two. because i have only a little spare time to go surf the net so i have a minimal chance of increasing my earnings. i usually increase it by cents..but i enjoyed doing things like this because it gave me time to enjoy more my son and at the same time i do get the chance to earn. (hope that i will not bump into scam sites)
