Doing extra work: Tutorials

This sounds like nice work :) I hope you are enjoying yourself. Being a freelancer or work for a company are two different things with pros and cons to both. You mentioned the major difference in your post here: more money as a freelancer, "stability" when working for a company. Once you have experience, and know the niche you are working in, you can start build something of your own. Why not create a tutorial blog of your own while keep working at the company? Then it will grow, and when it gets big enough, people will notice you and might recruit you to make their tutorials...

Ummmmmmn... Well I think it's much better if you are affiliated with a company. You are rest assured that you will get regular students and stable income. It's true that you won't earn a lot if your working for a company so while you are earning money try to save it and start your own business. Probably a feasible business wherein you are sure that you won't be bankrupt. Good luck friend and happy earning!!

In my opinion, being affiliated with a school is better than doing tutorals on your own.as you said,doing it alone is not stable .sometimes you can earn little higher money than in the school.but earning extra money is not buying lottory.we can not expect hit the jackpot every time .
