Regular job

[WaulML6]

How many of you work a regular job in addition to the online work. Just wondering.  Full time or part time?

I work full time at Taco Mayo as a shift leader. The best part about my job is that I can charge food. It's okay when it's just me, but my husband likes it too much. He will ask me to bring something home. Food charges really add up and you don't see it until you get your check.

I work 38 hours a week and go to school full time.
It's way too hard to juggle it all, so I'll be going down to part time school next semester.

thanks for your replies.  Don't know how you do it all.  Keep up the great work!

I haven't worked a real job for over 12 years and have no plans to change that EVER!

I work full time - 60 hours a week.  Fusion Cash is a hobby.

Full time regular job.  You cannot get rich fast online.

a job in your field is easy!

Of course I have a real job outside the internet. I can't see how anyone could do this for a "job"

I work full time in a law firm.

I consider my regular job being a stay at home mom and homeschooling my 6 kids. I also am a Pampered Chef consultant- I just started and I'm doing pretty well so far.

I work a full time job and a part time job. I also have 2 home business, one is very seasonal and very small, the other I probably put 20 hours a week in.

For me, keeping a regular job is like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.

I'm going to school part time.  I love learning more about computers.

Being self employed at home where I experience a sense of freedom is a pretty good fit for me.

I don't need that much to live on. The money I make for clicking goes into an emergency fund I am building. I make everything else by selling stuff online. I'm in the process of building an emergency fund, then building a business fund (so I can buy more stuff to sell), and then saving enough to live off of for at least 6 months. I'm lucky, though, that I don't have a huge house payment and the bills are small. I attribute a lot of that, though, to making good decisions:

I don't have kids to take care of.
I don't have a mortgage, did not see the need to move into another house.
I don't have any credit card debt
I never go out to party/get drunk/spend money eating out/use drugs
I don't have a car payment, nor an expensive car to have to buy parts for
I grow a good portion of the food we eat, and the rest is pretty basic (You'd also be surprised at the amount of food people just throw away.)
We are working on ways to decrease our bills. Our heat is gas, but we're going to switch to wood since there is a lot of good free sources around. We are also looking into cheap and free alternative energy.

In fact, I wouldn't even need to work nor make money at all and we could survive. I do enough of the chores, yard work, building for my dad to justify my staying here (if I left, things would be a lot harder on my aging father so I don't see it as mooching off of him.) Again, though, I'm lucky enough to have this sort of situation but at the same time a lot of bad situations are a result of poor financial decisions.

And yet, I am making money. I am doing PTCs, I am doing surveys, I am selling stuff online, I am building a business, I am saving money, I am working each and every day. Because although we are in a good situation, no matter what you do, something bad can happen. This is essentially what being reasonable means.

So no, I don't have a regular job. Because I don't see getting a job (I should say, attempting to get a job) as being any more secure then starting a business with no debt and building something from the ground up. As long as I am saving most (if not all) of my money and investing it, my future will be easy and I'll have cushion for when things go bad.
