    I am personally going to pursue Webmastering as my career but I am just wondering, who on this forum is a Webmaster full time and who is a webmaster on the side.

    If it is your side job, then what do you do as a career or what are you working towards?

    Full time for me.

    You can earn enough money to live on it but it needs hard work and dedication.

    Good luck buddy and read around DigitalPoint forums there is a wealth of help, advice and tips here. :)

    EDIT: Sorry I see how many posts you have, ignore my last line about reading around the forum. :p

    It's a part time thing for me. I'm currently a student, so I still have to keep up with schoolwork and everything. I barely spend any time on my sites now, anyway. :p

    Definitely a career for me.The good thing is that you'll have a good chance of improving your knowledge to other related careers such as website development and programming and the likes.

    Webmastering is a career, but I'm also a student on the side.
