    2. No company perks
    3. Lack of Life Beyond Cyberspace
    4. Lose The Ability To Communicate Beyond Blog Commenting, Emails and IM

    I don't want to risk my life to become a problogger. I wonder that my life will be that dull.

    But is being a blogger any better or worse than someone that works in a factory doing a repetitive job 8 hours a day? In that case I think that being a blogger would be better!

    If you don't want to be a blogger then don't. I don't think you've seen both sides of what you are talking about.

    really? Why do we want experience? So that we'd get better paying jobs, right?

    Remember, being a problogger, you're not 'covered' medically. having a strong and reputable company (not your own company) you can have all the benefits.

    experience in this case, let say adsense is dead, what are you going to do?

    All it counts is making money and making what you love

    I prefer the combination and if bloging is this why not ....
