Am I going too far? Honest Opinions please..

    For those who do not know me, I am a student right now and the law tells that "A Student Should Study :rolleyes: ". No grudges with that... I do study a bit, only a bit and manage everything before final examinations and all. It has just been the last 3 months or so, I have almost been addicted to so called "Online Earnings"

    At present, I cannot think of leaving this and in the due course I have made my earnings in total cross half a thousand mark but that has been done by almost a huge effort and staying online for hours and getting my eyes turn red. I am not complaining of anything, though there are lots to complaint, but I just want your honest opinion...Please

    The fact is that I need to study hard for an examination which is coming in November this year for further studies. Recession is here, so I am not expected to be left only with a bachelors degree... a masters degree should be somewhere beside you for a safer side. What I want to ask you all is plain and simple: "Should I leave all this stuff?" I want to concentrate on studies and the combination of both the things do not work at all for me.

    I may be losing some couple of dollars everyday(thats my average) but I don't want to lose my offline bigger and much better career in making. I am desperately trying hard and harder to decide but cannot. May be you can help me.... Should I quit? If yes, how do I quit being online here in DP, working and trying hard to find a job, trying new ways, discovering new things online..... And one thing is there... If I do not fare well or moreover extremely well in my exams, I am gonna get a lot of taunts and nasty remarks from the cruel society in which we live...They have some high expectations from me, specially my parents and myself. I have high expectations from ME !

    I guess I am messed up and if someone there had any time to read my post completely, I would be thankful to you for your advice. Advice from seniors would be great... Do say something and give an honest opinion... What do I do ?

    Just quit for now, Try selling all your websites and just start it all again after you get a job.

    I know how you feel, because I'm a student too, and I know the pressure of exams and being online too, sometimes I don't know which one to do, but i say don't give up your studies man, since your parents have expectations and stuff and don't leave being online completely at the same, time because you've worked hard for it... I'd still say give first preference to your studies :)

    Spend half time to making money online and another half time to your studies.

    It is your capacity to balance between study(career) and online earning .
    Many people face such problems, not many people can handle it well . Good luck .

    You perhaps yourself do not realize that offline job and earnings are more important to you and it would be in your own interest to follow the direction of your own mind.

    Concentrate on your studies and finish it up first. Money can never be an excuse or alternative for good knowledge and skill.

    maybe sit down and make careful planning to divide your time between your school and career you dont need to give up on either of them

    Know that school is your plan of stable income -- its what puts food the tables..
    Websites are your investments -- its what bring added wealth..
    You need education--- its a must to survive in todays world

    I am glad I have posted this here. DP is surely a friendly and a nice place. Thanks a lot, Rightman. I think I should follow up what you said. Thanks Inkrepid, phpwnes, buldozerceto, justin, brum35, korrupt, micheal, nihang and aneel.

    I have decided to cut this down slowly, and will now be online only for 2 hours at max. And yes, I will try to manage it together. Hopefully. Thanks for helping me out guys !
