    hmm , i never needed any job .. i have never done job in my life .. i got my first cheque a day before final exams of college degree .. and then cheques keep coming fromalmost 2 and half year clock wise ... now money is not a problem for me at all ... and i am full time affiliate ... but i dont work full time . just 1 or 2 hrs a day .... but now i am planning to get any job , not because of money . but for following things .
    1. internet jobs makes us lazy , you wake up and sleep whenever you want ,
    2. lonliness , you are free but other peoples on this earth are not free like you to spend all da time with you .
    3.Status in society , i am still not able to explain what i do to other peoples ... they still think i sit and home and do nothing ..

    But you are about as wrong as you could possibly be.

    Cheers.

    I have 22 years and i'm a student but i make my own living for about 2 years working online (as a freelancer) and from a few months trying to make money with sites (why to just make sites and seo for others and not for me olso) so i never got a real job and i still don't plan to .
    My luck is that i'm in a poor country like Romania and my monthly internet revenue about 1k-1.4k $ is just like 5 medium salarys so i'm very good i love the internet hope it will make me the richest man in this country :) i hope to reach 3k $/month that is my goal so i can have a nice life with my family
    I think is posible more easy in a third country then in a developed country

    I've never had a job but I would like one in the future.
    My websites will make me a full income (already at $1000 AUD a month - nearly, and I still have 2 years left of school).

    When i figured out whats possible with the internt i also wanted to only work at home. Now i dont think so anymore. I am currently working for the ambulance driving people with cancer and so on and i get to hear alot of stories how these people got that deseases. Out of nowhere mainly. Since i am about to build up a family i dont want to waste all my time trying to make a living off of my online activities. I know that i can never get enough, so incase i make 10,000 dollars a month someday i will still set higher goals.

    So i decided to at least have a part time job besides my online stuff. I surely will not go into a 9-5 job again, but probably becoming an advanced driver for the ambulance (you have loads of free time) or i simply drive taxi from time to time. I love driving and nature and if i stick in front of the comp all day my social live will not be here anymore one day.

    My health is not the best since i am a heavy smoker (with 21 years of age) and therefore its not my ultimate plan to just work online in the future.

    Plus, i hate the internet nowadays. Of course making money has never been that easy with all the various programs out there, but then again it was much more fun back in 1999, when i started with all my stuff. The net was more clean, spam email was rare, less competition, more fun, less technique, good domains still available and no blogs. The net gets overflooded with useless blogs.

    I wasn't 9-5, I was more like 1-9 :p

    I just quit last June from a customer service call center job. My girlfriend quit hers at the same time. And it has been much more fun and exciting since the predictable mind numbing routine is gone. Our living expenses are low so we only need to make about $1200 a month to live comfortably. We don't need to worry about supporting kids, just 4 cats :D

    I support everyone else who wants to liberate themselves and make their living on their own terms. :cool:
