One of the goals of many people is to be able to finish their studies in order to find a good paying job. That is the reason why after graduation most of us would go for job hunting. Although not all are lucky to find the job of their dream. For some, it would take years before they find a decent job. While some would land on temporary jobs. In our place, many individuals are working as job orders. Meaning, they have no employee-employer relationship. They can be removed anytime. But because they need to sustain, they would grab every opportunity that comes along. Only a few would find a good paying job.
When I graduated, I was able to find a job that pays a meager amount. But I took the job in order to gain experience. After some time, I was able to enter the government service. But I know that with the continuous rising of commodities, my salary won’t be enough. That is why I still look for other sources and I found myself working online.
What If I Wasn’t Able to Find a Day Job?
I was thinking, what if I didn’t find a job? Perhaps I am working online full time. I know there are many online workers who are devoting their full-time with their online work/business and they are earning a good amount. Some are earning even more than a regular day job. Admittedly, the Internet has changed my life in a lot of ways. This is one of the reasons why even the limited time, I still trying to spend time with my online activities.
Have You Considered Working Online on a Full-Time?

If given a chance, would you consider leaving your regular job to pursue an online work or business? Would you suggest to new graduates to pursue an online career instead of working a 9 to 5 work?

I work online most of the time and I find it going up in payments and other times very low
I work online for more than 6 hours everyday, but then it wouldn’t be considered a full time job. Working from home has its drawbacks as you are always doing something side by side.
I also work full-time online… My wife is on bitLanders as well… But for the last time, many sites have dropped down… I am glad for you! Good luck with your projects!
For Bitlanders, how many posts did you do for the three months?
Hi, Ahol! Thank you for dropping by. I write two to three blog posts in a week but mostly two.
One major advantage of working online is, you can do it from almost anywhere. And just like what you are doing you can work for different sites at the convenience of your time.
Yes, that’s one of the things I like about working online. I can work with any site and I continuously learn new things every day. Thank you for sharing your idea, Artbytes. Have a great day!
Thank you Tasartcraft for commenting. Admittedly, good sites are hard to find and those which appeared to be a good site seems too difficult to comprehend. I worked with a lot of online sites and many of them are good sites and some are still active after 5 years. But I don’t work with most of them because of the limited time.
There are many sites aside from the one I am most active with which deals mostly with writing. I’ve been with call reviewing sites, transcribing sites, completion of simple tasks such as bounding box, segmentation, etc. Technically, there are many ways, we just need to conduct research. We are lucky to know someone who knows about it because you can skip the research process which will consume much of your time. You can find all the information in my blog.
Working is a choice that can have many reasons behind it which is more than just earning income; social status, “certainty”, interest, comfort, match, idealism, etc. Funny thing is, often it doesn’t go hand in hand.
Online jobs availability for at least the past two decades have broadened choices for the workforce and maybe more inspiring in many ways, and it is not like in the era before online jobs were available. It is also a reality that the organization’s need for conventional jobs is shrinking while the workforce continues to grow.
Thank you, Albert, for sharing your thought on this. Yes, there should be a balance on everything.
You are always welcome, Sharon.
When I worked full time I also worked online just for the fun of it.
Thank you, Gloridaze for sharing your thought on this. Yes, many people are happy to spend time online for pleasure.
True, I always wanted to travel the world so declined a government job as an engineer in Electricity department but took a marketing job in a welding technology multinational.
That’s a wise decision. Marketing is a very profitable career. Thank you for sharing your thoughts., Suny.
As can be seen from all those who have commented before, I prefer regular work 40 hours a week. And I support them. Also when I am free I enter and publish here in virily. For pleasure entertainment and a little extra revenue.
Hi, thank you for visiting. Yes, it shows that most responses are geared towards the idea of having a more secure and real or should I say offline work. It also shows that many of the members here are happy to stay for pleasure and making friends.
Online work vs office work is an interesting problem to consider. First, thank you, well-written article!!!
1. it is about companionship. Some people nee the reality of going to the office to see other human beings.
2. Some people don’t need direct human interaction, they do well at home.
I know both sides of the argument, it is a hard decision.
First, thank you for your appreciation. This is actually my style of writing and most of my articles online are about online career, working online and blogging. It was recently that I switched to AI-themed blogging.
Yes, we need to weigh the pros and cons before jumping into any activity especially if we are already in a safe situation. This is also the reason why I won’t give up my day job. But that won’t prevent me from exploring the online field further. When it comes to personality, I think I fit very well in the second description. But it doesn’t mean that I can’t interact with others. In fact, I am frequently being invited to discuss some topics such as children and government procurement.
That would make a great article by the way, the steps to take when considering. I have and continue to explore making money online as well. Mostly to see what is out there, to understand the market, but also to continue my skill growth.
Yes, it’s a good starting point. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this., Doc. I wish you more success in your career.
Thank you for the kind words.
I will return them, wishing you much success in your choices as welL!!!
Thank God that I had such a job that I was always well paid, that I had a good life … and also now I have such a pension that I can live normally … here I am more for acquaintances and good friends … I’ve tried many things online already, but they are scammers … Virily is one of the few who pays everything else is a scam … these are my experiences
I am happy to know that you had a good paying job. Well, not everyone, especially from my country, can get a decent paying job or one with a salary that commensurates the effort they put on the work. Yes, there are a lot of scammers online, that’s why I learned to be smart. It’s glad to know that you are enjoying your stay online especially with Virily. Yes, Virily is a good place to spend time and make friends. Thank you for dropping by.
Thanks also to you … I’m really happy to meet you, even if only online, dear Sharon … you are a very nice and polite woman
Just because someone is working online full-time doesn’t mean they are getting paid well. Most people who work online put in many hours and do not even make a dime. It’s not as easy as the advertisers make it out to be.
A large percentage of people who are tried exploring the online field failed because either they are expecting that they can be successful overnight or they have gone to the wrong place. There are also some people who stay online most of the time because they love it and not because of the amount of money. Personally, I spending my somewhat limited time online to earn money and to learn new things in order to earn more money.
I would like to make some money online but only doing work that I am passionate about
I believe you can make money out of doing things that you are passionate about. If you are an artist, there are many ways you can earn from it. I think this is one of the areas which will bring you money in a passive way.
In NZ it is only certain people who make money out of doing art, it is a closed circle and outsiders are shut out
I make a little sometimes
Why would you think of NZ alone? The online world is a bigger platform. Having your own website is just one way to promote your work. You can also implement automatic payment system on your site.
I spend too much time online these days.
Thank you for dropping by, Carol. If I could retire early, I will consider working online as a full time in the near future. I already learned some skills but need to improve my writing skills in order for me to create high-quality contents and products such as e-books and courses. I also need to develop the marketing skill which for me is one of the most needed when planning to stay longer and be successful in the online field.
I think working online is the future. The majority of ‘real jobs’ are becoming automated, leaving not many choices to most people. Working from home gives freedom, and it might solve overcrowding in urban areas, and help people spend more time with their families, without having to commute or migrate to other countries.
You just mentioned two of the best reasons for choosing to work online. Freedom and overcrowded streets which causes traffic. At the current time, careers like online teaching, writing, data analysis and research, and other work related to machine learning and Artificial Intelligence will surely give you a decent income.
I would work online, but it’s hard to find something good
It depends on the skills that you have, vidocka. Let’s also consider having patience. I tried different ways of working online before and I can say there are some good ones that are worth considering. I used to work a call reviewer and I can earn some good amount. But I gave up that work for my son who needs the work at that time. I concentrated on writing for a third party site which I believe to be one of the best paying blogging sites. I also started my own blog but I am not earning from it. though I can see it to be a good source too. My issue is not having enough time. Otherwise, working online is a good thing to pursue.
Thanks for the explanation, Sharon. I will take the time to take a closer look
Whatever said and done, online work can never be a substitute for a good day job. You can’t make a living out of online earnings.
In the general sense, it’s good to have an offline source of income. If we have options, we usually take the more secure one. But it does not necessarily mean that going online will not let you earn enough for your living.
What I said is that you cannot live a life with online work alone.
I would want to work online, but it’s not easy to find something that pays well
Yes, it is difficult to find a good paying job online and when you find one, you are not assured that it would last long. So you need to continuously make research. But having a source that you could do on your own time and at the place of your choice could be such a relief.
but with the job market as it is now, even a traditional job doesn’t last long…
You hit the point, Alex. Should we say, security is not promised? For me, what is more important is that you love what you are doing. You are enjoying the job, you are happy with the people around and you are willing to make time for it.
we have an expectation that you get a career and keep it until you retire, but that isn’t the case anymore. the job market is rapidly evolving in unpredictable ways
