    the real reason most people are in this industry?

    Do you think it's really because it's an opportunity for good money...

    or

    Do you think it's because most of the people in the industry really can't hack it in a real job?

    Seems to me that a lot of people talk about having no boss, working from home and making their own hours simply because they can't make it in a normal work place.

    Judging from half the people on the boards, I seriously doubt they could cut it in the work place.

          I would'nt know because I never heard a real job.

          Actually I did....1 day I was a paper boy... I was fired on the spot for walking to slow and eating an icecrem.

              Probably a bit of both..alot of the younger webmasters probably only had 2 or 3 three jobs.They know those 10 buck an hour dead end jobs don't cut it.

                  im the opposite.. its crazy but i actually like my part time job better than what i do at home..

                  i can program, run sites, help friends find clients and all.. but its all boring to me now since ive been doin it 2 years.

                  no motivation anymore, ive never been rich and it doesnt bother me if i never get there.. the most important thing for me is to like what im doing.

                  what i make at home and at my job is more than enough to enjoy my life, but i couldnt imagine working from home my entire life, i tried it for 7 months and after the first 2 i absolutely hated it.

                      I think it's a little combination of both...Everyone knows the money is great if you know what you're doing. But as for myself, I really can't stand authority. I don't want to work a typical 9-5 40hr work week and only pull in a few hundred a week. Thats not enough for my champagne taste in life. Some people are only in for the money and/or a side job but some also take it as a full time career.

                          I like to think I provide a valuable service for the unfortunate people who are not physically able to make it out to view such activities available on my sites.

                                              After making this kinda living, you get soft. I can't wait to work on my offline projects this summer and get more of a workplace feel, it's either that or i'll have to be a webmaster all my life and the idea of it isn't too pleasing.

                                              You get isolated in this kinda work and i need to boss people around.

                                                      I love the freedom. I just miss the steady income and interaction with people.

                                                          Well, being that I am just getting into this...I do have a full timer and this. So I'm pulling double duty for now.
                                                          when in doubt...don't whip it out!

                                                                                      Judging from half the people on the boards, I seriously doubt they could cut it in the work place.

                                                                                                                                      Seems to me that a lot of people talk about having no boss, working from home and making their own hours simply because they can't make it in a normal work place.

                                                                                                                                      Judging from half the people on the boards, I seriously doubt they could cut it in the work place.

I'm sure some people rather make less working from home and having more freedom than making more slaving a 9-5 job.

I don't care if I make any money or not lmao...

But now I don't think I'll ever be able to have a regular job again. The only thing I miss is being able to drive home from work -- now I have to leave home to leave work which contributes to some burn-out.
