				 | Nope - not a career here. Hopefully just a nice way to pay the rent without having to leave the house. |

				 | Nope, can't say that I do... I've done a great many things and therefore find it difficult to consider any one of them a career.  Especially considering I never know when I'll up and be gone onto another endeavour. |

				 | Career... It depends on how long I can keep this money train rolling. It's not my only talent, and I do have backup plans if ever needed. |

				 | I would now. But I think it really kinda depends on what you do in the industry.  I mean if you are just some reseller, affiliate, or something your fry guy would not be the same as say, someone who designs websites, does SEO, photography, video editing, and so forth. So I'd say it really depends on what you do in the biz before you can call it a career.  |

				 | I consider it to be what I'm doing while I wait for my real career to begin. The computer industry is pretty slow right now and its hard to find alternate work (with the relatively low amount of experience I have), so this will continue to pay the bills until something comes up. I will probably continue to have a website for as long as I can though, just to generate extra income.

				 | If you're a site owner, have a serious stake in the business or otherwise have a lot invested, yes, I'd call it a career. A lot of people probably thinking it was a short-term way to make some coin and years later realize it's their livelihood. |
