I work full time online. At the moment I do not have to cover any bills so all of my money is reinvested so that some day when I have bills I will be all set :)

When I join a computer company, I'll have a full time online job. :)

Yes its the same what I did too. experience you gain from a office is important when you start your career. But there will be a point you will have to move another step forward and start doing your own work full time. Like any other business its a big step some never able to take this step and some fail and go back. I had a very bad first year when i quit from my day job and started work online. many would had given up and gone back to work. anyway I survived and now things are better and getting better and better.

I would love to work full time online but I only do websites that don't make that much money to do so. That is definaly one of my future goals.

First you have to work hard and get your sites earn money by different sources after that you can think about a full time career.

If your doing it right, you should be spending a majority of your day online. The only time I am off the computer is when I am at school, the gym, or with family. Any time else is spent on websites, networking, and whatever else I decide to do.

Online biz is quite risky can't lay all my eggs in a basket!

After college, probably I'll be applying for applications developer using php/mysql. I'm not that good in design like sportsdude...:D

Lol, my design skills are mediocre. I'm more of a web developer. My current site is being tweaked on. Trying new things and such.

Reese-I think making it as a web designer is near impossible these days. Unless you target a certain niche and are a real go getter. It would appear that your everyday web designer is not going to last long. I much like you chose to be a business owner .
