Working Online?

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

My father recently started working part-time (as a second job) for a company online and works 20 hours a week, making roughly an extra $1100 a month.

I went ahead and applied for the same company, as he said it’s rather easy work as long as you can fit the required hours in. After my work at my current job, I can easily switch to their computer lab and use their computers there to get in the hours needed for the part-time online gig…AND I can get my upcoming classes done in the same place. There are also full-time options for this online company, and the idea of working from home and not having to drive to work is rather appealing to me. I can put the money saved into much better things, as gas consumption will be little-to-none. Considering I’m still making an attempt at a minimalist lifestyle, this sounds perfect to me.

My only issue is I work for a university right now in their offices, and it’s a state government job. The benefits there are FANTASTIC, as I get health, dental, vacation, and I could essentially retire early if I wanted to. That being said, it’s getting harder and harder to deal with the gynocentric, politically correct, male shaming environment of almost nothing but women and woman-worshipers (both staff and students alike). Is it worth sticking out for literally another 20 years? Or would I be better off putting money aside MYSELF for retirement?

I’m just thinking long-term here, and what would make me most mentally sane and financially stable. The online job pays more an hour than my current job by about a dollar an hour, but the idea of not really having to drive much and not have to interact with people face-to-face seems really calming and very intriguing. I just get more and more tired of people as I have to experience them and deal with them. I also find that I get work-related (AND school-related) things done better when I’m at home where I focus best.

Anyone here tried working online? How did you like it? What would you do in my shoes?

Any good tips on online work and retirement overall would be fantastic.

It is totally your call.

For myself, I went for sanity over financially stable. I got out at a relatively young age, and benefits be damned. If I had stayed, it would have been ulcers and heart attacks I’m sure.

I managed to achieve financial stability, and I would like to believe I’m reasonably sane. In the final analysis, I am totally glad to be out.

That’s the way I’m seeing it. I get frequent anxiety attacks from feeling like I’m watched like a hawk by my superiors (females not much older than myself) because they ALWAYS look for something to pick at and I always feel like any slight mistake can cost me my job.

I RARELY ever have any need to go to the doctor or dentist (health wise I take very good care of myself), and I figure if I ever needed to, I’d have the money saved to do just that for me. I’m most content when I’m productive at home and in my own surroundings where I can take a breather if I need to and I can run trips when needed and come back to continue my work.

Granted, I’ll admittedly miss the tuition reimbursement for classes, but this could at least help me become even more financially secure and more independent from other people.

I could honestly live my life in my place, in the city I live in now, and be completely happy. I grocery shop locally at a small business and love supporting them. I have internet for outside communications (like this site, for example). I’m COMPLETELY happy with that thought, honestly. Sounds like bliss.

what does the online company pay full time? A lot of people with internet start ups and online professional poker players live in thailand because you can live like a king for relatively cheap and the visa is not too tough to get. your online salary can be stretched a long way if you don’t mind living here. if you can work from anywhere, live where it’s cheapest and comfortable. Your part time salary is about what teachers make here working full time and you can survive. anything above and beyond that would be towards savings and luxury living. or you can buy condos to rent out. Lots of Chinese buying here and driving prices up. I’m in Kuwait working now but I will be buying more rental properties in Bangkok.

Making money and decent benefits are always good, but being happy is also very important man. I’d slowly make the transition to online, but I’m always a little worried about the stability of online ventures, as a lot of those ventures can be easily moved overseas to India or Thailand. Totally your call, man. I’ve been poor for most of my life, and have managed to claw my way to a decent living and that was most important for a while. Be happy, man. Whether that means working at McDonalds or from home.

I lucked out and I don’t work with women, so yay for me.

My thoughts exactly, as RD said.
I would add that you also make time frame and financial target’s if you intend to make a big move.
Not too early , not too late, just right.

I’m going to look into getting a gig working online. I’m a security guard in CA and make pretty good money with benefits. I’d definitely like to supplement that with something I could do at home or on the fly.
