    I was wondering, is there any chance that we can find some online job, so we can earn extra money...
    Did anyone went for that option recently?

    They don't really exist, unless you have some sort of IT skill like programming or graphic design. There are some article writing jobs though:

    I make all my money thru online services

    but it involves alot of programming, networks, babysitting servers and living in linux world

    to sum it up you need to be a geek and a degree + determination to learn every single day

    ok if your good at writing articles etc

    then open a blog, write good quality articles, and stick some ads on it

    you wont get rich but a decent sized blog with few thousand readers would pay you for few beers every months

    well if you really good, newspapers who are moving online might pay you for what you write

    but otherwise, you can open a blog, post what you like on it, and make money from it via advertising places on the site (look into google adsense), tho it wont be much

    there are millions of people online who make anything from few cents to few hundred yoyos a month in this manner, but it takes alot of time and work, theres no get rich quick path (and if someone claims there is they want to scam you ;) )

    playing games? theres money in that too i suppose

    no im partly writing software which runs on linux servers, servers ontop of which systems and sites are build, that would be the simplest way of putting it

    another way of putting it would be, who would can make more money of a new building and have the more interesting job, the plasterer or the architect ;)

    Can i be programer?
    Thats a bit tough to do, cause even if i did a 6months of training thats not my best side. I also know to do a bit of autoCad, but just basic...
