College degree? Trade certificate? Or online marketer? All of these can help you earn money. Which one will help you earn the most? Which one will cost the least in training? Which will you need if you don't want to work 40 hours or more to earn a decent income?

Now if you earn a degree in Medicine or Law, maybe you won't have to work 40 hours a week to earn a pretty decent income, but what will it cost you to earn that degree in order to make your money. What will it cost you in years of training? Most likely a ton of money and a load of your time!

If being a doctor or lawyer is your plan, then it is well worth your time money and effort as they are very noble professions. You might spend less time in years and a little less money to get a trade certificate, but it will cost you no doubt. And depending on the trade it may cost you a little, or it may cost you a lot but it will definitely cost you.

The average person was taught in the early years, to make money you need to get an education. Get your high school diploma then go off to college. That's what you will need to do to make the big bucks and secure your future. But look at the unemployment rate. Most often there are not enough jobs for every person who graduates, in their field of study. Of course there are even fewer opportunities for those who are less educated.

Many people spend years in school and wind up earning bachelors, masters and even doctorate degrees and do not make much more than 45,000 dollars a year. Often times they end up as teachers, rather than earning a living at their certified field. Although becoming a teacher is a great and respectable position, for many, it was not the plan.

We all know that once upon a time it was, "you need to get your high school diploma". Once you have that you could get a job anywhere. Then it became "you need to get your college education". A high school diploma is no longer enough. Now there are not enough jobs in the field you got your college degree in. So, many people end up teaching because it's easier to get a job at almost any high school or community college in the field they earned their degree in.

Have you ever seen the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus"? It's a story about a guy who is a musician played by Richard Dreyfuss, who's only plan was to be a musician, and someday, compose his great opus. He got married and when his wife became unexpectedly pregnant, he needed to find a job that would enable him to take care of his new family. That of course meant they had to move out of their small apartment. He felt he needed a more stable job and income besides the music gigs he played. He needed to buy a house so that could have more room. So he reluctantly got a job teaching music at a high school. He ended up not only being locked into the job but he had no time to work on his opus because of all the time he had to dedicate to grading papers and planning lessons and all the other extra- curricular activities that teachers had to commit to.

Well eventually Mr. Holland did write his opus. But it was only after he was about 60 years of age and after his music program was cut from the school's budget. By that time, he was at the age of retirement. So much for the life he had planned to just make music.

Now just imagine if Mr. Holland had been an Internet Marketer. He might have had money to buy a house, raise his family and time to write his opus while he was still young. How many people dream of spending time doing the very things they love? Many want to spend more time with family rather than spending time working to provide for family they rarely see. Mr. Holland also sacrificed his relationship with his deaf son who held much resentment toward him, for spending his too little time on his opus rather than with him.

Many people love their jobs and so for them spending time at work day after day is very rewarding. But what about those who have dreams of spending time doing what they love? What if they would rather spend time painting their masterpiece, or writing a great novel, or perhaps composing their very own opus. What if there was the time to do all of these things and still earn a good income and still have time to spend with family at home or traveling? That would be grand wouldn't it?

There are thousands of people who are living their lives just the way they want because they have lots of money and free time. They are the successful internet marketers who have learned to use the World Wide Web as their source of income while working at home only a few hours a week.
