Nice comparison Michael. How about doing both? Blogging part time, and working&socializing part time at Starbucks? I believe one can get a lot of blogging ideas while dealing with real life and people.

I really like that you brought up this topic. But starbucks isn’t the best one to compare it too, maybe some other jobs, that pay more :). And I wanted to ask, but about health insurance, and taxes how do webmasters pay for that because isn’t that taken out of your paycheck?

Starbucks will always be there for you if for some reason things don’t turn out with the internet business.

If I worked at Starbucks my whole life, without taking a real ‘shot’ at success, well, I don’t think I could live with myself.

If I were you I must leave starbucks and do my own enterprise via internet.There are lots of chances on internet beyond your imagination.$7 a hour is nothing,let say you work 8 hours daily to earn $56.In starbucks you earn $1680 a month,$20,160 one year.It seem like that reliability is good,in fact,it is not.Suppose one day starbucks cut staffs,you get fired what would you do?You have to look for new job,may need new ability.And,it is not free,you get restricted.
If you start to do your internet enterprise,it may need some monthes to learn much thing.But at last you can earn more than $3000 per month easily.I know there so so many persons get such income based on 2 or 3 hours per day.In the begining it is hard but at last you get free,what you should do is to find a tutor,or you can learn by yourself on forums.
Forget starbucks and do your own thing.Why not become a boss and live freely.
In fact I’m also a beginner but now I know what I should do.You can email me to learn skill together.

I would say the best thing about internet business rather than starbucks is the opportunities. If you keep at it, you’ll go far. If you work hard at surving coffee, you’ll just make the company more money, but there almost no opportunities to end up making a lot more money.
