How long can I keep on working under a "student" visa?

I'm under a Family visa where it states that I am a "student". I have been working for over a year now with this in my QID. I just want to check if I can keep on renewing my student visa for a few more years without having to prove I'm a student.

I'm thinking of eventually taking a master's degree here in Qatar, just wondering if I might have to encounter some problems before then.

Thanks in advance.

@goodlittleboy: I think that's not the case anymore. I read somewhere that individuals under their father's sponsorship (family visa) can remain that way and seek employment without needing to change sponsorship even if they are over 18.

Since you are a male, I guess you can stay under a Family Visa till you reach 18 years of age. After that you will need to have your own visa to stay in Qatar.
