Anybody got a time on this one?
Mine was about 20 minutes going quickly. *LOTS* of reading and writing (especially for 1.30) . I'd avoid.

I even wrote a rather lengthy comment to the requester (not that it will necessarily do any good but sometimes it helps)

There's also coding bootcamps - my husband hires people right out of bootcamp sometimes since they are moldable and (relatively) cheap for companies.

This gives me a lot of hope. Im going to a coding bootcamp in June and Im hoping it will be the chance I need to jump into a somewhat secure job.

Usually I would say mturking is decent income. But lately its been pretty bad. Now some would disagree, but to me the volume is not there. I could queue up 8 surveys before 6am which has drastically changed.

That too. A few years ago SWN laid off 1500 people here and said they can go to WV so most did.
it's just not a good idea. nothing in West Virginia is looking up and our legislature is batshit crazy. rather than try to solve the many problems we have such as hundreds of people are dying here every day from overdosing on heroin/fentanyl, we're hemorraghing so much population that we're likely to lose a congressional seat after the 2020 census, or that no businesses want to move here unless they want to take our natural resources, they are trying to put a state constitutional amendment on the ballot so we can further restrict womens' access to abortion. not getting too political here but WV is last in the country on so many measures for a reason. just not worth it unless you have something reliable lined up

What language are you going to learn? I know a lot of people come to it from different backgrounds or as a career change, so you won't be alone there!

ServiceNow people get paid decently if you're interested in IT type stuff - needs mild/moderate javascript coding skills and some training/certs that they offer. When I was doing it they had test instances up you could play around and learn on for free.

There's also coding bootcamps - my husband hires people right out of bootcamp sometimes since they are moldable and (relatively) cheap for companies.
yeah GoldenTemple @IndigoTemple was talking about coding bootcamps last night

opens a lot of doors it looks like

may be the best idea

I hope I can instill all these good values in him but sometimes kids don't listen so we'll see. Raising a human is hard, I'm only 6 months in.... lol
well look into education savings accounts, we made one for each grandkid and I put all my earnings from here in there. But even if you just threw extra money from time to time in there would help him a lot more. But to get that money they have to jump through a few hoops, I want them working and going to school.
