[P L A Y E R 9 1]

Had 2 really good days but also 3 really bad days.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

This is the weekly summary of your Mechanical Turk earnings for the week ending Apr 2, 2016.

Total amount earned this week: $285.11 :thumbdown:

Well when you think about it, if you turk from home, you can make a bit less than you might from a go-out-and-do job as you can do homecooked meals for lunch, your snacks are your own that you purchased, not $1 per chip bag from the vending machine, lower amounts spent on gas, so on.

Everything except the amount spent on gas you could do with an "outside" job too though

 

[YAHU]

But some of those six packs are $10.99.

go get a real job mr fancy pants rich beers

not to mention that if you don't make over $20,000 most people probably don't report. I have no choice, my wife and i file jointly and she ain't having any shenanigans

I like this debate

This is true, just not often practiced.

woah woah. according to r/hwtf and r/mturk, turking isn't a real job. It's just a place to make $5/day two days a week for that one fancy six pack because you've started to drink less but reddit more

My hope is to at least get close to a minimum wage part time job on this, but I'm still missing something that I can't figure out on how to get consistent work. Watch this forum for what I can get, HitGrabber, Hit Scraper usually turns up the same 20 jobs. Tis frustrating.

If I went out and got a real job I imagine at the most I would make $400 per week flipping burgers or putting insulation inside walls, and I do not want to do that. I'd rather sit here wearing my underwear and eating doritos

You don't have to deal with the general public if you Turk for a living. That's enough for me to be down with it.

Not to mention the abuse from co-workers, the boss and customers!

Also yes.

add professional wardrobe and if you had kids, the cost of after school childcare or taking off work when they're sick etc.

I miss the days of the command line mturk forum. Kids these days with their gifs and smilies and live update and colored themes and fancy avatars just don't get it.

Gotta get a phone
and they have plenty in prison
the question is are you willing to stab a person for stealing your phone
