its 14 an hour for me

it would be SO hard to get a job at that wage in my area without like 10-15 years of experience or like a masters degree


sad thing is i'm not exaggerating. sigh. but that's how i rank worthwhile hourly. I think its tough because we all live in different areas with different costs of living.

At number 16...feel like I'm limping along now lol.

what's the lowest hourly wage that is considered "good" to you?

If I'm grabbing stuff off of HIT Finder, I try to get anything that's $15/hr or higher. $10/hr is about the lowest that I prefer to go when it's slow on the weekends...

On batches, the same applies (15+/hr)... regardless of what TV says the hourly on a batch is, I'll still usually try to take a stab at figuring out a way to speed things when doing a lower-hourly batch via small, simple scripts, or by being creative in cherry-picking from the batch.

what's the lowest hourly wage that is considered "good" to you?

It depends on the nature of the work, but I think I generally consider anything in the $15-$25/hr range to be acceptable and anything higher to be actually good. I need a higher hourly on some things to make up for my unwillingness to do whatever it is that they're asking, which is why I generally don't even like to touch surveys that pay less than $20/hr. I also like higher hourlies because I feel like it needs to make up for all of the downtime that I have while I'm trying to find stuff to work on.

I feel everyones pain that did this 72 dollar hit.

You're like one of those people with great bodies and wonderful metabolisms complaining about how they have to eat so much all the time while eating ice cream.

Give it to me so I can complain about it

 

[QueenOfScreams]

wait, so how do u decide whats a good hit and whats a bad hit?

from here mostly, and then if I see something I actuallly enjoy I do it. like the rekogs, yeah they're shit pay but idk man I highly enjoy them lol

 

[Despairagus]

"good" lol

If I like what I'm doing I don't care about the hourly too much.

If I have nothing better to do (like this entire week) anything over $10/hr is fine.

If I feel like I have a real life then $15+

I'm very flexible.

Easy, they are all bad

lies. I heard you make so much money on mturk that Bernie Sanders is demanding to see your tax returns
