I totally do not have two closets full of shoes. That is not 1/50th of how many pairs I own.
I used to work at a shoe store where it was always buy one get one 50% off and I had a 30% discount on top of that, so I had at least 75 pairs of shoes. I donated most of them and now I have 1 pair black and 1 pair brown for flats, heels and sandals and 1 pair of black chucks.

I do need to simplify my shoe life. I have an "in season" closet and a "not in season" closet and switch them every six months. I don't particularly love shoes, but when I buy shoes it's mostly the expensive ones that last forever. So I tend to build up a stash.

Two years ago I rigged up a string and hook system on the back of my closet wall which allowed me to hang up 30 pairs of shoes, giving me more floor space.

I am now out of floor space. It's possible I have a problem (but my step mom gives me like 20 pairs of shoes per year, too, so she isn't helping my problem!)

I have 6 pairs of the same basic shoe that I wear and then 1 pair of boots that I wear when I feel fancy.

In due time and the need for money you will hit a million approved. You have to figure the reason more people don't is the average worker seems to only stick around for a few months.
The numbers of people willing to stick it out have significantly increased in the past few years though... the public release of scripting and tools to make turking easier lowered the bar of entry significantly, along with all the accumulated/documented turking knowledge that used to be kept much more secretive. They don't have to learn as much to succeed anymore... and the people who have spent gobs of time learning new skills have had those skills somewhat devalued... which means the less motivated among us are no longer at as great a disadvantage to the motivated, and can continue to expend less effort for the same relative results... so there's incentive to stay.

I'm a girl.... I own 3 pairs of shoes. two pairs of flip flops and a pair of ballet flats. I can't stand wearing shoes and I am basically always barefoot if it can be helped.

I envy that! I don't kid when I say I have at least 10 pairs of black summer open toed shoes cuz...well...some go with pants. Some go with shorts. Some go with skirts. Some are just there because they are cute but painful to wear so I only wear those when I want to torture myself and look feet cute.

Now, let's talk about the other colors of open toed shoes I have...lol...

Funny thing is...in the winter I mostly wear my moccasins. I love moccs. They're like socks with a sole.

The landscape is much friendlier to the newbie than it used to be.

Despite me admitting to owning an obnoxious number of shoes, that's why I wear moccasins. Closest thing to being barefoot. And they hide that I haven't done a pedi in a long while.

Yeaaaaah I have 6 pairs of black canvas shoes because they go with everything. I think. I dunno, fashion confuses me. One is a pair of black canvas high heels that I bought for my wedding. And the boots were purchased for my Wild West Harley Quinn cosplay.

It is, and I'm basically a newbie. But I think you still have to have gumption and stick it out for it to be worthwhile. Maybe it's different for me since turking is my second job, but we do need the money turking brings in. There are days I just do NOT want to turk, to spend the time monitoring HS and pandaing the crap out of hits I missed, or getting up at 5 am for Zoltars. But I do cuz...well, we could use the cash.

I would have stuck it out in the old days, too...but I wouldn't make as much as I do without all the scripts and forums and input from veteran turkers.

(I do admit to being sad when I see good hits post I can't do because I'm at work...)

I miss cosplay.

Total tangent. but I miss it. I haven't been to a con in years, tho, so no need for cosplay in my life anymore :(
