You're right. If I hadn't had this as an alternative I might have actually put my skills to work and built a career.

Or you could have a midlife crisis and realize your 'career' was a waste of time and end up here anyway while you tried to find a way to do what you really loved. And pay the bills.

That's pretty close to how I ended up turking... just change "midlife crisis" for "near terminal illness" that led to a realization and the chasing of a passion. I've cut way back on the turking in the last 2 years... but I haven't quit yet because the biz isn't 100% yet... will probably take about 5 years to mature and even out some.

a crush
i'm 35 years old and I'm using a term that I've always designated as "teenage use only"
i'm so pathetic
Hmmm I seem to recall I was in that same situation. I married her and felt less pathetic. LMAO

I like how they attack someone else's work as laughable and unsound then go on to make the mistake of assuming mturk causes depression rather than considering the possibility that depressed people choose to work on mturk.
What they don't take into account is that we are all depressed we missed a good batch doing the dumb survey in the first place

she said she doesn't want to have any "blanquitos" (white babies) because she's nervous her ecuadorian family will be racist against any children we might have had.
then she said, "by the way, that was a rejection"

I am glad you were able to get through that and follow your passion. You will get there! I have a very similar artistic dream that was put on hold after an injury and my crisis. Ready to get back to it now that I can do this on the side a bit better.
