Until 2020, when my private student loans are gone...or until c-sats vanishes.
Interesting to read that U.S. is close to full employment. Wonder if mturk workers have gone down any.

full employment is not the problem.. people can get jobs. it's low wages, low hours, no benefits, etc etc etc etc. why people turn to this.

Pretty sure Carl is a Turker.

Also the freedom

I think he might be the grossest cartoon character on the planet. Now I have the theme song stuck in my head so thanks a lot for that.

My sister and I just sat here and pinned like 5,000 dessert recipes while I was doing Pinterest hits ... we're supposed to be working out and dieting together and getting our summer bodies ready and this isn't helping. -_-

Well, the theory is that as the market tightens, wages will increase and full-time should be readily available.
There's a Fred Meyers near me that is BEGGING for people to work there. So many have left because they can't afford to live in Vancouver, WA on what they pay.

 

[Mikeyyyyy]

for any fulltime turkers... how long are you planning on doing it for?

Until I can't sustain paying my bills by doing this any longer. As a dude living in a studio apartment I can comfortably pay my bills turking and have a decent amount left over for the month. Although, I started with a nestegg of 10k already in the bank so I haven't reached my "disaster scenario" where turking isn't feasable. I'll stick it out with you for the long haul Peachy

One of the saddest days in my life was the day I had to leave Vancouver for Tennessee. I just couldnt afford to live there anymore.

I'm just doing this until I can get a lab job. I also plan on going back to school for a higher degree in the fall so maybe not much longer.

yeah thats a whole nother issue I didnt think of. cost of living is so high. wages dont match. in this reality. I dont think they come back down. but I could be wrong.

Yep. Gonna move sometime by 2020. Been getting stuff as ready as I can to move. Problem is, no clue where to go. Maybe Idaho? Maybe the west coast? Maybe Kansas?
