A few complications but everyone is safe now. I Just smooched Mia and Gina should be heading back here soon.

Congratulations!

Too bad that's the last update we'll get, since @jml is going to ban them for account sharing in clear violations of the guidelines.

That would require @jml to actually do something as a mod.

Highly unlikely.

Not sure if you're working with an already existing pool of workers, or if not, I don't know if you can add new rows to the csv for new workers before uploading.

Yes, this worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!

Now, I am just dismayed at the quality of work I am getting. I posted 30+ jobs. The first 12 submitted only 3 were approved. The hit states in big print, if you answer a specific way to each question, the hit would be rejected. I even put it right next to the question in the survey telling them to return the hit or face rejection.

First 6 hits in, all yes answers right down the list. obviously didn't read the questions or answers at all. And now, three emails in screaming at me for rejecting them.

Sigh...

Good morning.

Just turned down a job that pays $18 an hour cause I told them I'd rather turk.

Why?

I've been turking as my basically full time job for a couple of years now (along with other little things here and there, online and off). IMO there are big positives to turking as a job once there's enough income to live off of, but there's also big negatives compared to more normal jobs. Some of my irl friends I complain to who know what I do really well say I should get a different job because the negatives aren't worth it, and then turk as a side thing if I want. But it's hard. No degree and my specialty skillset (which isn't related to computers or the internet) is very particular and there are no jobs anywhere near where I live now that would need it. And it's difficult to put turking on a resume in a way employers would understand or even respect, so I also have what to them would look like an employment gap. So I expect that to find any decent non-turking job would be very difficult at the moment. Because of what I make with turking on average and because with turk I can work extra hours as much as I want to make more if I need it (and because it's easier to make a better hourly on turk the more time you have ready to jump and work the good stuff when it comes along), the job would have to be something I wouldn't hate, not a dead end, and pay at least say $15/hr but preferably more.

But after doing it for years, turking somehow still feels 'temporary' to me. It doesn't feel stable or secure and even after making inroads to some of the better stuff on turk (quals, masters, etc.) it still doesn't feel any safer and still feels like hustling every day to make a buck. I mean, can you guys who do this as your job imagine still doing this in ten years?

i do this in addition to my full time job and i can't imagine doing this any more than i already do (about 30 hours per week) or doing it in 10 years from now
