02/10 - We Rally Cause it's Wednesday!

Sigh. Trying to explain to the BF that I don't mind working 10+hrs a day to earn the same as a 'normal' full-time job [And no, I'm not quite there yet. But that's the example we're talking about]. I pick my schedule. I don't have panic attacks. I can turk in pjs if I want. All of which is more valuable to me than the stress, anxiety, panic attacks etc I get with ANY other job (what with the whole leaving the house/interacting with people thing). He just can't wrap his mind around it which is frustrating me.

Because turkers are happy to work for $4-6/hour anyway, and a $100 bonus is exciting enticement to encourage more participants!!!

And we all know who is to blame for that.

@electrolyte considers people who work on mturk as less than human

I'm nowhere near good enough to earn a living wage, but honestly, I'm hoping to learn efficient scripting (and possibly obtain Masters) one of these days so that I can replace my job with this for those same reasons.

You're not alone, friend. *hugs*

Why not just pay a legit wage for the survey in the first place?

I don't know how many participants they had, but why not divide that between all of us for our participation? I have never won one of these lotteries and I hate when they say you have a chance. I do know some people have won, but it's never me.

Maybe it's a faith gamble, or not even true. I had to throw this one back because I am godless. Shrug. Hope it works out for someone.

Some people just do not get the concept of working from home in general. If it makes your life easier than keep doing it! Anxiety is a bitch to deal with especially when you have to interact with a bunch of strangers.

Welp, time to clock out here and start at my other job...

I would add in the fact that working on mturk has virtually no overhead, which is pretty significant compared to most jobs. Travel expenses alone add up to a lot and there are also plenty of hidden costs like clothes related expenses. You also don't have to pay taxes on saved money as opposed to earned money and you may have the option to live somewhere with reduced rent or payments if commuting isn't an issue for you.

I'm still in that place

I get it. I really didn't set out to do this on a full time basis, but it has become something like that. You're right about that 10 hour a day thing, but I got by the skepticism by showing my boyfriend my daily earnings for a few days in a row. They were very good days, so it was a bit of a strategic showcase, but at least he doesn't think I'm just goofing around on the internet anymore. Now he comes home and asks me "how was your day at work?" . The key here though is that he knows I work in an industry that is highly seasonal, so I wouldn't be making a whole lot of money at my chosen profession right now anyway. Things will change a bit in April when it's warm and the tourists come back. Right now, we are both satisfied with what I'm earning on Mturk.
