It makes me work harder. I've always been a competitive person (although I'm also largely cooperative). I also kind of enjoy being a model for people who don't have a lot of the fancy quals or the big Masters qual, not that I wouldn't take the qual at first sight lol. It is entirely possible to make good money here, you just have to educate yourself through trial and error. I mean, you guys have seen me, I do more surveys than most people here, but I have no problem with that. If that is my way of finding my niche on mturk for now, so be it. I think I'm very fortunate to have a largely friendly community such as this one, be able to work in the comfort of my own home with my own food and in my own chair. It's largely freeing and independent in a sense. Maybe I'm blissfully ignorant, but I enjoy what I do.
