I can understand the sentiment towards keeping this thread open. But this is hardly enough to live off of, let alone enough for "capital building" in the early stages of a Fastlane.
This may have been appealing when I was flat-out broke once upon a time, but knowing what I do now and as others have stated, there's just much better opportunities for an early stage entrepreneur to not only gain capital but gain the SKILLS necessary to succeed in the future. I can't say the same is true for the monotonous tasks common to MTurk.
While I agree, things are not one size fits all. When you're just starting, sometimes it's not about the numbers, but about the self-confidence. And striking a few little wins here and there. And we don't know WHO this thread will resonate with around the world, places where $3/hour is living large.
I'm trying to remember when I was 18 and was dying to make $5/hour ON MY OWN, versus $10/hour working for someone else.
Some people have different ways of sticking their toe in what's perceived as very cold water.
