    I have a daily goal, a weekly goal and a monthly one. They are all minimum as to what I need to do to make it worth my time to me. I typically go for double that goal. It just gets so hard sometimes doing surveys so much, rarely getting batches and not having the good quals when the quality batches come along.

    There are good paying things like C-Sats that I can't do because I can't physically stand looking at them (I've tried)

    I'd love to randomly see myself get awarded Maters and then go "now what"

    Then the dollar menu will be the $10 menu... still don't know why people think wages will go up without costs going up... I have this conversation at least once a day with people that sit on all points of the political spectrum

    Wendy's is adding kiosks, self checkout is taking over walmart and grocery stores.... yeah things are not looking too promising for the average worker these days (since I'd be willing to bet 50-60% of workers are in retail/fast food/ ect vs skilled or corporate jobs)

    I feel you on finding finding good batches, sometimes the surveys are just draining around election time I was like ok I give up stop asking me how I feel about someone drinking water, how I feel about one comment taken completely out of context, stop asking me about emails and all that nonsense. Sometimes it seems that survey are quite biased in their approaches to gather data to suits a certain narrative of divisiveness. Not trying to get political here but that was when I literally said fuck it on the surveys for a while and was a fly on the wall regarding posting much to the forum and working on mturk in general. I do have to say though this forum has quite a few good resources for information, and great member that are willing to share and just hang in there and keep coming back and work through it as things should get better. Damn that sounds something from the friends of Bill W, anyways I digress.

    As for masters, that would definitely help out on the frustration level with all those damn captchas on a decent batch run, and hey to make you feel better someone on here I can't remember who was getting double captchas quite a few times the other day if memory serves me correctly.

    Truthfully, most studies are looking to prove their thesis and not counter it so that makes sense. Sadly I missed most of the election-time stuff because I had suffered the shoulder dislocation Oct 26th and couldn't even halfway use the comp again till early Dec

    Other day I was getting Captchas every 5 HITs and I kinda gave up during one of my fav "underpaid" batches as a certain fellow NEET here likes to call them

    I'm not even sure if school requires anything these days as it surely would offend someone
