I’m in the midst of uncertainty with my job and my life, for that matter. I was with a major bank for 5+ years and then suddenly, they decided to off-shore and there went my job a year ago. So, I hit the streets, go a comparable job making $40,000 a year with a finance company and only 3 months later, they fired the president and his CFO girlfriend and started consolidating offices. There went that job. So…now, I’m working in a call center for cell phone tech support through a temp agency, having been here for 9mos making the same $13 an hour. I’M NOT COMPLAINING! I could be happy here and am more than willing to put my all into making this a career move from the ground-up, but the company hasn’t decided it will hire me on permanently. I was only required to work 90 days to be eligible and while my performance is quite good, if they don’t hire me in the next 90 days or so, I’m going to be without a job again because regulations of some sort don’t allow a temp to work for more than one year on a job. I would have to wait 60 days to actually re-apply and be re-hired by the temp agency - something I cannot afford to let happen. In the midst of all of that, I got married, found out he’s a controlling, internet-cheating jerk & he’s now filed for divorce – get this – for my sake so that, according to him, hopefully, I can seek the “help I need” and one day will see my way clear to come back to him. No, it doesn’t make sense, but it’s forced me to retain a lawyer and come up with the $1000 retainer just to figure out how to settle the only joint things we have – debt. Oh, did I mention we work at the same place, too? Yeah…life’s quite strange sometimes. So, like many others whose lives have been turned upside down for one of a million reasons in the last year or so, I started considering what I could do for some extra cash even if it’s just enough to pay for the gas it takes to keep me commuting the hour and a half to work one way. I looked at all the “survey” and “referrals” and “GPT” (Get Paid To…) sites and the “work-from-home” garbage, but finally found MTurk! It keeps me busy in my days off so I don’t stay so focused on the bad crap I can do nothing to control, gives me some outlets for a little writing, a little research, or whatever task and while I don’t make but pennies a HIT, it adds up – it really does! I like the feel of this site and so far I’m convinced it’s legit, so I’m encouraged that there is something I can do in the here and now, regardless of the events of the next 3 months. Keep ‘em coming! Thanks all!
