I still laugh to myself when I think about how I talked to my husband about me needing masters on here.
He thought it was the masters degree. lol. He was all "can't you just lie and put you have masters??"
That's funny.

My girlfriend just gets annoyed about it and says things like "why can't they tell you what you have to do to get one?" Which I tend to agree with tell us the things we need to hit to have it.

As someone who tries to make 250-300 a week on here...even without a kid that is going to take some serious grinding. You really need to pump your numbers and quals before you're expected to make that much though.

I started doing this because I got injured on the job, this lets me not have to do something that would leave me in serious pain and lets me do house chores also. It helps.
I've done it a few times with no quals but it takes seriously grinding and motivation. When I did it, I was taking everything off HF. 5 cents, 10, 15, whatever. I did everything I could. I did the big surveys, and I did the small ones. Anything that came my way, I took.

Lol yeah. I was doing a good $120-$150 before, but I have lowered my daily goal to $10 and weekly to about $70. I don't need this to survive. Like I told my husband last night, this is my spending money so he doesn't have to give me any lol.

So, my son goes to kindergarten next year. I think my husband has decided to let me stay home and make money on here while taking an online MAT course to become a teacher!!

I might sub too, idk. I told him I could probably make $200 a week on here when I don't have to deal with a kid lol.
My kids are in school during the day, I pick them up at 2:30 and they are home the rest of the day. I can make $200 a week on here without good quals but I do have to put in a good amount of effort.

The other thing that really helps our family, we don't have to get someone to watch the kids when they are out of school ( before school, in the afternoons, a week in the fall, two weeks at Christmas, winter break, Spring break, 2 month summer break and all the other holidays they get off) Even when they go to school they are home a lot.

Yes! Before and after care is outrageously expensive. I get the 7 year old neighbor a few times a week and the parents pay me a little bit for that. It works out great for me because I have some extra cash and my daughter has someone to play with and they know their daughter is right here well cared for and pay much much less than they would paying for a program.

Yeah, don't forget to factor in all that you're doing at home instead of paying someone else to do it. We're actually saving money by me being at home with the baby and finishing up some certifications while doing mturk, rather than stay at my hideous old job and putting her in daycare.

yes it is so expensive! That's why we are thinking of me being a teacher so I can somewhat have the same schedule as him. And if I work late or something, he can just join me in the room. Until then mturk seems the best bet to make a bit of money lol

I think they make the before and and after care just as expensive as full time childcare since they know most mothers want to go back to work after the kids are in school.

That is a great point that I know I don't give myself enough credit for.
