Unless you were into self degradation and/or lacked any sort of imagination about how to spend your free time.
100k a year is just so far out of range for me that I wouldn't even know what to do with it. Well, aside from fix a hot water tank and do other minor repairs.
I did the first questionnaires pretty fast. The second part didn't move as fast as I made decisions. Didn't time it exactly, because with a 5 hour timer. Took breaks and did other faster HITs in between. My estimation was still less than an hour total. In the instructions it said to submit even if you didn't do all sections. They would pay prorated amount.
The work scenarios are always about managers with secure office jobs. What I make here is negligible. I make so little on Social Security that I'm ashamed to tell them my real income, because then i tell them I have a Masters degree, and they think I'm lying.
I had no issues but it felt like forever at the end. Submitted it at over an hour but with little breaks here and there. At least it was easy and lets you take breaks.
So, I emailed the guy over that Coffee Shop HIT that glitched on me. He sent an email back saying "I'll figure out how to pay you." That somehow doesn't give me any confidence in getting paid :/

He never paid me, but then, the little bastard never answered any of my emails, either. I'd say an answer was a good sign.
Only if they judge people by their income. There are many ways to judge success. Income is not on top of my list. Masters degree is an achievement that you can be proud of.
I've decided to let it make choices for me so I can keep an eye on it while doing other things. That makes it a bit less boring and I'm glad to make $8 today.
