I was able to order the Nintendo DS

My experience as a mechanical turker so far has been a pretty good one. I joined the site many years ago when the program was first getting started. I have not used Mechanical turk in a few years, but decided to check it out again a few days ago. I’m glad that I did. The taks now are more difficult than they were years ago, but that’s not really a bad thing, because I think that we should have to work for the money were getting. Years ago I was too young to have a job, so this was a great alternative. I spent weeks on the site accepting and completing hits until I saved up almost $160 dollars. I was able to order the Nintendo DS I wanted and a game. Neither of which I would have ever had enough money for with mechanical turk. It’s a great program, and while the money-making process can be slow at times, it’s still much needed money!
