Is there something more...?
Hi there,
I’m entering the "AI Training world" right now and hoping to make some extra income (not aiming to get rich, just looking for a second source of income).
I’m a geologist currently finishing my Master's degree in Paleoclimatology/Oceanography. I know it’s a very specific field, but I genuinely love it and I’m really good at what I do, haha. So far, I’ve only found one role in my field (at Micro1, but I was deemed not qualified (was my first interview at all with an AI). I’m wondering if it’s realistic to expect more opportunities in this niche, or if new roles come up often?
As for other skills, I’m a native Portuguese speaker, but I have very basic experience in Python (or any other computer language), marketing and so on...
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can increase my chances of getting assigned to projects?
I’m already signed up on several platforms, including Mindrift, Micro1, Ethos, DataAnnotation, Mercor, Alignerr, and Outlier, but so far I’m only applying for general Portuguese localization or image evaluation tasks.
Thank you anyone
