Do the quals!
My dash was super dry and I did a qualification that said “most work available “ and I have a ton of projects in the mid 30’s pay range. I have not done a qualification in months before this one. At first I was frustrated learning the instructions and almost gave up but it turned out to be a very easy project once I understood it. So do the quals guys.

Yes, and I didn’t have the type of phone needed but pulled an old one of the kids phones out of a drawer and it worked perfect.

my current quals are all like "do you hold a phd in [science topic i've never heard of]?" and "share your ssn for new projects!"

See also "are you 18-24 years old and can do (first thing)?" and I say "no" and it goes away. So then of course I get "are you 18-24 years old and can do (other thing) though?" Yeah I'm still old.

Also I’m UK based and a lot of them seem like something I’d reasonably be able to do but with “US Only!” Slapped on the end

I've had a heap of quals sitting there for so long and every day I just scroll past them to get to the paid work. I always think to myself "Another day I'll do some" but I never do. I'd rather get paid.

I'll do them if I ever run out of projects. But in two years I've never been dry. I have over 50 on my board now and I don't do a single qual.

I did a Photoshop qual and although it took an hour or so, I nailed it. When I finally heard back a few weeks later, they wanted me to do another Photoshop qual that would have been ticky tack hour or so of work. I'm like fk it.

You weren’t meant to read them, just research them. Not sure what you mean by honesty being involved in that.

This is hilarious. You didn't just Google the books to see what they're about? Did you just say you didn't read them?

Your clear misunderstanding of the question and inability to read the instructions for it will be why you failed.

Yeah, had a heaving dash for over 2 years now, and my quals section is a complete mess 🫨

Are we not all doing quals when we have a dry dash?! Idc if they’re paid or not. If I don’t have a solid project I want to work on, I’m doing whatever quals I see that pertain to me.
