I see the article is dated very recently, but the picture and text are both very familiar. I feel like I read it several months back - very odd.

lol six-figure salaries I can't see how that's possible even WITH master qual. If so I'd love to get into contact with that turker and get a lesson or two.

Six figures..??? Yeah, including the decimal. I'm a thousandaire myself, but if they've figured a new way to term it (including the cents) then now I, too, can claim to make six figures! Oh how impressed my friends and family will be

stacey, I like the way you think! I, too, can now claim 6 figures.


(disclaimer : 6 figures id versus 6 figures bd, of course. id = ignore decimal bd = before decimal )
