Plunk, plunk our fingers go, while Fido naps at
our feet and Queen sings “We are the Champions” in our headset.
Indeed, we are champions, finally! Getting paid
BIG BUCKS to have this data entry job from home. The ads were right:
I’m making $500 a day just plunking away part time at my computer
whenever I feel like it. I’m going to be rich, and all I need is
fingers! Oh, I love this kind of job. No human contact. No stress.
No actual work. (Plunking isn’t really work.) No experience
necessary. It’s true I’m not even that great of a typist, but I can
email my friends, can’t I, that’s good enough, and afterall, I’m
earning huge, huge paychecks! Yep, I’m a champion all right. Why do
people go to college and do other dumb things like that when they
can make almost $250,000 a year plunking away in a just a few
minutes every day doing data entry?
Hellooo. Please join us back in reality. This job
doesn’t exist!
Yes, there are real data entry jobs.
Trillions of names and addresses and other piece of information are
typed, entered and stored in computers every year.
But that doesn’t mean that just because you can
type a text message or an email you’re qualified to make $500 a day
with a “data entry job”.
Do yourself a favor. Finish reading this article
and then promise yourself that you will never believe those
ridiculous ads again.
Data entry jobs are also sometimes also promoted
as “Typing Jobs” or “Email Processor” jobs and all of them are
nothing more than modern versions of the old envelope stuffing scam.
Real data entry jobs do
exist.
