Some MTs would like to know (sm)

if it is worth it to work for 8 cents per line since this one has never done it and it would only be a part-time job...or just blow off MT completely after all this hard work and dedication.  Do you mind?

It doesn't appear to be worth it from the posts I'm seeing on this thread, I don't see anyone jumping in who makes $100k per year!  Not many MTs giving their salaries at all at 8 cents per line!
