People ask on here, what it takes to recieve a Masters Qualification? I believe you have to do a wide variety of hits, from different requesters, and also have luck. So my question is how many qualifications do you have? I just added mine up to 78 Qualifications, including the Masters. While also have several others pending. I was wondering if having a bunch of qualifications from different requesters would help you guys out?
Interesting thread, razorbacks! I'm not concerned about getting the Masters (it doesn't seem important to how I Turk), but I'll add my number to the pool to help the discussion along. I hold 86 quals. If it helps, I'm still under 4,000 HITs approved; my Turking approach is low volume. Also probably ensures I won't be awarded a Masters anytime soon.
To add to your poll, ( and I don't have masters) 76 assigned, 35 pending 12,662 approved, 20 rejected. 99.8% approved, 0.2 % rejected
Qualifications: 67 approved 46 pending Most of those pending were when my AH were around 5,000 or less. I don't look at what I'm not qualified for, maybe I should to see if I'm missing out. Submitted 22509 Approved 22306 (99.9%) Rejected 19 (0.1%)
I have 94 approved and none pending. I don't have the Masters, nor do I even care if I do get it. I mostly do transcripts, but do other hits during slack times. I've done 56402 hits.
You have to do a bunch of HITs from a buch of requesters. The qual is seemingly spontaneous. I'm willing to bet that 1/10,000 workers have it, if not less. I personally don't have it, and I only know of a few people here that do. My advice to you is just to work hard an make sure you submit quality work. Either it will come eventually, or it won't. The only thing you can do is make sure you submit good work. If you submit bad work, you have an even lower chance of getting it. Another factor is patience. If you keep wanting it, that is all you will focus on, and the more frustrating it will get in the long run. Don't make masters your goal, instead, set daily earnings goals to keep you motivated.
I have 73 with 40 pending, most of which I have entirely forgotten about since I now limit my turking to transcription almost exclusively and only for one requester.
I have 473 Qualifications, plus a double masters which is photo masters which is easy to get as well as the harder classification masters. Ive complete around 215,000 hits and have a 99.8
I have 85 Approved, 52 pending, not a Master one in site, but desperately wanting it! Trying to make this a full-time job. I started turking 10/28/2012. $231.64 total earned, and I have 329 pending. Not sure how everyone makes the big money, but I want to! hehehehehe. HITs Submitted 3206 — ... Approved 2864 99.5% ... Rejected 13 0.5% ... Pending 329 —
