A question for all you MS out there I keep being offered jobs but haven't taken any yet as they seem so poorly paid.
I live in a very rural area and I have to travel at least 10 miles to get to any of them so far.So not places I would go normally so would have to go out of my way.
The ones I am getting are ones where you have to buy something (about £100 value) :eek: Then take it back for a refund on the same day.

So are they worth it ? They are paying like £10-£15 and for me the amount of stuff they want you to check just doesn't seem worth it.

I guess its ok if you get a few in the same area but I am pretty limited in this area for jobs.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mav

Do you follow the MS thread? I follow tje facebook one. And rhe established MS will only di things like that if they aree already in the area doing other jobs and rwmain in the area ti complete the job. You need to factor in travel costs and NI for these jobs. Is it worth it after youbtake the deductions off? Oh and tax. If you are going to be there anyway then take tax and ni off, is it worth it? If you are gping out o your way what you are left with is probqbly not worth it.

Thats what I thought TBH don't it will be worth it for me,Just think they are desperate for M shoppers in this area as its off the beaten track and a coastal area.
Think they will give up asking me soon as I always say no sorry I cant :rotfl: Or thinking to myself I am not doing it for that :rotfl:

Thanks for seconding what I thought much appreciated.

If they are desperate it might be worth mentioning the travel as i know someone who gets travel expenses as a special bonus because of where she lives
