Rules 1) Every time you push the button you will earn $0.01 (or whatever your equiv is). There is no cooldown on this. Feel free to button mash. 2) You MUST physically press the button. No setting up a device to press it for you. 3) You MAY hold the button down, but doing so will give you only $0.01 every second instead of however fast you press it. 4) The button is secure. You can change the surroundings however you desire, but the button cannot be moved. 5) If you stop pressing the button for more than a minute, barring food and bathroom breaks, your 'shift' is 'done'. 6) Should you 'stop working' the button it will count as a work shift and you cannot touch it again until you've slept at least 6 hours. However, you may work it for however short or long you desire (and you can fall asleep at your desk while the button is pressed down). 7) You may do other things while 'working'. So long as you keep pressing the button. Would you take this job?

For 36 bucks an hour? Hell yeah. If the room gets wifi than i'll bring my labtop and just fuck around on the internet.

Seems like a great job. I don't know what the thought experiment analogy is...
The button pusher is getting paid too much. Imagine you're an author, and you just have to type garbage on the internet... and you are being paid 5 cents a word.

No, that would hurt my fingers after a while, it would be boring/depressing, and there are better ways to earn even more money.

Sounds simple but it would drag on. True casino story coming through.
A couple of years ago I was at a casino playing a penny slot. every single pull I won five cents. It was something like 15 cents a pull and I would win 20 cents every pull. From pressing repeat bet to spin again to when the wheels stopped spinning it was something like five seconds. So I was making basically a penny a second. Which was like $3 every five minutes or something like $36 dollars a hour. So I sat at this peculiar machine for ten hours and made around $360 dollars. The whole time I kept thinking am I playing the machine or is it playing me? $36 a hour is a pretty good wage for someone like me. But it was so horrifically boring with little feed back that I couldn't do something like that all the time. As for this penny counter I would probably do it. I cold crank out $3 a minute on average Which is $180 a hour. Which if I just do a hour a day everyday would net me 65k a year. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Seems like a great job. I don't know what the thought experiment analogy is... You could just type 'a' a lot. It IS a word and an article made up consisting of nothing but that would certainly be garbage.

Easily - The biggest perk being that no mandatory amount must be achived. Tap it as much or as little as I want per day. If I want to purchase something extravagent, tap it a few more times.
Though I'd still hold down my current job - doing strictly this one for a living would become a real downer. --- A plethora of DKC-related fanart to numb your mind: http://kjsteroids.deviantart.com ... Copied to Clipboard!

Seems like most people realize that the job pays well. I expected a bunch more people to act like the cash is too low.

I would take the job, but I'm not sure how many days (or weeks, or months?) I'd work at it. I'd definitely need to find plenty of ways to accomplish more meaningful tasks while I'm there.

I'd bind the button to my stomach with bungie cords for that sweet $36/hour $864/day $6048/week $314496/year.

I'd sit on the button and get paid to play my guitar all day long. I could even give beginners guitar lessons while sitting on the button to make even more money.

I'd put my feet up so my heel is pressing the button. 60 cents a minute, $36 an hour. If I could manage to stay in that position I'd made $288 and get 8 hours of sleep.

No I wouldn't take it. It's extremely limited and repetitive. It's not only the issue of money that I look for in a job. I like human interaction , flexible timings and a competitive environment. Kind of like the job I have now. It also pays well and is exciting to a degree.

Hmm.
I just timed myself and I can tap my fingers 40 times in five seconds without too much effort, so that equates to $4.80 a minute or $288 an hour, though I don't think I could keep up that full pace for an hour straight, let alone an eight hour shift. $36 an hour for just holding it down (plainly the better option from a quality of life perspective) would be a pay cut for me, although considering that you could just sit or lean on the button and play video games all day there is an upside there. Eh. I'd probably pass. I'm happy with what I do currently and I make more money that way. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
