Easiest 30 Bucks I've Ever Made

Today I finished a study with the exercise science department, and made an easy $30. All I had to do was go in twice, a week apart and ride two different bikes 40km. I just show up, get my leg shaved by some grad student named Ruth, get several electrodes and reflector balls taped up to me, a few cameras are pointed at me, and off I go on their fancy trainer with a fun virtual course ahead of me on some computer screen. I've decided I like getting paid for the things that I would be doing anyways.

ok. That is pretty cool. How did you find out about it - or how did they find you? Did they only shave one leg?

Welcome to my life. Not the shaving legs part, but the getting paid for something you like to do or would do anyways.

Sweet! I'll bet you threw off their study though because you are so incredibly fit and buff. I hope you get to do the follow-up study that pays $60!
