Default Could You Be A Census Taker?

It sounds to me like being a census taker is a great way to make extra money. On average I guess you can make $15 an hour! Thats not bad for walking around and talking to people!

Have you have been involved with a census?

I just took this quiz on CnnMoney about whether or not you have what it takes to be a census taker. I am happy to report that I passed lol! Maybe I will look into this further to make some extra money!

If you want to take the quiz follow this link...

Census Taker Quiz

Hey I am always looking for a way to make a few extra bucks and this is beginning to sound good to me. Besides the money I could use the exercise!

I took the test and aced it, but, I dont think that census taking would be a job that I would necessairly feel safe in doing and anyway, I am not all that much of a "people person".

One has to take into consideration that not all of the people you meet are "nice" ones and you may stumble into situations that are not the best ones to find yourself in.

I think that I would actually rather do a labor intensive job for a few dollars less per hour than to tackle being a "census taker".

You know it is so weird that this topic was on here today because I have seriously been thinking about being a census taker.

I have been on the internet looking for jobs and that one popped up and I was really thinking about checking into it.

I took the test and I passed lol,I am going to call the number I found and try to get that job,though temporary it is better than what I am doing right now.

Glad I added the topic! I hope you get the job!

I am a people person so I think I could do it plus it would give me excercise too lol!

I am an assistant manager in a store so I have to deal with all sorts of people. Nothing would suprise me lol!

Rae, let us know if you get the job and what its like!
