Ok. Let's try something different.
Just give up. Don't bother trying to make it in this business. There's no money in it. Go work for Walmart. Nothing to see here. Later, bruh.

Ok, today I'm driving 100 miles to the nearest town with a population over 10,000. I had two shops scheduled at $75 each. I got on my computer yesterday and checked PrestoInstaMaps, and found a couple end-of-month urgent bonused shops. Spent less than 5 minutes getting an e-mail off to the scheduler, and picked up two more $35 shops. The two $75 shops will take me about an hour each, including reporting; the two $35 shops will take less than half an hour each, including reporting.
My drive time will be 3 hours. Shopping and reports another 3 hours total. $220 total, for a short day of work. It's NOT $60 an hour. But it's over $30 an hour, and over half of that is tax sheltered by the mileage deduction.
And no, these amounts are NOT available every day. They ARE available about the last 10 days of the month.
And are applicable ONLY to me.
I can't say I "specialize" in any particular type of shop, but there are a lot of shops out there I don't have access to, being in a rural area. Or that I wouldn't do, even if I had access.
I can work shopping pretty steadily the last two weeks of each month, and earn about $200 a day. Now, in California or New York, that's chicken feed. But here, it's not bad at all.
Is it stressful? Yes. Have I screwed up shops and not gotten paid? Yes. Is it always MY fault? No. But usually, it is. If I can, I reschedule, re-do, apologize (profusely), and move on to the next one.
It's no fantasy. It's work -- hard, stressful work.

The mission is only to help protect innocent people from the misleading and constant cascade of misrepresentations about how much money they are going to make mystery shopping. The endless insults I have endured for bringing these lies to light are a small price to pay.

It's probably something you've grown accustomed to from your day-to-day life anyway.
