Watching TV whole day was never so useful before. This new Generation can actually be couch potato professionally and yes can earn too.
Watching TV and giving viewer ratings is not only an entertaining job, but it also pays. Sitting and watching TV all day could be the easiest job ever.
Yes, this is a job where you get paid to watch television. Television shows like "The Daily Show" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" have these positions where people get entertaining or important TV clips to be used throughout the show.
What exactly you make while watching TV? You could be paid up to $12 an hour to do so. This "too good to be true" job is required by certain television productions including late night talk show, news satire programs and other productions that focus on using clips and quotes from the world of television for comedic purposes. Even companies that keep track of the rating for every single television show hire professional couch potatoes to ruin their eyes for money.
The average salary for professional TV watcher jobs is $53,000. Average professional TV watcher salaries can vary greatly due to company, locations, industry, experience and benefits.
Okay so sounds like you just have to sit around whole day that means you don't any specific qualifications to become a TV watcher. Of course! All this job needs a television-obsessed intern to sit around and watch TV to find newsworthy clips for social commentary. The jobs require a good eye and the ability to sit. The schedule is flexible but requires a minimum of 15 hours a week. However, there's a lot more work involved than just passively watching your favorite show. Pro TV watchers usually scan through different shows and news clips, and find the right clips that can be used on a television show or news program. "Close attention to details" is one of the necessary skills, along with being familiar with the technology of TIVO and DVD players.
Some of the qualities are required in a person though. Along with being detail oriented, he/she should be able to sit long time and have patience to watch many shows at one stretch. He/She must love watching TV and should be able to rate the programs.
What do you think of it? Many of us must be jumping off their couch to read this because the best time pass activity will just pay them off if they join. Besides no one will have complaints in home regarding to many hours of TV watching. So you could be a couch potato officially and respectfully.
It is definitely not a job where you could expect a lot or a big pay back, but it is something which you could do when you are in phase of just doing nothing and waiting for your career to pick up or maybe you are not finding the right job and you are taking a break. It is a best bet to students and women. You can meet many out there who incorporated TV show in their life so much that it's difficult to find out they are discussing is real or reel situation.
