Have baby, earn $65/hour!
Jan. 9th, 2003 02:20 pmSo, to explain how Kieran made more than I do...
For fun, and because I'm a great fan of research, I signed Kieran up as available for infant studies at a university shortly after he was born. When spots open up in various studies and Kieran fits the demographics they're looking for, I get a call to see if we're interested. He has particpated in 3 so far, two visual and one hearing.
If you ever have a choice between two at the same time, go for the hearing study. Their stipends are amazing, and you get to kick back and listen to music (I chose U2) on headphones while researchers entertain your baby for you. Rough way to earn that hourly rate, right?
One factor all the studies have had in common is that each researcher said Kieran has an amazing attention span, and he went through each test faster than planned (hence the high hourly rate on the most recent study). Should be interesting to see if this pace continues in future studies, although somehow I doubt they'll will ever pay him that much to attend classes in the future!
