While struggling as an actor I used to make good money on the Market Research Circuit. I'd do three a week, picking up $100 a pop.
But then I had a crisis of conscience. The same one that lead me to calling my commercial agent and telling her that I couldn't do commercials anymore.
I don't want to help anyone sell anything. Ads are all lies and manipulation created to make you think you can't live without a product that you, essentuially, do not need. I couldn't take money helping the experts narrow in on thier "target demo" any more and quit doing the focus groups (and acting in commercials.)
