As many here seems to doubt the market for this thing:

Less than 10 years ago I was hired to do a job that was 80% mindnumbingly boring. (Think copy and paste to Excel.)

I was paid well above the USD50' that is mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

There was a team of us with widely different background and I think only me and one other had degrees in IT.

One of my colleagues came straight from a job as taxi driver (got hired after talking to someone in the company while driving him to the airport).

In case anyone wonders: he turned out to be really good.
