$10 a perspective
September 21, 2007 – 1:40 pm0.25c per mistake found.
That was the deal my entrepreneurship teacher made with us. Our class is the Guinea pig of his new book. If we were the first person to find a mistake and tell him, he gives us a quarter.
A lot of people scoffed.
I am not sure why. I smiled. I need quarters for laundry. It costs me $2.50 a week to do laundry. I figure if I find 12 errors a week doing reading that is assigned anyways (an extra 2 factoring in the possibility of someone else finding an error before me) then my teacher just paid for my laundry. I like the sound of that.
Perspective can make a big difference sometimes. A lot of students have to pay for laundry. This semester, my professor pays for mine.
