Life of a Data Labeler

We were wondering how much of an impact this could have on people’s lives — so we asked some of our labelers for times when working for Scale made a positive difference in their lives. Living in Venezuela, saved enough money to emigrate and pursue a master’s degree in data science

The great difference between the reality of my life and the life of a person in the United States is the peace and tranquility that comes from economic stability: being able to eat without worrying about running out of money; being able to buy clothes frequently; not having to worry about covering the most basic needs, such as water; not having to worry about transportation problems; and, most importantly (at least for me), is that by working hard and staying focused on a goal, one can achieve the desired objectives. If I did not have a job with Scale, it would have been simply impossible to reach my goal of legally emigrating from my country, which is currently in a political and economic crisis.
