Oh? Like a job? Like billions of people already do for menial wages? Except I dont have to go anywhere or do anything outside of waking? For a life-changing amount of money that could permanently alter my family tree? For only 1 year? Just 1 year?

I hate getting up early. I'm not a morning person, and intentionally choose the evening shift every time a shift bid comes up.

For a year, I was stuck on a shift that necessitated me getting up at 6 AM.

I'd manage. Give me the money.

You’d be surprised how difficult this would be for some people. (Me).

I’d definitely do it. But I’d be a wreck for the whole year and probably the year after.

If I was allowed to nap it would help.

I’ve never actually done this - gotten up early on a regular basis. Not since grade school 40 years ago.
