Yeah but it takes work to even find work for unskilled volunteers. It really does. I’ve given highschool students something similar…they arent qualified to do more.

And what are you thinking research is? Single-handedly conducting your own experiment? Most studies involve years of work, tons of tasks, and manpower of many people. So even as a faculty member or my PhD students, we might be posting notices, entering data, counting chips…IF we have those tasks and a highschool kid or undergrad willing to do them, great…but if we don’t we do them ourselves. And if we don’t have such tasks, we can’t find work that fits someone with no higher education yet.
