answer to this question in the survey

[riceman]

this question will be asked on most of the survey about your occupation.  Would you honestly tell the survey what you work for? and do you get qualified for the survey after that question?
I noticed that if the survey is about fast food for example and you said you work for a fast food restaurant, then mostly you will be disqualified after that.
I've been unemployed for awhile, so it was easy for me to choose none of the above option in the occupation question and continue on with the survey.  I would like to hear your experience about this one.  Please share.

thanks

One of the reasons that I usually get disqualified from surveys is because I work in market research. The question that you are referring to is known as a security question. You may notice that there is usually a question about working in market research. I am always honest and always say yes. More often than not, I am then disqualified. However, that is not always the case and sometimes I am allowed to continue and finish the survey.

When they ask questions, that is how they either qualify you or disqualify you.  For myself, I stopped doing surveys because I had a few experiences where I took a survey and spent so much time doing them and then when I requested my cash out, all of a sudden they said they did not approve my survey for payment.  I think this is almost criminal.  They let you get thru the entire survey and finish and those surveys take a lot of time to complete for them to come back after and not approve you for payment and there's nothing FC will do about it and I'm sure that survey company still used my information, but didn't pay me for taking all the time completing their survey so I decided to stop taking the survey all together.  If you can take the surveys and get paid, that's good, but in my case, after being told about four times that I wouldn't get paid for the surveys I completed, I gave up doing surveys, it's just not worth my time.
