Carla McCanna, a recent journalism graduate, was recruited by Outlier to train AI models despite lacking prior experience in data work. With the tight job market forcing many journalists to seek alternative careers, McCanna found this opportunity appealing due to its remote nature and decent pay. Since starting at Outlier, she has been earning roughly $35 per hour and has encouraged classmates to pursue similar roles as they navigate a challenging employment landscape in the journalism field, which has been hit hard by significant job cuts.
"While I'm looking for that full-time writing position, this [Outlier job] seemed great, because it's completely remote and it's good pay if you're consistent with it."
"It's hard right now, and a lot of my colleagues are saying the same thing. A lot of us are still looking for jobs."
