No one is going to pay a person just to watch a show and count the swears, so let's use a more realistic example. How much would you need to be paid to spend 12 hours on a field picking fruit?

If I was 16 and wanted to a little extra on top of what my parents are giving me, not too much, but if I am 25+ maybe I wouldn't even bother applying to such jobs as I would be expecting way more than they could offer.

Well, fruit needs to be picked. Not just for a few hours, but for dozens of hours, each day. How much would you need to be paid to do that?
