Pros

If you need a temporary job and a steady income is not a concern, or you want the flexibility to not have a a regular 9-5 job, phone or field data collection can be a good way to earn an income.

Cons

Working on projects doing data collection over the phone or in the field is temporary, so there is not much stability in this kind of job. Periods of unemployment between projects is likely.
