Suggested by Jenn, here’s a link to determine your worth: Human for Sale. Their home page states:
Have you been thinking about putting yourself up for sale lately? Ever wonder how much money you could get on the open human market? HumanForSale.com will attempt to place a value on your life using a variety of criteria in 4 basic facets of life (physical,mental,lifestyle,personality). This is obviously a very subjective matter and is not intended and does not claim to be scientifically accurate. The more honestly you answer the questions, the more realistic the dollar value returned will be.
I think we can safely take the “realistic” dollar value with a great big grain of salt and tongue firmly in cheek. I went through the questions twice. When I left several answers blank I got a value of $1,817,052.00. Leaving just a couple answers blank (I honestly have no recollection of what my SAT score was) I got a value of $2,088,270.00. Just for kicks, I submitted the form without answering ANY questions and got a value of $610,000.00! Suddenly, I feel so cheap….
For a couple other perspectives on the value of your body, take a look at http://home.nycap.rr.com/useless/sell_your_body/index.html ($4.50 — $3.50 of that is for skin!) and http://www.soundmedicine.iu.edu/archive/2003/quiz/humanWorth.html (over $45 million).

I’m not reading your blog in return. By the way, how did you find yourself at the Paisley Schwa?
