The ones on T.V. you will not make money with, but research colleges do pay you to take their surveys. I can not tell you how to get on their payroll, but somehow I got on Duke's (I don't go to Duke). Every once in awhile I will get an email about a study they are doing on college students drinking, or violence on campus, or something like that, and when I finish they put $15 dollars into my pay pal account. I would start calling research colleges and I'm sure you will find one that will pay you for your thoughts. I know Wake Forest does it too.
