Ok, I'll bite, mainly because I think you want to explain it to the class.
What is mTurk? A very quick google shows it to be Amazon marketplace but crowdfunded, is it like Kickstarter?

I thought the point of crowdfunding was to start a business without needing banks, not to get money out of it by hook or by crook...

You should really compare the money you will make on mTurk with the money you will make on other sites in the net.
Signature campaigns are a better bet compared to mTurk.

I agree with you. Can you tell me list of websites where money can be made with signature campaigns (like on bitcointalk.org) ? Thanks

You should be able to bypass the registration limitation in your country by using a free proxy, not even necessarly buying a legitimate VPN.
If you need to be outside that country for the whole process and not only registration, you may need a VPN.

MTurk can be a pain in the ass tho. Unless you are in a poor-ish country, not sure if its worth it more than a real job.

I am not sure why amazon would exclude any particular country from participating in mTurk, however I would consider this to be a blessing. The amount you can realistically earn on mTurk is very low and is comparable to the amounts you would earn "working" faucets.

If you really want to use mTurk but cannot do so, then you should engage in collecting faucet payments, however either way you will really be wasting your time
