Writing for Low Pay

Never say never but, I was offered a "paid" writing position. Sounds nice and it's cool to call myself a paid writer. I've been paid to write several times since I started freelancing about two years ago.

However, I am very reluctant to accept work that pays less than a penny per word. It just doesn't seem right to me to pay so little with the justification that, "there is more where that came from".

Alright, there is an ongoing stream of jobs to choose from but what if I'm too choosy? What if I want more?

Should I feel guilty for not accepting?

What if I really needed the money? Would I do it then? Maybe.
