A few rules of thumb to consider: (1) Is this a job that computer would automate poorly (i.e. describing the contents of an image or summarizing a long article) and (2) Is this job something that is easy to communicate to others and has clear metrics for success. A good example might be: transcribe one minute of audio to text; a less promising example might be: compose a one minute piano sonata (though with the right testing and filtering, even this job could be accomplished with JobSpooler).
