It seems to me that the most efficient way to earn 1 BTC for the average individual is to participate in a minimum wage job and then directly convert the fiat produced into Bitcoin by dumping it on an exchange. If the minimum wage job nets $10 an hour and you participate for 12 hours a day, you should (if my maths is correct) have 1 BTC in five days.

If 12 hours a day sounds too extreme, then I'm guessing you can adjust it so that putting 2 hours towards it everyday should be able to get you up to 1 BTC in 1 month flat, etc.
Has anyone here tried this method before? How easy was it? And how would this compare to say, using faucets or other methods of earning BTC?
Wouldn't a more efficient way to earn 1 BTC be participate in a job that pays the minimum wage plus $0.01 ($7.26 per hour in the US)?
I hope you understand my point.
