Pray you never get selected to serve on a grand jury. They can require you to serve for a full week every month, for up to 4 years (in PA at least). It's absolutely insane. You do get paid a little more though, I think it's $40 a day.
You can always request an exemption for financial hardship. But that means that it's never really a jury of your actual peers.
When I was called in for selection of the grand jury, so many people requested exemptions after hearing the insane requirements, the judge announced that no further exemptions would be granted.
