Post ways for college kids to make money

i don't understand why college kids are always so poor when there are SO many ways to make money. unless you pay for your own tuition/books. i guess that would put a damper on things.
1. donating plasma
$20 the first time
$25 the second time
$20 the third
$30 the fourth
plus $2 every time you're on time for your appointment
plus $10 if you donate six times in a month
plus another $20 if you donate 13 times in two months

2. laundry
all the boys in my dorm hate to do my laundry, so they pay the cost of washing and drying, provide detergent/dryer sheets, and pay me $5 each time

3. being creative
i sell hemp necklaces plus the soaps and purses my mom makes around campus

4. medical studies
there are so many drug studies and tests to do that only require a few hours of your time but pay well

5. bi-monthly checks from parents
those are always nice to get.

getting a job is too boring. i'd hate to go the same place at the same time every day and be around the same people. my ways are much more creative. plus i can do them on my own time which leaves more time for studying and school.

sometimes if im a bit strapped for cash i sell my stuff at the markets. i paint, so i sell my paintings. also sometimes i sell sculptures and painted wooden boxes and things like that. ive gotten paid over 200 dollars for one painting before.
also i sometimes set up a face painting booth for the little kids and that earns me a bit of money...its fun, too. the kids are so cute.
markets are fun!

NOT TRUE!!! Most places offer $1500-2000 a shot. I've seen you post this before and its just an outrageous amount.
Sure, if you find some rich family willing to give you $20,000.....but that's pretty rare. clinics rates are a fraction of that

The movie theatre by me has an add for egg donors... and the add says "15K and up"
I don't know what kind of a place it is, I've never called to check it out.

peabody - i have sex for pleasure, not money
mayfuck - i have yet to receive an email from siraj. [email protected]
melancholia - the hormones they inject into you in order for you to donate eggs are bad for you, especially if you want to have children in the future. plus you have to be at least 21.

donating plasma: you go in there, pee in a cup the first time to test for drugs (but they don't test for weed) and answer questions (have you had sex with a man from africa who has had sex with another man who has a blood transfusion before 1977?). then they put a needle in your arm and take your blood. this lasts for five minutes, and then for the next five minutes the blood is put back into you. this goes on for about 40 minutes, you can't feel when they're taking it out/putting it in. then you're done.

the job i plan on getting after i graduate college is that of an English teacher. Until then i'll do what i enjoy.

Honestly.

Niki, I often defend you when people call you 'slut' and 'STD farm', but when I see posts like this, I can't feel sympathetic. You're doing everything you can to avoid actually getting a god damn job. You know, with a steady income so you don't have to whore your BODILY FLUIDS. Fuck, I love you Niki, but sometimes I want to smack you in the head.

I'd like to plead the "get a damn job" argument, but I'm sure it's really fucking hard to work a job into your schedule the first semester of your freshman year of college. By the time you go to all your classes, do homework, study, all that shit, there'd be very little free time. Especially if your classes are spread out through the morning and evening. I definitely don't plan on getting a job my FIRST year of college.

I'm doing #4 now (medical testing). I never thought it would come to this, but the $85 a week from the job isn't cutting it...

I'm testing a new asthma medication that is about to be released in Canada for widespread use. I get free asthma medication for 6 months, which saves me close to $100 a month.

Fine, I'm not getting paid, but I don't have to spend that hard earned cash on medication to keep me breathing. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif

my first year, i had a full course load, 20+ hrs a week work AND a social life, and my grades didn't fail one bit... frankly, if i can do it, anyone can.

I have 31 hours of class this semester (yes, that 9 courses) per week, I work 12 hours at my job, and I have a serious boyfriend... somehow in all of that I made the dean's list every semester and I have a social life. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif
