Most of you interested in this subject have definitely explored the web and local for opportunities to earn extra few bucks while you are at college. In today's blog post I will provide a list of ways to earn few extra bucks while at college from my own experiences and from other blog sites.
College students during sleepless nights of college work spend hours studying and reading trying to ace their exams. During this hectic college life if you can make a few bucks by doing something that would only take couple of your hours or a small effort, would favor the odds of winning college students liking in participating in those cash earning activities. College students live on very small budgets, unless of course you prefer a luxurious life style which would be infeasible for a small budget. But a couple of bucks means a lot to most college students, it could help them pay for a midnight snack, or to enjoy an event or simply get drunk… yes I said get drunk.
I was one of the college students that lived on a small budget, so every opportunity to earn couple of bucks meant a lot to my budget and so will it be for most other college students.
1- Although 18 credit hours or 20 credit hours is an extremely heavy work load for most majors, for some college students finding time for a part-time 20 hours per week small retail or food service related job would definitely earn a good income on a monthly basis to pay for rent and food and other accessories. (Part time job)
2- If you live in a dorm, keep an eye on the bulletin board. Not only in dorms keep and eye for all the message boards on campus outside and inside buildings and classrooms. There can be opportunities that would make you some cash.
Things that will appear on message boards that would earn you some money are;
Experiments - Department of business, engineering, psychology etc. get grants all the time which are invested towards good use to improve academia. These are then used by masters of graduate students to perform experiments for their researches, for which they need participants. These participant finding attempts will only find the message boards across campus, providing college students the opportunity to make extra money.
Some example of these types of experiments is; finger print study, economic study, speech study. These would get you $10-20 for a session
3- If you hate needles then this is not the way to earn extra cash for you. Plasma donations can earn you somewhere from $10 to $40. This as the officials at plasma donation center would advice can be performed repetitively twice a week by a healthy individual. This option is only available if you are AIDS free and STD free and all the other diseases transmit through blood. But if you are going to hit this option be ready to let a thick needle pierce through your arm. With all that information, I would rank think option as the Last resort for money.
On the easy donation of bodily items, another area is sperm donation. Now this leave to individuals who want their kids running around the world (I said world because you will never know where this sperm is going to end up). Someday the child will want to know their dad which will come to haunt you down or it may not. If that doesn't bother you there is your choice, with an extra earnings of ranging from $1-200/week.
4- There is also bone marrow donation. More money for more pain you have to resist.
These options below are taken from other websites.
1- Tutoring students for few bucks
2- Sell things on eBay
3- Secret shopper
4- Surveys sites, inbox dollars, sendearnings (earn cash for checking emails and taking surveys)
If you are a college student and hoping to make few extra bucks for the weekend I hope this post helped you look for things around campus that you haven't thought about before.
