College peoples...where do you get cash?

PoBoy · 09-17-2002, 03:00 AM

Im broke, but Im in school full time for 4 more months...I need cash flow!

So the question is: for you college peps, how do you afford your new toys?

Assembly line job, waiter, envelope stuffing, plasma donors, sperm donors? Is there anything that pays $10/hour for doing nothing? Anyone got one of those great hidden jobs?

Thanks for any input

Hmmm, depends where you live, but try a company called "Cintas". they are in most major cities. I make 9.40$ an hour, rolling rugs. It sounds just as boring as it is. They have a high turn around with employees, so they pay well, and give quick raises. Its dirty nasty stinky hard work, but it pays well, and you get to meet interesting people, such as the guys I work with "Albino Brother" and "Freakin dumb vocational school boy".
Vocational school boy is escpecially the idiot, yesterday he tried to tell me that there is a dude at school that takes about Lambourghinis all the time, so Voc School boy tells him he could build a civic to outrace the Lambo for under 30k$. He asked me if he was right. I said technically, but with both stock, the Lambo would win, and he keeps saying "Yeah, but it costs more, put some money into the civic instead", Try as I might, I could not make this boy understand the difference in class between a lambo and civic, it saddens my heart :-(

When I started school I had scholarships which added up to $700 over my tuition.. my parts sprung for my books, and I would take dictation for money when people work working on term papers etc..

work during summer, spend during school year - but during the year, i do computer jobs around campus. I have made enough of a name for myself that if something breaks, i fix it. People will beg to pay you if you fix their computer

you could see if there is a blood bank around your area. we have a plasma bank that gives out some pretty good money for not doing much. like $15 for the first time (2hrs), and $25 for the 2nd time(1hr) and so on.

if all else fails, try a sperm bank...heh :P

I'm actually about to run down to U of Texas to post some flyers about a job opening. I know it sucks being in school and broke, so that's why I'm going to the campus. I'm looking for a graphic artist who can design attractive, professional postcards. Work from home, yadda, yadda, yadda. If you've got any artistic talent, PoBoy (or anyone), PM me for more details.

If not, I'll crawl back under my rock.

Admins, if you don't like this post, say so and I'll take it off.

hey, i fix computers too! i forgot, hehe.. the other week i reinstalled xp, configured the dial-up internet connection, downloaded drivers for the internal soundcard and newest gf4drivers and drivers for the monitor on a friends moms workmates pc. She said: how much do i owe you? I said: how much do you think it's worth? then she told me she didn't have enough money at home, and that i would come back tomorrow

Do like I did and get an engineering co-op or some kind of semester internship

I work for Lutron Electronics in their Home Systems department

Reduce your over heads:

Eat rice (A 10Kg sack will last a whole term!), & win all your beer in pub quizs.

Seriously I found that magazines will pay reasonable money for articals, especially if they contain a lot of photos. For a couple of hours work one evening you can easilly make a couple of hundred.

I was implying technical style magazines like computer & electronics ones. Not the top shelf mags, I'm sure they'll buy photos as well, but I've got no idea how much they pay.

Get a job?

If you have a car can I suggest some sort of delievery job. You can make min-wage (or greater) + tips. Easy $10 - $20 an hour.

lstrunk · 09-17-2002, 09:41 PM

Dude, I would rather sell my testes than submit my car to a delivery job. That could easily put 10k miles on it in a term, where talking all kinds of wear going on!
