Luckily financial aid is covering a huge part of it. But question is, how did you make that extra $$$?

Replies HatesYou Posted at 8:19 pm on April 8, 2008 Money is everywhere now, well in terms of scholarships and whatnot. In case you haven't looked into more financial support, check out this site for scholarships and grant applications. Everyone struggles to pay off their college debt, even graduates end the year in debt. Some colleges offer work study, which is basically a job they offer to help you out during your stay in that school. You are capable of putting the money you earn in work study toward anything but tuition though, which sucks, but helps you out with living expenses. In case you haven't received work study from your school, you can always call them and request it. Never be shy! It's something every college student must learn! tscott 87 Posted at 6:07 pm on Feb. 12, 2008 Get a part-time job... or better yet, apply for CoOperative education if your college offers it, or try to find a place to work as a paid intern. stanleygoodspeed Posted at 4:42 pm on Jan. 31, 2008 Affiliate marketing is the best way to make money in college, plus its great to get good at because even if you don't want to spend a lot of time doing it, you can do it in your spare time and make some extra money.  But if you do want to get good at it and work at it, you can make absolute bank. If you want to find out more about affiliate marketing, which I have been doing at school, check out this squidoo lens which explains it more, and how to get good at it. http://www.squidoo.com/moneyincollege TheatreMinelli Posted at 4:24 pm on Nov. 28, 2007 I signed up with a Hospitality temp agency. Its good, I get to work around my studies, the basically ring me up at the start of the week and ask if I want to work any jobs that week, if I do they put me down for them if I don't no problems they will ring me back the week later and ask again. I can work anything from 0-50 hours per week if the work is there. thestudentsplace Posted at 9:05 am on Nov. 19, 2007 try doing some stuff online. If you have really cool friends you can host your own chatroom and get paid for the ads that are shown on there, you can also play free games for cash. you can chat and surf the net for gift cards, you can write articles and sell them, you can sell a service that you know how to do on craigslist.com. Theres many things you can do to make extra money while in college. PM if you want more ideas, I've written articles for students who want to make money while in college without an investment. dontfearthegovt Posted at 7:38 am on Nov. 5, 2007 a lot of kids i know deal drugs, other have work-study, some sell blood/semen, some sell their bodies (i know... dont do it). others just spend wisely littlebigwonder Posted at 2:40 pm on Nov. 4, 2007 working fulltime, i take online classes :\ collegestudenthub Posted at 1:35 pm on Nov. 4, 2007 I used to teach other students & teachers how to start their own ebay business and it worked out great because I was getting to know more teachers and students and I was making money at the same time. genevieve26 Posted at 5:11 am on Nov. 4, 2007 Some ideas to earn extra money: 1. Tutoring students 2. Using skills you have 3. MLM businesses Personally, I find that an internet business is an easy way to create a passive income because: 1. Requires small to zero capital 2. Gets started right away and easily 3. Allows you to work from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection 4. Has unlimited potential to earn money 5. No age or education requirements 6. Doesn't need you to have to have a company What you need to do is to learn about the internet business as much as possible to discover whether it is for you and what your strategy is. There is free information around. Good luck. dreamweaver Posted at 2:01 pm on July 1, 2007 Quote: from spiderwebs at 10:33 pm on June 14, 2007 and how hard is it to get a job when there's like 10000 kids who probably are looking for a job as well in a 10mile radius Sign up for work study with the university to see if you're eligible.  That's an easy way to earn money towards your tuition and maybe even a little extra. I do it and I love the job the university assigned me- I work at an ice rink! I have to work a minimum of like 7 hours a week to make enough towards my tuition (it's like $400 but hey it's something) and if I work extra hours, I get the money sent to me. :)   If you're interested, talk to the financial aide office at your school to get more info.  The sooner the better.   innocentlymorbid Posted at 2:19 am on July 1, 2007 3 jobs :( AtomicCactus Posted at 9:58 pm on June 16, 2007 Check out the school.  There's tons of positions there -- fast food joints, call centre, copy centre, various stores on campus (eg book store), etc. Due to the nature of my degree, it's pretty much impossible for me to get a job during the school year, apart from being a teaching assistant (which I'll be doing next year).  Usually working in the summer makes me enough bling for tuition and books for the year (along with scholarships). spiderwebs Posted at 7:33 pm on June 14, 2007 and how hard is it to get a job when there's like 10000 kids who probably are looking for a job as well in a 10mile radius spiderwebs Posted at 7:33 pm on June 14, 2007 is it really any hard maintaining a job while doing your best in college? how many hours a week did you work n such? the smell of money Posted at 6:17 pm on June 14, 2007 get a job Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
