In college how to make money?

I am in community college and getting prepared to go to a 4 year university and really need help with how to make money i have a part time job right now and its not paying enough for me to go to school next year… Ive looked into scholarships but they all seem pretty much impossible to get… does anyone know of a way to make quick cash with out being a drug dealer or using a credit card?

Nagesh answers:

Did you fill out the FAFSA? That’s the free application for federal student aid. It doesn’t hurt to fill it out. You might qualify for a grant. If not, you’ll probably qualify for a student loan which is way way better than a credit card. As far as your credit score goes, student loan debt is considered ‘good debt’ as opposed to a credit card which is bad debt. If you go with a federal student loan you wouldn’t have to make payments untile 6 months after you graduate and some of the loans don’t accumulate interest until after you graduate. They’re fairly low interest. It’s at least something for you to consider.

Laura asks…

How can make quick, legal money without taking out a loan or selling things [because I have none]?

Let me tell you a little bit about myself, first of all….

I was raised as a foster child in a group home. I don’t have any parents to financially support me, and the only way that I receive money is through federal work study at my school. I can only work 5 hours a week, my pay is $8/hour, and I only get paid once a month. The only way that I’ve been able to get by, is because I’m in college and I am living in a dorm. My grades are really good, and I’m paying for my schooling through a full scholarship. Paying for books and all is not an issue for me right now.

I really want a job right now. I am going to save up this last check of mine, and pay for classes to get my license. That is already squared away. By the end of June, I will have my license.

My next step is getting a job…But I cannot get a job that’s near me. Nobody is hiring…I live in Columbia, SC and most jobs are driving distances away. I have some work experience, mostly in the food industry, but nothing fantastic. So I figure, I’ll have to get a car before I can get a job.

THAT is my problem…I need money to get a car, and a car to get me TO the money. I don’t know which one to get first. I was hoping you all could help me figure out a few things….like when or where there are car auctions, or maybe if there is a way to get a car for extremely cheap (since I did grow up as a foster child, maybe there is some kind of program out there that I do not yet know about?), what kind of insurance is cheapest (I heard about no fault insurance, but I have no idea what it really is or how much it costs), and possibly some tips to earn quick money. I was wondering if you knew of any particular online thing, or program out there, to get some extra cash, or whatever…

I’m desperate. I need to get my life together so that I can make it through school and get an education and actually CONTRIBUTE something to society. I know I have a lot of questions, and I’ll take whatever advice you can give me!

Thank you so much, and your help is very much appreciated!

Nagesh answers:

First up you dont need an ‘education’ to be able to contribute to society or be successful. Second, getting a job means making money for someone else!

You can do anything to make money! You just need to think a little different from the herd. For example, you can sell stuff on ebay, anyone can. One mans rubbish is another mans treasure, you just have to find the $ gap (what you get it for / gap / what you sell it for). Example:- I was given an old pair of B&W speakers with a blown driver, The tweeters alone are worth around £40 inc fees, let alone the working bass drivers / crossovers / one good cabinet.

This is a simple example of being a middle man. Downside risk = near nothing / Upside risk = ????..Is it hard work? Perhaps, depending on what kind of person you are. Think about this, your prepared to work hard and spend money for the privledge of making money for someone else. How about investing some of that time and effort towards making money for yourself!
