Your Questions About Fast Money Making Fundraisers

How to make 2,000 dollars FAST?

My art history class is going to Europe this summer. The cost of the trip is about $2,900. I’d be saving all my paychecks for my fund. I will be asking my parents for financial help, but there is no way they can pay for half, not to mention all. The only thing I can come up with is a fund raiser for myself. I’m 16 and I’ve never wanted to do something so bad. I doubt I’ll ever have another chance to experience Spain, and the 2 other places that we’d be visiting. WHATS A GOOD FUNDRAISER THAT WILL MAKE ME GOOD MONEY?

Nagesh answers:

If you have a talent like playing music or singing or something, you can try performing in the city and see if you can raise the $. Post a sign for what the $ is for. Or maybe you can tutor, babysit, do odd jobs for neighbors, etc.

Best of luck.

How long does it take hair to grow back?

I shaved my hair for St. Baldricks, a fundraiser to raise money for cancer research. I was just wondering how long it would take to grow down to shoulder length again, I am a girl. Is there anything I can do to help make it grow faster? Stronger? Healthier?

Nagesh answers:

Nope not exactly. But have fun being bald. And you did it for a good cause. I did 16 inches for locks of love last January.

Laura asks…

HEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!?

I don’t know what to do. I want to work a white collar job. Something that involves social skills along with fast thinking. Something that makes good money that requires me to plan fundraisers, organize/manage events or meetings. A job that requires me to sweep in money for the company. But I don’t want to be a secretary. What should I major in?

A second question, what can i do with a major in chemistry? I know, be a chemist. But what kind? Who would i work for? I don’t want to be a pharmacist that works at the cvs pharmacy or something. What other majors would i need to accompany with a chemistry major to be able to apply for that type of job?

Nagesh answers:

You should take a vocational interest test which will help to guide you along the correct path./

Nagesh answers:

Depending on where you live, there are some pretty good options.
Here is a great one that has potential to bring in a lot of $$ fast
Cow Patty Bingo!
Pick a field and divide it into equal size squares. Youth Program Volunteers sell tickets for squares on the field. (ie.:To play Cow Patty Bingo buy squares on the bingo field by purchasing a $5 ticket. A local cow will be released onto the field at two o’clock and the winner will be selected by the cow when it plops its calling card onto a square of its choosing. All eight surrounding squares can win second prizes donated by local businesses if you choose.) Choose someone, perhaps the head of the camp to be on hand to rule on which square wins in case of cross-over plops, or to oversee an ordinary drawing on the off-chance that the cow doesn’t get the urge in a reasonable period. First prize can be anything from a cash reward to something donated by an area business. People usually get pretty into this because it is so crazy. One of the schools out by me made $26,000 doing this. However they sold the tickets for $10 and they had over a thousand kids selling tickets for them. Click on my avatar and contact me if this sounds good but not enough details. Hope i can help. Good luck!!
