Your Questions About Quick Ways To Make Money In College

Daniel asks…

What is a good way to make good, quick money?

I currently live out in the middle of nowhere, Cottageville, SC, to be exact, and I work for a grocery store that only pays me minimum wage, $7.25. I have been working there for 8 months now and was promised a raise after 3 months that I am yet to see. Everyday that I work I do not take breaks at all and if I do, it is only for 10-15 seconds to drink something and I go straight back to finishing what it was that I was working on. My paychecks are anywhere from $80-$200, depending on how busy we are for that week. I only make enough to buy food, pay rent to my parents for living with them, and pay for gas for the rest of the week, then I am broke again. I do not own a vehicle, but have my girlfriend drive me to and from work because I totalled my vehicle two years ago and haven’t been able to purchase one since. I have been to college for a semester and passed all my classes, but could not finish due to financial issues and no job. With that in mind, does anyone know a way for me to LEGALLY make more money on the side, or even having me quit my job to make more money? Please, i really need some suggestions because I am trying to get back on my feet.

How college student make money?

I am 22 years old college student. I do not have a job and recently I have almost COMPLETELY run out of money. I am quite embarrassed by this. I just quit my job. Since I’ve been unemployed I’ve excelled dramatically in school. I have time to network and to be involved. I do wish to stay unemployed and spend my time to focus in school.

Are there any quick ways to make money? How did you survive in college? Any strategies? Tips to manage money?
I do not want to take out a loan or ask my parents for money. I come from a low income family. I receive financial aid. I commute.

Thank you for your help

I am ALMOST graduating but I remember applying for any job near by my place on my freshman year. I used almost all advertisements I see, there’s kijiji, google, ads on billboards in school as well. I remember making $200 for one day just by walking my neighbours dogs, and I mean DOGS with S. If you are desperate enough, you’ll get a job no matter what it is.

Ways to make some quick cash? Suggestions anyone?

I’m 13 and im looking for a quick and easy way to make some money.. I have done a little bit of babysitting… i want to have a savings account, and have enough money in it to buy a car when i get my permit and license. Also college..? Only 13, but time flies.. PLEASE HELP(:

Nagesh answers:

Hate to break it to you, but there are no “quick and easy” way to make money. You either have to work really hard or get really lucky. If you’ve done babysitting before, you should probably look into that a bit more. Maybe you could build a reputation as a reliable baby sitter, and that way, you can charge more money. Good luck.
