Your Questions About Quick Ways To Make Money In College

Lisa asks…

What is a quick way to raise money in the next thirty days?

My good friend received an amazing scholarship to a wonderful school, only two are given out a year. He still needed to find money for the rest of tuition which he did so through loans, etc. While attending a full load at this school, he is also attending part-time online at a community college which he also received a partial grant and some loans. However, even after checking with multiple counselors about these money issues while attending both schools, they all said it was okay. Now, a month into his first semester, the community college is telling him he has to pay back all this loan and grant money in thirty days or else he will lose everything he has worked so dilligently for. How could a miscommunication like this happen? How is this fair? Any ideas that can help me raise $2,700 in the next thirty days to help him stay in school? Please Help!

The first thing that comes to my mind is why does your friend have only 30 days to repay the loan? I’d try to get an extension, appeal to the powers that be to have payments extended over time, so that he doesn’t lose credits. It seems to me that the administration doesn’t really want him to lose out; just is prompting him to pay up, something now at least.

To raise money, there are many ways. One of the best I’ve seen is for a student or other person to just stand on a street corner with a sign, reading” “Rent a Slave.” He offers to do home tasks, repairs, other tasks on weekends, etc. It wouldn’t be quick money but it, it think, is effective for someone like your friend. Once he tells his story to a person who might hire him, he could probably get more for each job than otherwise.

But good luck to your friend. Do check on the payment over time aspect of his loan. Or possibly he can refinance it, too, with the original source, even.

How to collect change faster/ where people most often loose change?

I’m currently doing the 52 week money college with the time cut in half, and still collecting as much change as possible. Ill be cleaning my room this week (big challenge I know -.-) and I’ve been accepting ALL the change even pennies from the customers that are willing to give them to me at work. I’m looking for ways to fill up my big ‘ol jar faster! I’m not looking for a “get rich quick scam” but looking for more places to look to collect some change where people generally loose it.
Any ideas?

Nagesh answers:

People often drop change at the drive-thru window, and don’t pick it up.

You could look under the cushions of couches and chairs in waiting rooms.

Or under vending machines.

I’d imagine there’d be a lot of lost change at a video arcade.

What is the best way to sell stuff door-to-door?

I am 17 years old and I am trying to raise money for college, because I need a lot! I am selling rolled up chocolate wafers that I bought with my money for 3 dollars each, and I went to five houses and they all said that they have no cash. I need some tips for this, because I am very shy and I feel like I am going to die when I go to people’s door to try to sell it, and I have only gone to 5 houses! How can I do this easily without all of this anxiety?

Nagesh answers:

Door-to-door sales is an antique form of sales now. I am really surprised that any business still does that. Most people feel the same towards someone at their door trying to sell them something as to the telemarketer bothering them on their phone- you won’t be well received.

To make a sale- you must have salesmanship. You’ve got to have a sales pitch that makes your potential customer want more. Most likely, you are going to be selling something that your potential customer has no need for. And you must have a pitch that makes them think “You know, I guess I really could use a new XYZ product right now. Mine is a couple years old now.”

Personally, I think story tellers make the better salesmen, because you are basically telling a story as to why your potential customer needs the product you are trying to sell them.

As for anxiety- the only way to overcome it is to keep doing it. If you are noticeably nervous talking to a potential customer, they will probably slam the door shut in your face with a quick “No thank you,” Repetition, repetition,repetition. If you have a big problem controlling your anxiety- stand in front of a mirror or do role playing with friends or family and just keep practicing your intro and sales pitch until you feel comfortable doing it.

Hope this and others can help you. Good luck

Betty asks…

Is it easier to go to technical school or a university for radiology?

I was planning to go to Armstrong Atlantic State University and take some core classes to get the feel of college. But someone told me, if i knew that i was going to major in radiology then i could go technical school and start right way at what i want to do.

So can i get some ideas and your input on the best road to go?
Well either schools affect my salary in the long run?
Which one is the quicker way to get my “dream job”?

Nagesh answers:

I don’t know how it works at that particular school, but it does not matter what school you go to as long as it is accredited. I actually recommend hospital programs, which give you a certificate – better training, less money. A degree doesn’t make you any more money as a tech; it’s only necessary if you want to go into management or teaching. You can always go back to get your degree after you are a working tech. That’s what I did.
