2006-08-01 04:03:07 · 13 answers · asked by Killer 3 in Education & Reference Higher Education (University +)

i'm doing full time at a University and can't handle a job this time...
have YOU ever done full time at work and full time or more at school? i didn't think so....and if you have, then you know how painful it is.
Besides, i'm getting some federal aid, but it's not much...I do work on some odd-jobs but even they aren't doing much.
And i don't play X-box...or any video games.

First of all, have you tried getting a federal direct loan? Freshmen get around $2500 a year and it goes up the more credit hours that you have earned. Next i would try doing a work-study at school, they will pay you for it and its on campus. Or try working at a food court on campus, they will not give you any more work than you can handle. Set up a savings account that will pay you interest. Have a yard sale and finally get rid of stuff that you were holding on to...thats $100 bucks right there. Offer cleaning services to your area for one or 2 days a week and make around $75 bucks a week doing that. Sell your sisters Barbie thats still in the box on ebay. Buy a lottery ticket (just one! i am only recommending this because you "might" get lucky). The next time tuition pay is need, I suggest you be prepared. Start a little garden with some tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers and stuff and sell it for butt loads at the farmers market (ppl love organic stuff). Try to find a job cleaning office spaces of a night (I hear that it pays well). Other than that, I wish you luck and hope that you have enough money.

Well...

One month, hey?

Try renting a room in your house, for once. This should give you at least $350 for one month. It will be a little uncomfortable, but if you're willing to bear it, it should be beneficial.

Then offer your services as a personal chef. Create a menu after going over several internet recipe websites, and use the kiss method: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Don't overdo it. Ask for $50 from each client. If you can get $50 from each, and a client each week (Craislist), you have another $200.

You now have $550.

A part-time job can spare you another $250 easily within one month.

Now you have $800.

Nanny your way to $200.

Or tutor someone on something.

Or make a sculpture out of junk from a junk yard and sell it.

Or just try anything, for Christ sake.

But don't try prostitution, of course. It's illegal.

Work at Social Security. They Start you off with no less that 10$ an hour. One pay check is about 600 or more. I work there so I would know. I save half of my paychecks to put towards college. Good Luck to you. Or you could try working at a manufacturing company. If that doesn't work ask your parents or a family member.

You should have thought about that in the beginning of the summer! How about going to yard sales and reselling the items on ebay. Mow lawns, wash and wax and "detail" cars in your neighborhood... you do a good job and word will travel fast! I would go with $60/car for inside vac, windows and a wash/wax... it's a bargain for them and after 15 cars... you're there! Each car should take you about 4 hours if done correctly.

sell your car, ride a bike, get a job that is close to home so that you can ride the bike to work. Save your money for tuition first and then another cheaper vehicle.
