Many of us have all been there. I've done just about everything, including selling plasma and participating in experimental drug testing at the university hospital.
I made more money than anything else by getting into a job associated with my major (chemistry) earlier than I probably would have if I wasn't broke. I found out that there are a ton of semi-technical jobs that require no degree or other training that pay roughly twice or more what I was making in retail/etc. It was grunt work (grinding & polishing steel samples in a lab, for example), but it paid well and was fantastic for my resume. I met a lot of other folks that did the same in hospitals, law office mail rooms, etc.
Money doesn't grow on trees, though. It takes time to work for it, differentiate your talents, and earn more or less than the next person. At 18, I wish I could have had just a little bit of the money I have now, but it doesn't work that way. Scraping for every penny at that age is just the way it goes for all of us that don't have an inheritance.

No fast way to raise $500 when you are only 14 unless you borrow it and sign an agreement that you will pay them back $25 plus 2% per month on the outstanding balance.

Go into a medical study. I have a few friends that make excellent money on the side for this. For example: You are in the medical study for two weekends in a row (you have to stay there almost the whole weekend), and you walk away with $1200 - $1800. Try Pharma Medica.

Work as a waiter on weekends. You can makes hundreds a night. Hard work but good money if you have a flair for taking care of people. Easy money.

Sell drugs, JUST KIDDING! Please don't, but seriously you need to find a LEGAL hustle if you want to earn a lot fast.
