What are some ways to make extra money while in college?

What are some unique ways for college students to make money?

• What are some little known jobs or activities that college students should take advantage of to make money? For example, tutoring students.

• Answer:

  It really all depends on how much your are trying to make and what your goals are with this money, and the opportunities vary based on location and your student population. Here are some of the interesting ways with which I have experimented to make money: 1. Driving People - This works especially in colleges that are driving distance from big cities such as any of the schools in the suburbs of Boston. Advertise rides to the city, rides/pickups from airport, and general transportation services. The potential here is huge. All you have to do is be safe, courteous, and have a non-smoking car, and you can easily pull in 1,000 a month doing this. The downside is that your schedule might be a little inconsistent. However, during busy seasons such as before/after spring break and winter break, you can make up to $1,200 in a weekend. This is what happened to me: 3 people would each book a ride, each pay the agreed share, and I made 2x as much as a cab driver based on optimizing the schedule and grouping my clients together. 2. Chain subletting - You find a place to live off campus that is a steal by trying to find the lowest-end housing unit on the mls online market, preferrably with at least 2-3 bedrooms. Then, sublet individual rooms in the house to other people, students are usually retarded and are more likely to cause damage, but they are always guaranteed to pay because of help from their parents. You make money off the difference between what you pay and what you ask for. 3. Selling your class notes. There's a platform for it online right now! http://www.flashnotes.com/
