*EDIT- thats also bad on my morals, but at least i dont have a half child running around.

Thank you for your morally upstanding contribution to our world.

no dice on sperm bank. its a big commitment. lots of paperwork, i think you have to agree to give multiple donations over the course of like 6 or so months, lots of screening, etc.

i'd say your best bet would be donating plasma. also, if you go to a decent size college, you could probably find some grad student or something thats doing a study and needs participants. they usually pay like $25-$50. i see flyers about stuff like that all the time around here.

<edit> not donate plasma, sell it. my bad :cool:

Yeah, this is pretty good I heard. But usually you won't be able to do it if you have class and another job.

better hope you dont come to my tech bench.. we use a mem config program from corsair that tells us what speeds are coded into the ram. we also will install vid cards and make sure they dont have swapped heatsinks as well

I don't see what the problem is here...when I was in school I worked ~25-30 hours a week (4 nights at 4-5hrs a night + 1 8 hour weekend day.) 25*6.10 = 152.50 * 2 weeks = $305, well over $200 even after taxes.

Good thing his plan suggested that if you worked 9 hour days you would only have to make 1.11 an hour to make that much. Seeing as minimum is 5 something, you would only need 15-20 hours a week.

Honestly, if you have any wait staff experience, you could make 100 in a long day at a nice restaurant.

Selling plasma will get you 25 bucks or so a pop, so theoretically twice a week will earn you a hundred bucks in a 2 week period.


I say play some basketball and get all sweaty, roll around in the dirt, find a piece of cardboard and write on there "Homeless, need food and money God Bless", preferably pee on yourself too to get a good stench going on. Stand on the street corner and get rich

<modified Family Guy reference> You could whore yourself out to 20 fat chicks for $10 each. Or 2 really fat chicks for $100 each.

Oops, my fault, i misread that. For some reason i thought he was referring to being a substitute in high school.
