What would you do with the $900 you get from selling your blood plasma for a year?

Just curious.

we used to get a whole lot more than that when I gave during college. That equates to less than $9 per visit

You could do it every 3-4 days IIRC. Didn't do it that often but when you're broke it's an easy$30-40.

EDIT: found this http://www.biolifeplasma.com/e...nating-plasma/faq.html

How often can I donate plasma?

The body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly; therefore, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice in a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations.

They don't take your blood... just the plasma. The rest gets pumped back into you.

I don't know... Hard liquor and hookers?

I mean, that's what most people spend their blood donation money on, right? :)

Spend it on making sure that the shipping company doesn't sent it to some pub.

I don't know about you guys, but I've NEVER gotten paid for my blood. All I get is cookies and bug juice, and the opportunity to fake a faint so the hot nurses will pick me up.

Please, magical OP, tell us where we can get money for this easy donation.

:confused: There are plasma centers all over the place. There is one about 3 blocks away from where I work that gives like $30 or $40 a visit...
