Creative Ways to Earn Money

<p>For highschool/college students, besides just getting a job. I'm thinking about doing something useful but enjoyable. The reason why I don't want to get a regualr job is because I will have plenty of time for that in college while I pay for my tuition. </p>

<p>Any good stories?
Please no jokes, I'm talking serious.</p>

<p>Sell..
Sperm
Ovaries- I was going to do this thinking an easy 5k but then I found out how they get the ovaries and I thought screw that.
Plasma</p>

<p>How much money do people get if they sell their sperm?</p>

<p>I would never do that, though.</p>

<p>Haha, you don't sell ovaries, you sell the eggs! And besides, I don't think they take them if you're under either 18 or 21. I imagine sperm goes for much lower than eggs. One, there's more of them, and two, no painful surgery and hormone therapy, just...you know.</p>

<p>"How much money do people get if they sell their sperm?"</p>

<p>Thir...Thirty One Dollars.</p>

<p>And a cookie.</p>

<p>For real????</p>

<p><em>looks around..</em></p>

<p>You could also assemble newspapers, deliver them, or be a school crossing guard. I had a gig as a crossing guard they pay $20 a day to stand outside one hour during the day and then another during the afternoon.</p>

<p>make webpages
write software
fix computers
2D/3D design
write articles for magazines/newspapers/websites</p>

<p>Anything that doesn't involve computer programing, etc?</p>

<p>You can make a lot of money selling eggs, but you probably have to be 18+ and they've gotten stick a big needle into you to get it out.</p>

<p>Anyway...</p>

<p>Babysit. Most parents will pay $8-10 an hour for minimal work. If you babysit on a Friday or Saturday night you can make ~$60 for an hour or two of work. The parent leaves at 7, the kid goes to bed at 8, and you watch tv or study or whatever until 12. A lot of parents also know that you can't entertain a 5 year-old for three hours, so they just have you put on a movie and make sure the kid doesn't hurt himself.</p>

<p>"play" mmos, sell accounts on ebay</p>

<p>I got a job as a security guard for the summer. Paid me really well and I even got a raise recently. Intially, I started off doing 12 hour shifts beginning at midnight (obviously if you can't work nights, don't do this job) watching banks, offices, construction sites and what have you. It is boring but like I said, it pays well (I started off at $12/hr) and most of these sites have computers with internet connections so you can screw around on that if you like. There was one bank I worked at that had a TV with cable and DVD player in the company lounge so I'd pass the time doing that. </p>

<p>Anyways, after the intial period of trustbuilding, my company promoted me and gave me a raise ($15/hr). I now do movie premiers and audience previews and make sure no one tries to bootleg the movies with cameras and what not. So far I've done Weirdsville (test screening) and tomorrow night I'm doing World Trade Centre.</p>

<p>Stand on the street corner, thats a shurefire way to get people to offer u money</p>
