<p>You don't report income if you're an independent contractor or something like that....that being said sell your life on eBay. Some dude made $7500 off of it.</p>
<p>I plan on my fin aid going down regardless. Next year my brother is out of school and my school does not ever increase financial aid. Luckily I have renewable scholarships or else I would be totally screwed.
DBA's have to still report income, I dont know about ind contractors. I know its something different if its a hobby and you get under 10 or 20 or maybe even 30k a year as gross income and you dont have to have a business?? Im sure others one here no more than this, I just talk to give my stuff to an accountant and the headaches go away.</p>
<p>if you make <$5000/yr then you don't pay fed taxes nor state taxes (in most states...some have a higher amount)
the best job to get is a job for your school because you dont pay Medicare or SS because you're a state employee</p>
<p>shoebox... I won't be attending a state school, so, if I work for my private school, I would still be considered a state employee? Is that due to Federal Work Study guidelines?</p>
<p>But then if you get paid exclusively in cash its kind of hard to track your income.</p>
<p>Hit the block and start pitchin that white...rock it up and make even more</p>
<p>The easiest options are:</p>
<p>-investing your student loans (if the % rates work out). I don't think it's particularly legal, but it is easy easy money</p>
<p>-tutoring. I get anywhere from 40-60/hr just helping random high school kids with SAT or general math/english. I have a lot of background in the area though so you might not get as much, but there is always a market for tutors.</p>
<p>start a meth lab.</p>
<p>give piano lessons to rich folks. they make HUGE cash per hour.</p>
<p>tutor math.</p>
<p>How do you get hooked up with the tutoring jobs that pay $60 an hour as opposed to the lame ones like $15 and hour once a week? If you name your own price, I know from Honors Econ that I want to find the market equilibrium, haha</p>
<p>But I don't want to tutor any brats (bad experience), only ones that actually care about learning to improve their grade</p>
<p>Hey I'd def tutor brats....less effort for more money lol</p>
<p>The tutors that I've seen with such high rates are typically advanced graduate students, some with master's degrees.</p>
<p>i've actually be considering starting up a computer repair business. I mean I work at it in school but I could do that on the side as well I can make money and not have to file it either.</p>
<p>Also in order to keep your money, avoid getting 49384234 credit cards. The offers may sound lucrative but the debt isn't...</p>
<p>Yes, remember that credit cards are evil in college. I've heard too many horror stories. Learn everything first about credit and then use it responsibly.</p>
<p>Darn, all the ones that I would have said are already on here: drugs, prostitution, and selling yourself online</p>
<p>Anything on the black market pays well. If you are good at it, poker or betting on sports works well too.</p>
<p>I make ~150/hr playing poker.</p>

<p>Word of mouth generally. Once you tutor one kid (and as long as you don't royally **** up), his parents will probably refer you to his friends, repeat x10. The lowest I've ever tutored for is 30/hr, and that was helping a 4th grader with her english hw. Don't sell yourself short out there.</p>
<p>laserprecision: Do you mind telling how you went about with your tutoring ?. I'm really interested in doing so in Spanish and math mostly since that's what I know best (fluent in spanish and taking a 3rd year in calculus), I just don't know really how to go about doing it... thanks</p>
<p>Sure. At first I contacted my former high school and asked some teachers to be put on the school's tutor list. The bulk of my students came from a local site called craigslist which is a huge site in my area where I posted a simple ad about my qualifications and rates.</p>
