<p>Could somebody please enlighten me about Rice Work? How much can you make a semester? I'm asking because my fin. aid is a couple thou. short of my FAFSA EFC. What kind of jobs are available? I'll end up asking the admissions office, but I want some outside perspectives.</p>

<p>Houston is a big city, I imagine you could make a lot dealing drugs. You might get expelled though if you get caught</p>

<p>Here’s a link to the Rice Student Employment site:
<a href=“https://cww.tgslc.org/rice/genlogin.asp[/url]”>https://cww.tgslc.org/rice/genlogin.asp&lt;/a&gt;
You need to register in order to view the available jobs.</p>

<p>Most of them pay in the neighborhood of $8-$10 per hour. My son started at $8 and got a raise to $9 the next year. Most of the jobs are clerical, I guess. The also hire lifeguards, graders, research assistants, etc. Jobs open up throughout the year, so if you don’t find one you like at first, keep checking.</p>

<p>Thanks ironmetal, I’ll look into heroin cooking, and I’ll be sure to contact my cocaine farming family near the Colombian border ; ) Tell me if you need anything milder, you seem to be snorting some really strong s**t; I’ll give you a student discount.</p>

<p>And an actual thank you to patsmom. Another question, can you participate in Rice Work even if you’re in the federal work-study program?</p>

<p>Ooh, could you give me a triple discount if we end up roomies?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, you can. In fact, some of the listed jobs are work-study only and they state that in the listing. Others can be done by both work-study and regular students.</p>

<p>you post this in the Rice section… try USC’s forum!</p>

<p>Two words: egg donation.
That’s my plan if I ever lose my scholarship hahaha</p>

<p>Doesn’t work if you’re a guy…</p>

<p>Sperm banks don’t pay nearly as much. :P</p>

10

<p>About this sperm bank job… is it an x dollars/oz. thing, or is it more of an x dollars/time thing? </p>

</p>

<p>I thought you were a guy…?</p>

<p>But yeah, good money right there. I remember reading something about that on Teen Vogue.</p>

12

<p>Lol no, I’m a girl. But yeah there are always a few ads on the back of the thresher for egg donors offering anywhere from $15,000 up.</p>

<p>(And apologies for doing nothing to answer the original question of the thread.)</p>

<p>It seems the typical pay is $35-50 per “specimen.” You are required to donate 4-8 times a month for a minimum of six months; only after the six months will you be paid. So, at an average pay per specimen and an average number of donations, you could probably expect to bag about $1500 at the end of 6 months. Not quite as much as making an egg donation, but still a hefty chunk of change for doing essentially nothing. </p>

<p>Jajajaja, wow, the last thing I expected was a reply to that. Quite a chunk of change. Noted, and bookmarked = D Thanks Soulside Journey!</p>

15

<p>Wow, thats a lot of money for Egg Donation. But isn’t it risky?</p>

16

<p>^Yeah, that’s one of the reasons it’s worth so much.</p>
