How do you make money to pay for tuition?

November 20, 2010 1:03pm CST
Scholarships cover a small portion for me, so I have to come up with several thousand dollars on my own each semester. I have done EVERYTHING. I used Googel Adsense for a while (made a couple hundred dollars but it was soooo much work), babysitting, tutoring, sold plasma (it made me too sick so I had to quit), right now I use MyGirlFind (check out my profile), sell clothes to used-clothes stores, and when I was in community college I would edit people's papers and charge $20, but now that I'm in state college, I'm in a whole different playing field and I just can't do that anymore haha. What do you do? Do you have any creative ways of paying for college? I'd like to hear them :)

Find a sponsor like a grocery store sometimes sponsor your college. Or maybe a work related to your degree they might sponsor you.

Well in my opinion you should have stayed in community college. Is going to a state college worth the debt? Sure you can make the argument that it may land you a better job but you'll end up using the money to pay off the debt anyway. If a cheaper college has the classes you are looking for, my advice is to go that route.

Community college only offers an associate's degree. I have already earned that and am working towards a bachelor's, which is not offered at community colleges. Thank you.

As a parents like me I need to provide my daughters education and this is really hard for me to find where to get her tuition fees.As i am not ready to give them a good education so i need to find source where to get money since I am not rich. Well first I need to work hard for them and sold those i need to sell. THe best thing that i can sell is the real estate. I have my commission on it and i need to make find the correct buyer in order to own a property. Aside from that i need to look foe another job that support our daily needs while searching clients to real estate. And many more things to do.

You could always take out student loans. That's how I meet a lot of my tuition that grants don't cover. I also have work study and work in the school library or a laboratory on campus.

Hi Young people here in the UK do not realize how lucky they are you get free education from the age of 5-16. Please keep up your studies, a good education is so important. All the best to you. jojo732

Well, I actually work full time and study part time, but once I get my degree I suppose I will keep working to save up for grad school. I do some other online jobs to earn money, but it's nothing near the amount I would need for tuition, so I use that money for spending, and save up from my salary.

hello, I know your anxious heart to earning for yoru living. you know, the tuitions are saring now. we need to find some quick ways to earn money,haha. but i think,as a student, the time is limited and what you should focus is your study. you can make use of your free time to do part time work. net work would not let you earn that much. and it take more time. so just do some part time on weekens. and check your local area, what is more easy.

Well online earning opportunities is really a good way to earn online and could help to pay your tuition fees and other expenses on school. Babysitting and tutoring is also good if you have a lot of spare time.
