Thinking of passing the exams and having good grades in college is stressful enough without having to worry about money. Books, tuition, and other miscellaneous expenses is too hard for a student to bear especially if your family is in the midst of facing financial crisis.
The number of college students who work online is increasing. Lots of my friends and classmates have their own jobs already and already receive their payments. I haven't thought about finding a job online before but when I see them enjoying the fruit of their labor, pooof! I wanted to find a job and earn money right now!
Honestly, I'm one of those college students who wanted to earn extra money to help my family,especially my mother. My mother is the only one who earns for our living and she's paying all our expenses. And she told me earlier that her work may be having its end because of some government issues here in the Philippines. The only way I can help her is to find a job online and I'm looking forward to get lots of advise from you. Thank you so much. :)

I really don't have enough spare time to work in fast food chains or the like. I'm taking up nursing and it's really hard especially our school is maintaining it's high quality education. :(( I can only work,if my body permits me, from 12midnight up to 4am. I really really want to earn money.

Pretty Mary, I understand your desire to make some money online and certainly admire the kindness of your heart toward your mother. My concern is that a college student may not have adequate time to get established in money making opportunities. I do not want to discourage you from trying the options you decide on, but go into it knowing it will take some time and effort to get going. Meanwhile, don't become too distracted from your academic work.

Thanks for your concern. As for me, I will never let my studies be taken for granted because my family, relatives and friends have high expectations for me. :)
But then again, I just want to do some jobs online if I have free time like now:)

I was born and brought up in Houston, Texas. Ours is a family of four with my parents, me and my younger brother. The schooling years of my life were toughest. I struggled a lot in my studies. The standardized procedure of education never interested me.
I was an average student throughout my academic life. Extra-curricular activities like sports, drawing, crafts, etc. were my favorite things. I just remember that it was the second semester of 8th grade when I stood first in class. However, it didn't serve any purpose in motivating me to take up studies seriously. I enjoyed understanding the concepts more than just memorizing ready made notes. After completion of my schooling and college in the science stream, I chose to become a writer. It was a weird decision taken by me at that time. Today, however, I don't regret it at all.
My career in writing began a smoothly and I was more than happy to grab the right opportunity for which I was waiting so long. Today, I am happy with my life and enjoy it to the fullest. The positive attitude to face hardships brought out the best in me. Today I am looking forward to face the challenges of life in a positive manner.
The content presented in the example above gives only a rough idea of how an autobiography should start. Writing an autobiography is a huge effort and requires patience to put the facts and experiences in a proper manner. Autobiographies are detailed accounts of a person's life and should be written accordingly. Read more on Barack Obama's Autobiography.
The autobiography sample provided in the article above provides an idea about how to write a short autobiography. Autobiographies are detailed accounts of our lives which help in remembering the happy and sad moments as well. One can draw inspiration from the tough times of the past and proceed further in life with a positive attitude.

Hi! I'm also a student from the Philippines who works online. I'm also doing it for the same reason as you are. My family is not rich, just have a decent income but we are nine in the family so I need to find a way to earn money. My parents are not capable of earning as much as they want since they in the province or countryside as they called it. Life there is quite simple and there are no greener pasture there. Right now I am in the city studying and at the same time working part time online.
Good luck to you and enjoy mylotting!

If you are familiar with Micro Jobs then you may start working with microworkers and minuteworkers. The tasks you will be doing there are just like the myLot tasks. You can also signup with the sites like freelancer or odesk. A lot of people find their job from this freelancing websites. Best wishes for your journey.
