So, the question is, what are your ways to earn some money? I'm 18 and I started college this year, so i'm looking for a way to earn some money (real money, not steam wallet and stuff). For example: Do you work part-time somewhere? Do you sell something of your own? etc etc etc :)

I work for a living(like everyone else. duh). I already graduated Medicine School and now I'm a medical resident in my hometown, majoring in Pediatrics.

if you live in a dorm, mine cryptocurrency, its as easy as leaving your computer on all day and getting paid for it, and its the university's electricity and internet so why not?

I should probably do this myself if ever I decide to move to a dorm. I could use that cash for online purchases (bitcoin is getting quite popular here in AU though)

For extra cash I whore myself out on webcam sometimes. Also, I draw various things on my bare belly with ketchup/mustard/chocolate/the buyer's preferred item on fiverr. I once made a nice mustard, olive, and ketchup pikachu using my moobs to hold the olives on as eyes. I got a bonus for that one.

if you where in the U.S. you could pimp yourself out on craigs list

i think what would be a good job would depend on what you are trying to make and when you have free time

if your just looking for some extra cash then just about any job should be fine

if your looking for quick cash well that is not possible well at least not without huge risk lol

if your are good with computers maybe you could do that

Usually i fix computer, but people here are not willing to spend ~€20 to fix their toolbar-riddled laptops anymore, instead they get assistance from the cousin-friend-son-nerd who just fucks up even more.

If your country has good protective laws (just to be sure you're not risking your health), you may apply for some medical studies. I don't mean experimental, dangerous things, but some labs need volunteers to test pre-release things. When I was student, I made some good money with eyewashes and things like that (even a morphine test !). Of course, it must be done with trustworthy people (in my case, it was a french university operated lab, highly controlled).

My advice, get a small part time job that you can handle without compromising your performance at college. Stick to your talents.

For example, I knew a bit about computers, networking etc and so I got part time job during my University days as one of the evening IT Support staff at one of the College HPC Simulation Labs. Basically all I had to do was troubleshoot some weird problems the lab users had and rest of the time I could concentrate on my studies and got payed for it.

On the other hand, my cousin chose to work part time at the university cafe. It had more work load, especially during days students had assignments and came to the cafe to work together with coffee but he never had to worry about dinner (he got free dinner at the cafe) and saved a lot of money along with getting payed.

Whatever you choose, stick with something you can handle easily and something that won't effect your studies. Preferably at your University itself as it would save a lot of time traveling and give you access to certain resources.

As people have said before, getting a part-time job is usually your best option. Any employer willing to hire students should be able to respect your need to put your study first and work with you to plan your work hours, so your work doesn't hinder your education. If that's not an option, you're better off not taking the job.

The best thing would be to find a job that's related to your field of study, since that provides valuable experience and gives you some inside connections that will help you find a "real" job when you graduate. Depending on what study you're doing though, it could be very hard to find such a job. Therefore you shouldn't chain yourself to that idea, and be willing to look elsewhere if things don't work out. If you have to get a McJob to get some money, that's perfectly fine. After all, if you endlessly keep looking for that one perfect job, chances are you're never going to get anywhere. There's nothing stopping you from looking for a better job while already employed, and at least this way you'll get some income in the meanwhile.

There are two options for earning money:

1) Employment
2) Trade

When I was in college, I preferred various types of employment, often multiple types during the same period. Unfortunately for me, I also made the mistake of thinking student loans were a "source of income." Huge mistake.

I did the same at uni. Sometimes you can find an established tutoring business and take on clients from them. They will take a cut but it removes a lot of the admin work for you.

If you're smart or just good at the subjects you do, tutoring high school students or even lower-year uni students is a good fun way to earn some pocket money. It's just not the most stable type of income as it will fluctuate with demand.

I guess it would be interesting to find out how to earn that $1 in Bitcoin needed for getting Humble Bundle packs via performing different activities. Already tried earning from Bitcoin Faucet rotators, but the outcome is very, very small. Anyone is welcome to comment if they have any interesting ideas on this matter.

You'd earn more using Paid-to-Click (PTC) sites that pay out to PayPal. From my experience, they earn you more per day than Bitcoin faucets give you in a week. The only problem with PTC sites is that it takes a long time to reach the payout limit (from 1 to 3 months), but if you use multiple that have different cashout minimums, then you should be getting money more often. It'd be much better for buying HumbleBundles, in my opinion.

I buy and sell items on online auction sites. There's a lot of collectible items out there which are in high demand. My simplest tip is looking for auctions that start low with no buyout price, if you're lucky, you can find a great bargain and sell it higher with a high buyout price.

I really don't know what schools you all attended, but in my case there is no time for part time job. Best what I've menage was tutoring and that was quite seasonal. Only other way to have time for part time job is if you menage to pass all exams by June, so you can spend summer as free-lancer.
