I am not excately anxious to take out a loan. I hate the idea of having to work 40 hour week plus school.I'm trying to think of obscure ways to make money.Right now the idea I like most is the one my friend suggested. Get an attractive girlfriend with a private dorm who wouldn't mind letting me sleep in the same bed and living with her. Means she pays everything. I get to sleep in the same bed with a hot girl ect ect.However, in the event I don't find one within the next year and that plan falls threw. ANy other suggestions?I'm trying to think of a way to generate a signifigant cash flow.At the moment.. whoring myself out on campus seems to be the best option. (don't take that seriously I wouldn't whore myself out >.

Money ideas?
-
Everyone wants lots of money without having to do much work for it.Since money is the capacity to obtain the product of others' labours, this would appear to be fundamentally immoral.
-
Then wouldn't charging 8k for a few months in an appartment be immoral on behalf of the school? I mean by the time you count utilities and everything you may as well say 10k.If we were making 10k every two months we would be making 60k a year and not really need to go to college in the first place =/That being said this is mostly a joke.
-
I think it depends on exactly what you get for the money - how many rooms, what services, for exactly how long.

Iv whorred myself out, I didnt make any money, but I had a good time.I make about 10 to 20 grand a year by buying shit in thrift stores and yard sales that I know is worth more and reselling it on ebay.I once found a book that was out of print and was an original edition. I got it for 25 cents, I forget the name but it had the picture of jerr ywest that was turned into the NBA logo. I sold it for a bit over 200 dollars on Ebay.I make weekly drops at mailboxes to ship my shit out. Every Monday, no matter when the auction ends its shipped on monday so long as I get paid before that day otherwise it waits a week.around Christmas I make more frequent stops to mail shit out or when people ask me to do so because its for a birthday or needed by a certain date. Its not alot extra in the way of money but it gives me some more every month, some shit sells better than others, I lost my ass on some china a few months back, it just didnt sell and I ended up unloaded it for less than I paid at a specialty shop to get rid of it about 3 months after I bought it. shit happens its all a gamble and sometimes i break even and others I make over 1000% of my initial investment.Know your shit, research selling prices and and is worht the risk.look into craigslist as well. set a price and sell it local only I sell alot of bigger shit that way that shipping would kill me on and do delivery within 100 miles for an extra 20 to 50 bucks depending on the weight of the item, or they can pick it up. If I can stuff it in a mini van or on a motor cycle its 20 if I take the truck its 50, the truck eats gas.

You have to pay per semister =/To get any room you have to have a 1,000 dollar meal plan.Then private dorms are like $2,600 shared is 1,800. In dorms you can only bring your own microwave and fridge.No real kitchen or anything. You don't have to pay utilities with a dorm plus you get interweb I think a really small tv with cable as well. So your looking at a minimum of 3k a semister with the meal plan doesn't really get you alot of food. The rooms themselves are pretty much bed, dresser for you computer/clothes and a closet. In appartments its 3.2k a semister plus utilities. I believe your required to have the meal plan as well bringing you up to about 8.4k a year.With the apartment option for 8.4k for a full year.. times 4 years. 32.6k. for 4 years. I don't know much about real estate. But, I do know thats alot of money and a huge down payment that could be made on your own actual house.Inside the college itself its pretty much its own community. Fully functional post office, police department is an actual police department. They are fully functional. On campus there is a cafe for food, burger king and subway in the commons. Coffe shop in the library.I think the entire campus has some form of internet. Whether its ethernet or wireless.I'm not saying its a bad setup by any means. I think its pretty sweet set up. However, considering that I'm going to be in school for possibly the next 7 years (god i hope so >.>;) that.. is quite alot of money no matter how you splice it.I just hope there is alot of work for lawyers >.< then again I live in teh south. Probably not the best profession >.<

That is an awesome idea. I love history so I could probably really get into that.I definitely have to check it out.

My uncle finished college, moved to San Diego in the late 60s and found there was no jobs thta payed for shit. He went back to school. Law School. I remember visiting him in the mid 70s in a shitty tiny appartment, he drove a POS LECar and worked 3 jobs and attended school full time
he was a waiter, a fucking parking lot valet and a delivery driver. He slept very little worked alot and got good grades. it took a few years after school to build a reputation but is now nad has been for a while pretty decently off.
he was a full partner in a firm there, and left for more money and had 4 different firms in a bidding war for his attention. He now flys all over to do cases, is licensed by the BAR in 6 states and works out of his house for a major firm. starts his day about 11 am in his home office and works into the night. his bonus checks are around 150k and on his anniversity his firm has a condo in porta viarta that they let thier employees use free of charge for a week.
find a way through school, then consider moving to a more populated spot on the globe to practice. an attorney is never a bad thing to be (money wise) if your willing to make the sacrafices and relocate at some point. -
Damn. =0I have it fairy good my parents are paying most of the cost of college. I forced my mom to pay gas money since I have to commute on a daily basis. I personally picked law because I have pretty good reading comphrehension skills. Gunna major in history. I am trying to see what other jobs are offered for people who learn history. As to the relocation. I'm kinda counting on it >.<

Those prices seem pretty reasonable to me. One thing that makes it more expensive to live on-campus is the staff they employ. That's especially true of the meals - the money doesn't go on good food, but on people to prepare it. If you rent your own place off-campus and do and supply everything yourself it's cheaper, though you'll probably find not by much.
-
I am not saying its a horrible deal. However, I do think you can agree it tends to add up pretty fast =/. I might check and see what jobs are like around campus I hear most places pay 8 dollars an hour. So if next year I can schedule it so I can work fulltime it might not be so bad >.<

I recently found out a quick way that people make money:Buying and selling domain names.Basically what you do is buy up domain names that you think someone might want to have some day, and sell it for a lot of money to them.Like some guy once bought a domain name which later became a Disney Movie, and he bought the domain name for $6 and Disney bought it from him for $1 million, so yeah.A guy I know made $20,000 in his freshmen year in high school just by diong that outside of school.There's your fast money.

Niiiicce.I'm definitely going to look into that.So far I am getting the idea the best way to make money is to merchant.Jebus life is an mmorpg.

Get a causual job, and throw that money into the stockmarket. Do a short course on it before you invest, to learn the basics, then do your best. It's very hard to lose money in the stockmarket if you know what you're doing. Practice for a few years (only takes an hour or two week) and you'll soon begin to notice patterns and trends, and learn what to invest in, and when to get out. It's a captialist world, you need money to make money. Start early with a small amount of money, and by the time your thirty you'll be quite wealthy. Then you can pick and choose which job you want regardless of the pay.

Good Idea. Think 2k would be good seed money?
-
You can do the same with number plates, if you good at thinking up clever names, or jumping onto the models that come out. For example; the plan for a new Holden Sport Vehicle range has just come out. Grab the HSV, and HSV1-HSV9 number plates and sell them months later then the range comes out.

Two thousand is perfect. Just make sure you do a course of some kind. You need to learn about stop losses and such. They'll save you thousands in the future.

It's been easy to make money on the stockmarket for the last 19 years, because it's been a bull market. The bull run has gone on longer than usual, and recent events may be the start of a change in that.

I'm aware of that, but you can still make money in a bear market. Everyone is losing money, it has to go somewhere.
-
The money was only book value, and in a bear market the market is deciding the whole country's commercial activities are worth less than they had previously been valued at. Value simply disappears. Furthermore, as confidence decreases money circulates less and credit tightens, so not only value disappears, but money supply also.
You can make short-term money in a bear market by gambling with derivatives or with day-to-day fluctuations, but it's only gambling.
