How to Make Money While in College

  1. Take care of your scholarships.  There are a lot of easy ways to find scholarships, but you must take care of these scholarships to make sure they will continue to be available.  If you let your school work suffer, or don’t take your scholarship requirements seriously, you could end up in the red very quickly.
  2. Apply for Residence Hall Assistant.  Being an R.A. can be a very rewarding job with very rewarding benefits.  Most campuses provide their R.A.’s with housing that is free of charge.  Did you get that? Free.  F.R.E.E. housing.  Can’t beat that.
  3. Sell your skills.  What do you do well? If you can play the piano, cook, update computers, fix electronics, market yourself and provide a service to others for a fee.  This can bring in a lucrative income without a lot of time or effort on your part.

Interview Tips: Ask Questions!

Don’t allow the interviewer ask all the questions. Here are a few questions to consider asking in your next interview:

What would a typical day in this job be like? If you can’t sit at a desk for very long and this job will require you to sit nearly all day, then it may not be for you. If you prefer to work with people and this position is simply data entry, you may want to consider looking. 

What Benefits are you offering?  This is a very important question as benefits can be worth a significant amount that is not reflected in a salary or hourly figure. Health insurance is worth hundreds of dollars a month. Tuition reimbursement is also a perk many companies offer so you’ll be able to continue your education through online schools or other means.

How much does the job pay? Don’t be afraid to ask this question! Your time and talents are worth something and the figure needs to be acceptable to both you and the employer. Don’t undersell yourself by settling for a wage that is below industry standard. If you’ve worked hard to become educated and qualified for the position, ask for what you think you’re worth.

Remember that when you ask these questions you need to be assertive but not arrogant.

  1. My college has a sports pass and with it you [get] into all games at the school free. - sillymommy. What more could you ask for during college football season?
  2. Organize board/card game nights with friends/dorm mates. - lindseybandy. If you have a healthy sense of competition, grab your favorite board game (Grab Apples to Apples, Scrabble, Settlers of Kattan) for a fun night in.
  3. Flash that college ID. Most places in college towns give a discount to students. - debtreckoning. Last week we ate out at California Pizza Kitchen and got a 20% discount because of our student ID.
  4. Use free movie rental codes, coupons for buy 1 get 1 meals at restaurants. - TheCouponGirl. You can find freeRedBox movie rental codes online — I found “DVDONME” has worked in the past.
  5. Watch movies together (at home) as a group, make snacks. - JoeyfromSC. Using that free movie you rented from RedBox, grab a bunch of friends and pop some popcorn. What better excuse to snuggle on the couch with your crush?
