It's about that time a year again. Students are heading off to college to get a good education and to prepare for the real world. Yet, not everybody was born with money to pay for an American college education. Here are a few ways to earn some cash to get a college education.
Car Wash
A classic way to earn cash is through car washes. Many organizations use this money-raiser and it seems to be fairly profitable. However, you can increase your profits by throwing mud or dirt on the surrounding neighborhood's cars, make sure you're not seen though. Don't limit yourself to dirt. Go ahead and use garbage, dog feces, grass, roadkill, etc. The dirtier the car, the less likely they would want to clean it and will come to you. Be sure to make it clear that there is a car wash nearby and you will make bank.
Cut Grass
Go from door to door offering to cut people's grass. Charge by the hour and use scissors.
'Visit' a hospital
Visit a hospital. Look around and find where everything is, including the security cameras. You might find where they keep the organs. If you do, take one (or five). Place it in the bag that you have and just so conveniently happens to be filled with ice. Then, conveniently make a slightly rushed exit. Then, conveniently sell the organ(s) on the black market and conveniently make a couple thousand of dollars. It is just so convenient.
'Magic' Trick
Go up to a little kid and tell them you can make things disappear. Go on to explain you need a dollar to perform this trick. As soon as you get the money, run like you stole something, because you just did.
The 'Loose' Change
Whenever you're over your friend's house, wait until they leave the room and check the hot spots for loose change. The hot spots include the couch, under the bed, dirty laundry, and winter coats (there may actually be some bills here). Other places to look at if you have extra time would be the washer machine, bottom of dresser draws, in between books, pencil holders, guitar cases, any kind of closed container, and between the mattresses. Don't feel too bad for getting this 'loose' change. They won't miss what they didn't know about.
The Street Performer
This is good for people who live in busy cities with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Go out in the middle of the street and start singing. Sing as horrible as you possibly can. People will pay you to shut up. This is a good thing. Just like parents who would do anything to get there babies to stop crying, people will pay anything to get you to shut up. Local businesses may even hire you to disrupt their rival's flow of customers. So, belt your heart out.
Take Advantage of the System
Go check out some books from the library. Don't pick the current bestsellers, but pick the ones a couple spots beneath them in popularity. Once you get home sell them on ebay or Amazon, and be sure to take the library mark off beforehand. Once you owe a bill at the library, just claim your card is lost or stolen and get a new one. Rinse, lather,repeat, and watch the money roll in.
Free Hugs
Advertise that you are giving away free hugs, but there will be a minimum donation for a charity. The charity being your education, but keep this part hidden. People are more apt to pay for something if it's a 'donation' and for a charity. Since it's hugs you might not get too much money from this, but at least it will get you some pocket change. Try a different product like puppies or scorpions with the same technique to make more money.
Marry a Millionaire
Once you marry a millionaire, there are two ways to get their money. One, you can either poison them and get all the money when they die. The more creative (and fun) way to get the money is to simply strip. This goes for the guys as well. Women like strippers to. Also, have your millionaire pay in 20s instead of dollar bills. That way they are more likely to over spend and you get more cash.
