Write a resume and mail it like urine. Someone should call back at you.

If you want money *now* do whatever job you can find, eat rice and save all the money you can.

sell your body to science!

in my opinion ,first you should forget money ,then you will get more money.

Donate plasma, it's been working for me though not 5000 in 9 months more like 2000 in 9 months but it's easy all you have to do is lay there and let them suck the life out of you! [smile]

1) make baby
2) sell baby
3) ?????
4) profit!

<_<

Rather than making extra money, have you looked at ways to save what you already have? A few ideas:

Cancel any subscriptions you don't need/use
See if you can switch any of your utilities to a cheaper provider
Don't eat out as often
Sell old crap that you no longer use

Adding to the above comment I want to point out that:
273 days in 9 months * 3 meals a day * 0.15 cent ramen = 122.85 USD excluding water costs and electricity to run a microwave. However calculating that in you're still probably below 150 USD. Now lets say you ate 2 dollar meals normally you're looking at a savings of 1500 USD. Not bad especially if you have health insurance.

Pretty much any job would suffice. Get some extra work as a freelancer. If you have a field of expertise you might also double as a "consultant" kind of guy.

Yeah, I second to talk to your school about working for them. They will be much more understanding of your school schedule, and what you can and cannot do.

As others said, 9 months is a loooong time to make $5000. You could basically work for peanuts and have that.

Thanks for all the replies and ideas. I didn't even think about the plasma. I donate blood already and that would be a few extra bucks on the side at least!

My family and I live a pretty minimal lifestyle. We don't have any credit cards, our car is almost paid off. We don't eat out much, although we eat very healthy so the ramen idea isn't going to fly!
