You don't have to get a job to bring home the bacon

Unless you’re a trust-fund baby, chances are you’ll spend most of your college years broke. That’s normal. But you still need money to stay stocked up on Yuengling. Maybe you should get a job. Oh. That didn’t go over too well. Fortunately, you don’t have to work to make mad money. Let us help you out.

Give blood

Forget panty raids or fitting 10 of your closest friends into a phone booth; all the cool kids are donating their plasma. While it may not physically feel good (after all, you’re having your blood pumped out of you and then back in again), the whole saving lives thing makes up for the temporary unpleasantness. And hey, it’ll also delay your job search another week.

Become a Lab Rat

A page in every edition of the City Paper is dedicated to the plethora of guinea pig opportunities available to you at MUSC. Some are targeted toward pot smokers. One test even involves drinking beer. Seriously. Drinking beer. Oh yeah, and you get paid up to $100 for that one.

Sell Your Old Clothes

You’ll have to drive all the way out to North Charleston to get there, but Plato’s Closet, a second-hand clothing chain store, will give you money for that shirt you never wear — and, frankly, you shouldn’t have bought in the first place. The shop pays for “gently used” name brand clothing and gives you the perfect excuse to finally clean out your closet. You won’t get back what you shelled out originally — not even close — but you will probably get enough to buy drinks this weekend. Or maybe some new clothes.
