15 Jobs for Making Money While in College

02.17.2010 by Guest 4 comments

Sometimes we arrive at college not realizing the skills we’ve got that are marketable. For example, if you’ve been a videogame wizard in high school you probably know something about how PCs are put together. These are a few more ideas if you are a college student looking to make some money on the side… Some big electronics retailers like Best Buy and Staples still operate computer repair centers – and many of them have part time employees for budgetary reasons. That’s a skill position that should draw a decent hourly wage.

5 Legitimate Work-From-Home Jobs

02.01.2010 by Jonathan 28 comments

We live in tough times. Those who are not unemployed are under-employed. Many people agonize between taking a second job and family time. My goal is to share with you some resources that allow you to earn extra income for your family from the comfort of your own home on your schedule. Many of these examples I have personally used to add extra income to my household when needed. I am not going to focus on starting an online business in this post (although, for the diligent there is money to be made in blogging, Adsense, creating your own products, selling on ebay, and affiliate sales.)

01.09.2010 by Bob 14 comments

Everyone knows that cars are almost always a depreciating asset. You pay $20,000 for it and drive off the lot and it is worth $18,000. A year later it’s worth $14,500, and a few years later it’s worth $3500. This is the common story for most cars. And with the American obsession to spend so much of our income on our transportation, I am convinced that cars greatly affect our financial freedom. So with so many people losing money on their car purchases, how could you possible make money with cars?

How I Escaped The Rat Race

12.14.2009 by Bob 36 comments

A little over a year ago I ventured out into self-employment after spending much of the previous decade in the “Rat Race”. For most of that time I was a glorified pencil-pusher in the corporate abyss of a Fortune 500 company.
Now that I have spent over a year working for myself I can’t imagine doing anything else. For as trapped and held down as I felt before, I feel the opposite extreme of the joy of freedom. Just to be clear, self-employment has it’s own challenges and difficulties, but I honestly think they pale in comparison to what I went through while spinning my wheels in the Rat Race.

Money Magazine created another article that I am always interested in reading. It was a list of the top 10 best paying jobs in the U.S… So, take it with a grain of salt – even if it isn’t 100% accurate, it still is interesting to see what professions we as a nation highly esteem (hence the high rate of pay).
