Going to the college makes you have the responsibility to study harder. There will be no parent guide you or a teacher visits you to ask about your study performance. In certain time, perhaps you are almost run out of money because you have spent more money to fulfill the daily and school needs. In this case, you cannot just sit down and wait until the miracle come and give you money. Remember, nobody will help you until you work hard. Of course, you cannot work in all fields. Since you are a college student, you cannot take full time job. Part time job is your choice or you can run student’s friendly business which you can run from your room.
You may offer typing service for other college students. Since you have computer with proper internet connection, you can get online typing order. Of course, you are supposed only to type the work, not to create a paper for other students. If you have old study text books which you do not need anymore, inform your friends that they can rent the books from you. Your graphic skills and talents can be valuable for other students who cannot do it. Offer them to make signs of all types for businesses. This includes work on glass storefronts. All of those works can be done in your room.
Besides, there are also other works and businesses which you can advertise online. For example, if you have enough competence on auto detailing completed with graphics and design skills, you can offer the other students or other people next to you on detailing service. Some companies who have cars can use your service to detail their vehicles and trucks by putting on logos, signs or advertisements. Your electronics and sound competence can be the source of money also. There will be an opportunity to offer your service to install alarm units or sound equipment to their car.
However, you should not give too high charge especially if most of your customers are the college students. Many students do not posses thick wallets, so be fair in charging your friends. Or, ask them to work with you. This will create a solid team to work or run the business. you will also have friends to discuss about the problem may appear and the challenge to expand your business.
