Do you know anyone who earns a living while in college?

Do you know of anyone who has managed to earn around $30k+ while in university?

I ask this because I'm trying to find a way to conjure up enough capital to fully start up my business scheme as soon as I graduate.

Obviously with lecture hours and workload, most students can only really settle with minimum wage jobs.

So are you or do you know anyone who managed to make that amount of money while studying?

    Yes, I am, actually. So I know it can be done.

    I started at the beginning of my second year in college. I earned nothing worth talking about in my first 3-4 months (and did loads of things wrong), but only a few months after that I was actually earning $3,000+ per month, and continued to.

    It was far from "get rich quick", though - and I had some real skills to start with (you don't get very far at all without some skills!).

    I was also quite lucky, I think, looking back.

    I worked a little over 25 hours per week at it, for the first year or so. Sometimes 30 hours.

    This was what I did (and still do), it it helps: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...te-please.html

    Yes. There were several groups at my school that pushed the whole Amway MLM concept. I was friends with a few of the "founders" of the group, and they were making out pretty well. Definitely over the $30k/year mark.

    Digital/Internet marketing wasn't like a "thing" back then - but I am sure people are pulling that nowadays from the comfort of their dorm rooms.

    I think Ryan Moran started in college and was successful. I think he's a member in here, too (but may not be very active). Google his name and there's a bunch of results pop up. Not sure if he answers his Facebook messages or personal website messages or what... but, he may have the advice you're looking for.

    I know several college students on several forums making several figures. And, yes . . . that's a lot of severals.

    Point being, it can be done.

    Take me, for instance. I'm a wife, mother, digital entrepreneur, and next year I'll be fitting in a distance-learning degree. I make 3 figures daily.

    The trick is to find what works for you and:

    1. Scale it; and
    2. Outsource.

    I'm a great believer in having my fingers in many pies. And I prefer those pies to be relatively simple to operate once set up. Apologies for the mixed metaphor!

    I personally earned around 20,000 pounds (GBP) whilst at university - and that was doing a weekend job at a computer retailer chain

    They paid commission and increased the payout rate with the more success you had

    Maybe look for a similar job?


    Hop this helps


    Good Luck

    I worked full time (40 hours/week) while attending college and still managed a 3.5 grade point average. And I had a social life too.

      Give me a break down of your average day that would include all 3? (work/college/social)

    It can be done if you are determined, but it would not be easy at all, keep in mind working online or offline will affect your college and degrees and visa versa.

    When I was in secondary school (I think high school for Americans) I was using software to bot Runescape during the day/night and selling the virtual gold for real dollars

    Was earning nearly enough as my Mum lol.

    I worked part of my way through college. My job? Walking women (mostly) home from the library. Not a bad gig.

      I did that too but most of the time they wound up back at my place where I received my "payment". LOL

    When I was in college I was making about $1K or so a month. I remember I had a $200 day and I was about ready to jump for joy. I would've earned more, but it was tough to do with college football AND school.

    I did that while in Grad school but just from a couple copywriting jobs though,
    not working several hours per week. I found that my production level was
    much higher because I had so much reading and papers to write so the
    copywriting gigs were just like another paper, but with pay.

    Yup, I earned my own keep while in college. Dropped out in March and have been growing ever since. It can be done.

    Why do you need to ask other people? You need to ask yourself if it is possible.

    Anik Singal.

    He made his first $300 when sharing about a software that he benefitted greatly from in forums. And then he progressed from there gradually.

    Now he relaunched his Inbox Blueprint course.
