Meantime Money-Makers

Scholarships are generous. If you get enough of them, it keeps the student loans from piling up and contributes to your seeing more of your initial earnings, reduced due to loan payment starting only six-weeks after you graduate from college. That sucks – Why won’t politicians change that with their wins? Maybe because they don’t have student loans, only poor folks need loans for college. The problem is, getting scholarships is a process – Most don’t approve in 24-48 hours. If you need money NOW, scholarships, no matter how easy they are to get, don’t fund NOW! Therefore, I always try to share different ways you can make money in the meantime, while you’re still in school. Many of these opportunities are great! Take a look, give one or two a try, and then get back to me (Ms. Patrina), letting me know you’ve found success or if you have questions.
