Floats18 0 #5 February 1, 2005 AggieDave might be on to something w/ the plasma, but the sperm bank is another story. I just don't think I'd like to have little clones of me running around w/o me knowing about it. Ever see back to the future?

windcatcher 0 #7 February 1, 2005 what about becoming a packer? if ya find any good ideas, let me know.

AggieDave 6 #8 February 1, 2005 Quote I just don't think I'd like to have little clones of me running around w/o me knowing about it. In TX you have to sign a release and whoever uses the sperm has your information, in other words you could have kids looking you up later up in life once they're old enough to care. THAT would suck beyond belief.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base428 1 #9 February 1, 2005 I participated in several drug studies back in college. A local company made generic versions of various drugs, mostly blood pressure meds, and by law they had to test them. In on Friday night and out on Sunday morning for two weekends got me hundreds of dollars. Plus, I got to watch tons of movies while waiting to give the next blood sample. Nevermind the sixth finger I grew on my left hand, it was all about furthering science (it's not my pull hand anyway...).(c)2010 Vertical Visions.

Nightingale 0 #21 February 1, 2005 I made really good money for a college student. I went to the career office and got myself put on the list of tutors for local schoolchildren. Got paid $20-$25 an hour to help kids with homework. Sure beat the $5 an hour student worker jobs. Most schools keep a tutor list somewhere. You just have to ask around and have the patience to work with kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #25 February 1, 2005 Re some ideas already floated, bear in mind that selling plasma may affect your susceptibility to hypoxia (even at altitudes frequented by skydivers) for a short time after donating… This is down to each individual though so is difficult to predict. I have a friend who participated in medical studies while at uni in order to buy his rig and fund his training. He later went on to be a national champion in a 4-way team. His advice is to not do medical studies – he says it was the worst choice he ever made and strongly warns against it – the pills he took seriously fucked with him and he feels the whole experience simply wasn’t worth any amount of money… then again – you may well end up in the control group taking tic-tacs.
