Up the bum...

If female, the simplest way is prostitution, by 4th year you could be a Madame. If male, Pimping or robbing.

Sell drugs.

Students love drugs.

Seriously - it's easy money.

Sky King

Docks.

A single €50 note and a photocopier. Don't tell anyone.

This is a good thread idea... but you have sent to the equivalent of wonderland in terms of getting the answers you want.. unless you think selling hash and prostitution is the way to go!

Sell space cakes at bake sails, you'll earn money and the lolz.

Mr Trade In

You can date the hottest chick in class,use a camera,bribe her and/or sell the dvd.

Learn to play poker.

Go into a card club at pub closing time on Friday and Saturday night while completely sober. Play tight, focussing on the drunkest players and make money off them.

And then you'll realise that you've f*cked up when you get rivered for the fifth time in a row by a drunk who doesnt know what he's doing

HovaBaby

Strip.

Or as AnamGlas said, photocopy the money.

Better, strip, then photocopy the money. Then give the photocopied money to strippers.

This is actually pretty good advice. However you'll need a grand to start yourself off in the beginning due to the huge luck element that is inherent in the game and the learning curve.

Much cheaper to learn the ropes on-line. When you can comfortably beat 5c-10c stakes you can start thinking about playing live.

Stripping.

If you are prepared to forsake your dignity for the sake of a higher education you may as well go the whole hog

Multiply that amount by 10 and I think your good to go

The smallest live games tend to start at 1-2 euro.

A grand could be gambled pretty quickly if you have a poor start.

Volunteer for stuff in the college, there is usually decent money to be made during student elections and the like.

HazDanz

Do grinds for leaving cert students in one or two subjects you feel comfortable doing. Could give you 30-60 euro in extra cash a week

Being serious for a second, as much as most people don't like to hear it-drug dealing and prostitution are both ways to make relatively large sums of money with relatively little effort. Illegal yes but financially viable *. Gambling is a bit harder as games like poker have a steep learning curve while making money from blackjack means learning to count cards, not impossible to do but you need to be mega smart.

If these less savoury options don't tickle your fancy have you tried chugging? Very few people are anyway good at it but you can make a killing if you are. Giving grinds to Leaving Cert and other college students is one I did a few times. There's also some way of making money from writing articles online but the pay is never great. You could try selling anything you no longer need on ebay as well, you'd be suprised what you can get for some old junk.


*I know prostitution isn't actually illegal.

Volunteering is for suckers. Did you know that volunteers don't even get paid for the stuff they do?

source products that you can buy in bulk and sell individually on ebay at a profit, example import zippo lighters. like 10 or 20 at a time, not a container load

anything you get in bulk from china will be fake and ****e

Johnny Foreigner

1. Buy yourself a bolt croppers.
2. Steal students bicycles.
3. Sell students bicycles.
4. Enjoy the profit.

TBF, I'm suprised gambling was mentioned. Coke & hookers always get a look in.

I moved home and worked summers to pay for what I could , had two jobs at the same time mostly! Generally in a hotel, nightclub and factory. Gruelling work at 7am 6 days a week in a freezer is not fun when you have another job to look forward to.

Played poker too which helped me a good bit during the year. Was lucky enough to get a grant and it is so much tougher for those that don't.

OneArt

If you're in any way good at writing, pimp yourself out on sites like Elance, GetAFreelancer and a gazillion other similar sites. There's usually people there looking for people to write content for their websites.

spunghead

ah i know gambling isnt the way forward anyway.tried grinds and mystery shopping online and grinds seem to be solid!
