    Slab of Coke cans, €9.99

    Sell cans at €1 a pop

    Profit should be €14

    It works.

    Buy a box of floppy disks.

    Fill them with porn.

    Sell them to your friends who have computers but no internet connection.

    That's what we did anyway.

    You eat with your fellow boarders, right? Lace the soups, stews and stuff like that with salt.

    Now dont kill the f*ckers, a few large spoonfuls will do the trick.

    Turn up the heating during indoor football and the like. Again, we dont want anyone collapsing here, just up the temperature a notch or two.

    Cans sold.

    Buy wholesale bars like twix etc. Sell them....Realise there's no money in selling legit stuff. Buy cigarettes. Sell them for €1 each. Realise there's money in drugs. Begin smuggling in stuff hidden up your bum. Get rich, get busted, write a book. Sorted. Your life is now mapped out. Go forth and multiply.

    Ask your auld ones. If they have enough to send you to private school, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Are you a betting man?

    If not, become one.

    Make silly bets with lads like, I bet you a fiver we're gettin curry for dinner. And if you win happy days. Try and cheat. Find out whats on the menu early then let on your only guessing to your pals.

    Back in the day, my main source of income was fake ID's and forging bus tickets. Not sure what the demand is like for either these days

    Have you ever heard of the numbers racket? Set up a weekly lottery in the school, alternatively you could run card games, it's very simple to tweak the results of such activities. Loan Sharking is another endeavour you could pursue, befriend guys in your year who can use their fists, because it's a easy way to make big returns. ;)

    If you can't find out on your own while being connected to the internet you're probably not sharp enough to do it and certainly not sharp enough to get away with it.
