I run my own company, that sells Lenovo products to small business. But truth is, I don't make very much doing it. But it's helping me make connections into the corporate world. I make must of my money with "Human Directionals". The guys in the road spinning a sign trying to get your attention. Also small well thought out investments in the stock market. Such as 1,6xx shares in Ford I bought two years ago and sold off recently...
But I am starting my first year in school this month, but I will still be taking the same approach.

loans and work while majoring in a degree with a good ROI, then pay off loans with the nice job from your major
sell some weed on the side ... or get a PT job delivering Pizza and do both
Never tried that.
Is it chewy, like spinach?
They don't all live in the United States (Okay I might get hit for that, but it's true.)
Not having a car really helps, you save on gas, repairs and insurance.

It's called a job.
Others choose to get a credit card and go further into debt.
Or further, mommy and daddy give them cash money to live on.

Yes...
Monthly
$106 Full Coverage/Renters/$100k Life Insurance Policy
$600 Gas
$150 Random Parts (Classic car)
Vs.
$50-70 Bus Pass, it's very tempting.
that is a ton of gas
per bus pass...some universities incorparate that into fees so students get "free" passes...as in comes with your id
As thirsty bugger, too.
I drive a lot... But yea, for a little 1296cc 4 banger it's pretty thirsty.
Selling semen to sperm bank
Sorry, men only.
Unless....um...no.
pssh surrogate mom is the way to go
I think even just selling your eggs pays more then just our sperm. Something like $10,000... But those are just craigslist postings...
Yeah, that's what I did. When I was in grad school in Chicago, I wasn't able to work off campus, so I got a job as a Physiology TA.

Doing it right now.
Part time job when money is tight.
Student loans to help with living costs.
Got some money from my parents.
No expensive phone contract, just a cheap texting plan and wifi.
Lots of places also do student discounts if you have a student card, which adds up to quite a bit of money saved.
