12 - An Easy Way to get Paid

           Being a college student can get pretty expensive. Even after scholarships and grants, there still can be a lot of school that you need to pay for. Things like books, rent, loans, gas, car payment, fees, tuition, and most importantly food. At the beginning of the semester, I had just gotten back from serving my mission and I had only $4000 or so in the bank. Where tuition this year after my scholarship was $2250 a semester, I did not have enough money at all to pay for school. But I was lucky and I was able to find a job here on campus. Probably not the job that I would have liked but it pays well and it doesn’t conflict with my school schedule.

            Now I have enough income to help me out through the rest of the year and I am able to pay for things that I need. But even then it would be fun to have a little extra cash to do some fun stuff or even just to have a little bit of security cash. So to make a little extra I decided to donate Plasma.

My experience donating plasma has be good to me so far. When you donate, the take the blood from your veins, run it through a centrifuge, separate the plasma from your blood, and return the rest of it back into your veins. It’s simple, safe, and painless. You get compensated for your time. Plus, you are helping save the lives of other people. You can donate up to twice a week and can make up to about $220 each month. It really is a nice and easy way to make a little bit of extra cash. As long as you’re not afraid of needles. I would recommend it to anyone.
