I donated plasma like mad when I was in school. If you don't mind needles, it's a great way to earn a bit of extra cash. Lie in a bed and watch a movie for an hour or so, then walk out with $30 or so.

I donated plasma for a few years about a decade ago and if you go twice a week for years you can end up with some funky looking scar tissue from the plethora of needle sticks. I've got a couple of permanent indentations from it, but it's quick cash for a worthy cause, so I'd definitely recommend it as a quick "side job" of sorts.

I always thought donating plasma was for crackheads.

Do NOT get a job at Target. Needles are 100% better than being employed at Target.

Speaking from 1.5 years of experience.

LOL me too, but I ate donuts and watched for shoplifters.

I worked in the stockroom there during high school. That was probably the most fun job I've ever had!

I've done product testing. It's hard to get the offers, as you have to take a survey and then you'll see if you qualify. If you do qualify, there certain days/times that you would have to go for it. I've got the info at home, I'll PM you the link to sign up.

Medical studies are good also.

I got into one down at the U of M for my diabetes, and not only did I get craptons of free supplies, but I also got $30-$80 per visit depending on how long I had to be there.

I have done both. Plasma here and there for a few extra bucks wasn't all that bad, but it can have bad effects on your veins if done too often. Product testing can be lucrative, but as Jana said, it can be inconvenient.

I have never done either. But, I dont think plasma sounds all that bad. Although I didnt mind working for Target, laying in a bed with a needle in your arm sounds a lot less complicated.

I did everything since it was a super Target. Grocery ordering, stocked the floor, off site pulls, trailer unload, freezer pulls/backstock was the worst, though. :sport017: :sport017:

I did plasma donating for a while in college, if you went twice a week you got $20-25 each time. I hate needles, but i wouldnt look and just brought my ipod to listen too. The first time sucked and I felt weak, so if you go I suggest having some food in your stomach and drink lots of water/juice. I never had them mess up my vein but my roommate did, just like a huge bruise for a month. I wouldnt do it now unless I needed to, but in college it helped a bunch for some pocket change and bills.

If you want to make quuick money check out expotv.com my brother does this and he got me into it. You just make video reviews of products and if they get accepted you get $10 each. I am gonna do a review of my MS3 and my car care stuff.

Buahahahaha. Great line... a little Menance 2 Society.

God, I could quote about 70 lines from that movie. My friends and I used to watch it constantly. Mainly for the unintentional comedy.
