Ok myLotters. I really need some advice. I'm a full time university student, in my country, and I used to have a job as well that paid $2500 or $413 USD a month. However, my contract expired, and due to the current situation in my country it is almost impossible to get a job, especially since I have a year again before I graduate. Some of you college students here knows how much it is to support yourself. So I'm looking for anyway in which I may be able to cover what I used to make. I've searched the internet exhaustively, but I have come across many scams, negative stuff, and I'm totally confused. I stumbled across this site in the process. I've also tried a lot of those PTC sites, but it's too much work for little compensation. However I am open to your comments and discussion. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try to work in your local area. I'm sure that you could still find some jobs in there. It might not be as big salaried as your previous job, but still, if your earning, then that would be better.

There are many programs online that you can earn from. Not many that I have found bring in alot of money either. I am working several at a time, also I am working on some that if I keep going it will bring in more, it takes alot of work to get them going. I hope you are able to find something that helps you.

Same here Man. Hope that you find something worth your time in the internet. And if ever you find something that really pays though, kindly share it also to all of us. Good luck Man.

If you are a decent writer, you may want to devote some time searching for writing sites, such as Constant Content. Outside of the writing sites, I have personally not found a lot of online work that does pay in nickels and dimes (if you are lucky). But then again, I quickly learned that my skill set was being a writer.
Yeah, it is hard making a living while in college. Being self-employed is actually harder than any of the classes that I am taking.

I also suggest that you use whatever talent you have to the maximum. If you can write, then use it to earn cash by writing stories in some sites that requires writers. Or if you type fast, then use it to search for data entry jobs online. Just maximize your capability.

I've got a lot of sites. Just send me a PM. I'll send you the links. I'm also a college student. I could understand your feelings. I'm willing to help you, friend!

The only way for you to earn is to have a part time job. It doesn't have to be online. You can always search for part time jobs in your location even at this hard economic crisis that all of us are experiencing. Try to be innovative in earning money and you will be fine.
