Tap Dancing for money

United States
March 8, 2012 4:08am CST
There's a fellow who on his time off tap dances for tips to help pay for his expenses while going to college. Quite a unique way to pay for living expenses if you ask me. What did you do when you were in college to pay for your living expenses? Anything unusual? http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/03/penn-state-student-taps-for-tuition/

I never went to college, and not sure what I want to do. Okay well I know but it's way too much. In any case, that is an interesting way to pay for college, and something that sounds like fun. I guess if I went to college I would have to probably get a whole other job besides the one I have now to offset expenses!

I have a useless associates degree and have debated if there was a reason for me to even want to go back and not know if I'd have a job in the field anyway.

I have seen people where I live do this, and sometimes they make good money singing and dancing in the streets.

One has to do just what they need to do but tap dancing is very unique....no one in my family has had to do anything unusual to make money for living expenses...I guess we are lucky!

I was born business-minded so money was not a problem for me ever since. Aside from the money I receive from my parents as allowance, I also have other means to get extra money. Sometimes, I sell old stuffs like clothes, shoes, accessories to my friends. With my artistic talents, I am also being able to join several contests like slogan making and poster making. Winning these contests means money. lol. Also, during my college years, I make my classmates' projects which is equivalent to a lot of money. Earning during my college years was much easier as there are lot of lazy students who would just want to pay someone to do projects/activities for them...

I didn't do anything that was really that out of the ordinary when I was in college to help pay for my expenses. During my sophomore year and part of my junior year I worked on campus in alumni donations (where we would call the alumni and ask them to donate to the school). Then, at the last part of my junior year I got a job as an usher at the local minor league baseball park. However, that job was in Lexington and I actually was living in Louisville during the school year.
