Easiest way to make money for doing generally little to nothing
Right as it comes closer and closer to christmas - i actually realise how much in dire straights i am financially - so bad that i am actually thinking about heading home this weekend to try and pilfer my parents for some money. If you haven't guessed from that, yes i am a student! Through one way or another i have wasted all my money on internet poker and drinking - stupid as it is unfortunately i had a good time doing it and wouldn't change it for anything! as i say though i am in a spot of bother and need money making suggestions!
any ideas appreciated!
i realise most people will probably so "oh my god student wtf get a job pffff" etc -- well i had a job up until about a month ago for three years, it was only part time and it was only waitering but the money was fairly good, however now that i no longer have any ties there i feel so much happier than i was before, as with working there i always found i was overly tired and/or grumpy. Therefore "getting" a job is not an option, if that makes me lazy then yes i guess i am.
so once again i put myself out there in hope that anyone can manage to brainstorm any half decent ideas on said making money!!
(apologies if this thread makes little to no sense - i'm pretty tired and am in the worst sleep pattern ever and this has resorted to me having little to no social/conversational skills any more )

Re: Easiest way to make money for doing generally little to nothing
We couldn't come up with a reason why the plan didn't work. Use fake names, don't go areas you know people from, maybe have a beard while you go and then shave it off afterwards for good measure. Think about it, how many charities come to your door asking for money and how many do you hear did anything afterwards? Nobody ever gives a shit about ten quid or however much they give you and quickly forget what happened.

Re: Easiest way to make money for doing generally little to nothing
Reading up on things like this - and although im sceptical - i'm also pretty desperate! - i'm not going to buy this but what are people's thoughts on internet marketing.
And im reading about google Adwords right now and not really understanding how you make money from that... as far as i can tell you get charged money for people clicking on your ad of some site?? or am i just totally going off on some tangent here...

Pyramid schemes are the way to go.
Set your own up, or alternativly join Amway and whore yourself out selling "Facial Disinfectant" or somesuch

Re: Easiest way to make money for doing generally little to nothing
"Sponging" off relatives (or the government) seems to be the main way people get money for nothing.

My house mate does it with clothing, he gets hold of brands that are not for sale in the UK in bulk then sells them individually and doubles his money most of the time. He has got to a stage where he buys in bulk from the far east and sells the same goods in the same box for almost twice the price to Italy because of the strict customs on items arriving in Italy from Asia.
He also gets lots of free samples, he was given a pair of jeans designed by Victoria Beckham (Republic or something) and he stuck them on ebay and are going for £92 with over a day left. He still keeps his full time job and just uses the money he makes from this for holidays, he is currently in Gran Canaria (bastard) but I dont mind because he gives me £50 for each box I take around the post office while he is away.
You just have to keep an eye out for rip off merchants, when he first started he paid for a bulk load of jeans when he didn't really know the seller and they had no positive feed back, he didn't receive the goods and because he sent the money (just over £1000) by Western Union there was nothing he could do about it.

Some of his stuff he gets from ebay and he uses other sites like iOffer (not sure of the other ones he uses).

Oh, medical testing.
It's like prostitution except you're letting them put drugs inside you instead.

Re: Easiest way to make money for doing generally little to nothing
Buy things cheap and sell them expensively. It's easy to convice people that they absolutely need something, just buy loads of rubbish and sell them to friends/family or on the street.
Of course, if you really want money, crime is the way to go.

It's common knowledge that law is the most worthwhile profession there is though, you're right

i did not claim to be a lawyer, i merely pointed out i am doing law as my current degree at university and view it as a great opportunity upon gaining said degree, into many fields of proffesion that can lead to great career prospects aswell as money. Whether i choose to become a lawyer or not(aswell as gaining the appropriate qualifications) i have not decided yet.
and MrL -- i did not claim teaching was a useless proffesion, i would be crazy to say that, as you have indeed pointed out where would i be now had i not had any teachers. All i said was it was a pointless proffesion in terms of money...oh but you would of know that right if you had actually decided to read my post...but instead you were too busy being the forum police and just had to get in your oh so hilarious comments...

If you understood english SP&G then you would realise that I read your post better than you did as the "worthwhile" was a seperate clause and thus meant what the word actually MEANS not what you seem to think it means

well I just read it, and it came across as you saying teaching was not worthwhile as a result of grammar and stuff like that. Your best strategy at this point is to say:
"that was a badly worded sentence, thanks for correcting me, what I really meant is this......"
and stop spelling profession with 2 fs
