Teen Topic - a palatable and profitable summer job

  This past weekend I was at a party and there were a lot of people there I didn’t know. Through conversation with one of them, I found out about a very cool summer job for college students that anyone with some internet savvy, research skills, and determination can do.

One of the men there had a daughter home for the summer between her first two years of college. She knew that all the jobs available to her were low paying, and because she lived in the country, there wasn’t much to choose from even if she did want to work away her summer for a pittance. So what she did was create her own “job” and it was to find herself scholarships.

She spent time every day working at this, looking for those forgotten, small scholarships that go unclaimed or are under-applied for each year. She set her goal to apply for at least five scholarships each week. She concentrated on the $200 ones or the $500 ones, rather than the $10K ones that everyone else was looking to win. By the end of the summer she had won $30,000 in scholarships for the upcoming school year! Now that’s impressive!

How did you pay for college?
