Concerned about tuition fees or paying off student loans? Here are a few creative ways to make some extra cash:

Egg donation – Put your eggs on this basket | bhed.com

According to APU’s very own career network posting, you can definitely donate your human eggs for a cause. You not only get paid around $8,000 to $10,000 for every donation, but you also get to help others be expectant parents through your “gift of life.” Everyone wins.

Miss Covina – As they say, if you think you got it, flaunt it. | misscovina.org

Miss Covina is a local scholarship pageant. It is also a preliminary to Miss California and eventually, Miss America. You can be a contestant as long as you’re a local resident, an APU student or work around the area that fits the main eligibility requirements: “born a female, never married, never pregnant, between the ages of 17 to 24, a citizen and of good moral character.”

Uber/Lyft driver

Have a sweet ride? Want flexible and good paying hours? Why not make profit off it while driving people around? If you’re at least 21 years old, have a 4-door car that’s “2001 or newer (2006 in some cities), and pass a background check” you can be a driver for these two companies.

What if you’re not 21-years-old but you have a car, a motorcycle, scooter, or bike? If you’re 18 years old and you have transportation, sometimes even walking can get this job done: delivering food to customers. Yes to flexible hours, good pay and all the tips you can keep.

Writing/Copywriting/Editing | guru.com | upwork.com

Codeword: Freelance. Yes, you can get paid for it. This isn’t just for writers but designers, artists, translators, and software programmers: turn your “dying industry” talent into profit.
