Today my eyes opened! I’ve been searching for months now about how I can make money as a student and I think I found it!

Like many other students that share my misfortune of being broke, relying on parents, and figuring out how to get a little extra cash to buy things; it gets a little exhausting if you know what I mean. Fact is, I am a 23 year old college student about to start chiropractic school in January, which means I’m looking at three and a half more years of school and a wonderful $250,000 debt. I can’t wait!

The burden this career path puts on me seems to be a bit much especially with my parents always yapping at me about the economy and how we need to just get by.

Either way I’ve made a decision, I am NOT going to graduate at 27 years old, be a quarter million dollars in debt, and have nothing to show for it but a doctorate. The worse part about it is that the average chiropractor makes $50,000-$60,000 a year. That amount of money will leave me paying off debt for the next ten years of my life.

My solution: to make money as a student!

When I first realized this obvious solution I immediately crossed out some options. You see, my first semester of chiropractic school is 24 units and given my record of laziness, getting a “real” job like a food server or something just won’t work. So like I said earlier, I got excited because I came across something that I think can really make me some money, affiliate marketing.

To give a brief summary of what affiliate marketing is, Affiliate marketing is where you (the affiliate) promote products for other businesses and merchants. The best part about affiliate marketing is that it is the greatest way for anyone to make money in college. You do everything right on your computer at home… No products, no boss, no start-up costs, and all the little details are done automatically with affiliate marketing software.

So what’s the point?

The whole point is that today I also came across a company that basically hand walks you through the entire process. Many of their members are earning $500 or more per day! I figured that $500 per day would probably solve all of my problems. (Well, most of them) On top of that, after seeing the chart below, I joined as soon as I could grab my wallet. Its just a simple chart showing the very true reality of today’s cultural education system.
