10 Ways To Save Money As A Student In America
3. Sell Your Papers
Though consistent with the principles of a meritocracy, school usually only pays off in the long term. An enterprising student, however, can start getting returns on his investment as he studies, by selling his essays.
There are a number of platforms through which a student can find clients looking for essays he may already have finished, or ones that require just a little tweaking. On the flip side, he could search for what’s needed and choose topics based on that. By and large, many of these essays are contracted by other students for their own homework, so ethics are somewhat of a concern.
It’s possible, however, that they could be used as copy for other publications. Perhaps the advantage of ghostwriting is one doesn’t always know for sure, but cynical probability suggests that a good portion will be used dishonestly. For those prone to a guilty conscience, academic journals are available for transparent submission as well, and many offer at least some payment.
Not to mention, the prospect of getting paid and/or published provides that much more motivation for assignments.
