Moving costs and frequent eat outs got you strapped for cash? Try selling your blood plasma. It’s a convenient way to make some extra spending money without having to tie yourself down to a job.

Giving plasma feels just like giving blood, but takes about twice the amount of time. Each donation session takes about two hours and pays about $40. Actual needle in the arm time only runs about an hour.

First time donors should be prepared for a through check up and intense questioning on their sexual history. Unfortunately due to health risks , prostitutes, drug needle users and frequenters of unprotected gay sex will be screened out.

While the plasma is flowing out of your arm, you can enjoy a relaxing movie, drink some Gatorade and socialize with the other plasma donors. The plasma crowd ranges to everything from possibly homeless to fellow college kids. But then again, is there really that big of a difference between the lifestyles of college kids and homeless?

Unlike blood donation, plasma can be donated up to three times a week. Who needs work study or a steady job when your body produces liquid gold, otherwise know as plasma.

Not only are you making some dough, but you’re helping cancer victims and burn victims everywhere.
