SUGGESTIONS PLEASE...I need urgent 1600yoyos to pay school fees!

[dapo]

Hi forum,

Put it simply, i just got a letter from my college's registrar in the post this morning saying if i didnt pay up the 1600yoyos i owed by the 24th of march, i would be de-registered - NOOOOO! this is my dream college and one year ago i would have been well able to pay the money.

Am not lookin for handouts, im looking for suggestions from forum members, what can i do to make a substantial amount of cash immediately.

NB 've gone the student loan route and i dont have an account with my local credit union (stupid, i know )

PLEASE HELP!!!

What skills do you have?

 

[irislogic]

Yes, I'd like to know what skills you have too. For a really short period of time and if you specifically want to earn from the internet, I suggest you try and sell your services online. If you know how to write, how to web design, or how to do graphics, you can charge a fee for your skills and earn from it.

Ya play to your strengths, whatever they are. Give grinds, build a website, piano lessons.

Talk to your lecturers as well, talk to everyone you know.

Contacts are invaluable!

Then advertise yourself as a content writer for one.

And definitely talk to your lecturers / head of faculty, it looks better for them to see you graduate than drop out. They might put you in contact with someone that can help.
