"Which if any of these money making ideas would fit your interests or skills? Do you have other ideas of things you could do to make money without a job in Provo?'
For international students, they can only work on campus and earn a low salary. Actually, there are a great many ways to make money without a job. If you have a skill or craft, you can fix car, appliances, bike; or you can teach children piano, painting, martial art. Another way is you sell something online. You can buy with cheap price and sell it with a little more price. For me, I just need to invest to stock market to make money, that is my craft.
ReplyDeleteThis article was very interesting, and I was shocked. I didn’t know that they could make money without a job. If I will do it, I will fix motorbike, because my father has motorbike shop. He can fix everything about it. When I grow up, I just saw that. I am so sad I don’t have skill to make money actually. I really envy them.
ReplyDeleteThese three money making ideas all don't fit me. I don't know how to design T-shirts nor making crafts. However, I'm familiar with investing stocks, but I don't want to make money with that.

Yeah, I am thinking to start my own business because I feel that the work on campus is not enough for me. I have the idea to start make parties at the beginning they are going to be free but they have to be amazing. Some time after I will start charging for the cover. I want to have all the elc and byu in my parties. I really like this idea because I want to study business management and I want to have my own business about recreation and logistic events.
ReplyDeleteThis article talked about different students' ideas that how to make money without having a regular job on campus. Other ideas could be to sell cakes, food, make parties, bring traditional articles from foreing countries and sell them here among American students.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but I think I can do something more related with selling things, for example I ask more shell collars and wristbands to sell it here in Utah, I can earn more money with foreign stuff than sell t-shirts. I can cook peruvian food, or maybe I can do Little Caesars delivery (because they don't have delivery) I have a bicycle maybe it will work, but just in certain areas and with more planing I'll do that.
ReplyDeleteThis article is very interesting. My studybuddy said, "Babysitting is really common way for people to earn extra money especially the girls." I agree with it. If I have a chance to babysit, I will do it. And also blood donation is good to earn extra money. I could also sell cellphone charms on Etsy because international students have more difficulty getting a job.
ReplyDeleteThis article talks about students who don't have a jobs. They have found other ways to make money. Some students designed shirts to sell in a store, some students decided to sell plasma, and some students sell homemade crochet crafts on eBay or Etsy. Randy Lin
ReplyDeleteThe article is about making money without having a job. There are three examples that students make money, for example first student designs and sells t-shirts, another student sells his plasma, the other student sells his or her handmade crochet crafts. I would love to give some advises about healthy lifestyle but I don't think I will make money about it. Also, I would like to teach yoga for students who like to start doing yoga. Yoga clubs are expensive here, but I will offer inexpensive price, so that I can make some money.
ReplyDeleteWinter is coming and people pay to shovel the snow from their front yards. Students can go to the homes in Provo and offer their services. Also I think one of the best ideas is to sale things, maybe you can use your talents to make souvenirs that are typical on your country and sale it. I have a full time job selling insurance, but I really think students can make money in many ways. I just remember I have a friend who asked me a month ago if I knew any student that can help his two kids with their homework and he will pay for the services.
ReplyDeleteI have heard several stories about foreign students who earn money without a job. I fully understand this. Although now I have a work in the campus, it was hard to find this. Before it, I saw many announcements about job offers in the campus, but when I called in order to get an interview, I couldn’t to get it. I think is the same with another foreign student. So, is very interesting to know several ways to earn money doing activities and little business. In my case, I would like to cook traditional Peruvian food and baking cakes to earn additional incomes.

I'm thinking in maybe donate plasma. Because I don't want to work and I don't have skills enough to start my own business like cooking something or making shirts.
ReplyDeleteIt always makes a huge difference when somebody is creative. In our whole life, we, every so often, face difficulties that we have to overcome. This article is a true example. As full time students, finding a job can be really painful. Due to class schedules, and homework, it is just not easy to work. Consequently, they are short on cash. Nevertheless, they've got to survive. Then comes imagination into the equation. It's a fantastic capacity that every human being has. It only has to be developed. At the end, it will be just amazing to see what that can make you do for yourself or your community.
ReplyDeleteThis article talks about BYU students make money without job. I just interesting in the last person who sell the craft online.It is possible for me to sell something online.But the second person's way to make money is dangerous for me. I am never think about earn some money without job in Provo.If I have to go this way, I think I will be a personal Chinese teacher or do some business online.
ReplyDeleteAfter I read this article, I think about something can get a money without job. I am interested in making accessary especially ribbon crafts. I can make hair pins and hair bands by using ribbon.
