Unemployed and low on the green? No prob. Jog on over to your nearest Plasma Donation center and donate your plasma (the portion of blood that carries blood nutrients and oxygen throughout the body) for $20.
I've been meaning to head on over to one of these centers for months now. Here's how it works: if you are at least 18 years old, weigh 110 lbs., and haven't given whole blood in 8 weeks, you can travel to one of these centers (BYU Students! Check out the Alpha Plasma Center in Provo at 245 W 100 N) and have your blood plasma tested. If your plasma is healthy, some of it will be extracted, so that it can go to needy hospital patients. Then, you go home...$20 richer. For a 2-hour visit, that works out to $10/hour...
...That's more than I made working at Camp Kaleidoscope last summer.
The best part about it? Plasma regenerates quickly, so many Blood Plasma Donation Centers allow you to give blood twice a week. That can amount to $160 every month!
