" Regardless of whether you pay for your child&amp;#039;s college education or if it is funded through loans, grants or scholarships, it&amp;#039;s a safe bet that he will need an extra source of income to get by. If your college student has little time available for a full- or part-time job, he easily can work one of these opportunities into his schedule to make money.   1. Sell research papers Your child already has put substantial work into researching and writing a college paper. He can get paid for his work by submitting it to web sites such as Associated Content, which allows you to make at least $1.50 for every 1,000 page views your paper receives. Your student should choose legitimate companies and avoid those that resell your papers to students looking for an easy break.   2. Edit research papers If your student receives good grades for his own research papers, he can make money helping others improve their own. Have him place ads about his affordable editing services on bulletin boards across his college campus. While some might charge a flat fee for their work (i.e., $15 per paper), others prefer to charge by the length of the paper (i.e., $5 for every 400 words).   3. Tutor fellow students Your child can take advantage of his college&amp;#039;s paid tutoring by acting as a student teacher to others. If he already has taken courses in which those seeking help are enrolled, he can be a huge asset. The pay usually is close to minimum wage, but the job offers flexibility in hours.   4. Ask about work study jobs Work study programs are the perfect option for college students. Your student may be able to find an on-campus job that allows him to work in between classes. The jobs usually are based on your current skills and financial needs. According to the 2006-07 Federal Work-Study Pay Scale Chart for undergraduate college students, work study jobs pay from $7.50 to $9 an hour.   5. Teach a class While he may not be skilled enough to teach a college-level course, your student may have a skill that others would love to learn. Encourage him to contact someone in the continuing education department about teaching a personal enrichment course. It may be a class about baking or any another activity your child loves. While compensation for this work would be comparable to that made by tutors, the experience your student will gain is worth the low wages.   6. Put skills to use Just because your child has not yet chosen a field of study doesn&amp;#039;t mean he can&amp;#039;t put newly learned skills to use. For example, if he just took a class in Dreamweaver and knows how to build web sites, he can sell his services as a web site designer. This kind of work can garner freelance wages, depending upon the requested work. GetaFreelancer.com is a great resource for finding the market value of your services.   7. Sell old textbooks Once a student has completed a course, he&amp;#039;s unlikely to open the course textbook again. Have your student resell old textbooks. Encourage him to get the best price for his books by placing ads on bulletin boards or online at half.com or eBay. Hardcover books sell particularly well on these Web sites, and in some cases, you could stand to make a $20 to $50 profit.   8. Do freelance work There are thousands of freelance opportunities online. Your student can write articles, offer technical support, perform online tutoring and much more. Make sure he focuses on his skills and searches for openings in those areas. Again, visit GetaFreelancer.com to gauge how much your services are worth.   9. Sell your crafts If your child is a particularly adept crafter, he can make money selling handmade crafts, many of which garner great interest and top dollar. Shops such as etsy.com allow you to market and sell you crafts as you would in a high-end boutique, with handmade sweaters, bags and jewelry selling for hundreds of dollars apiece.   10. Make cash off old video games If your child is a video game enthusiast who hasn&amp;#039;t played with his games for years, tell him he can earn cash back by selling them at web sites such as Amazon.com. Be sure he is offered the best price by having him compare what other auction sites are paying for similar games. In best-case scenarios, your child will make a profit by selling a video game during the height of its popularity. Shops such as SecondSpin.com help sellers make more money by creating a list of their customers&amp;#039; most sought-after games, all of which the store will pay more money to take off your child&amp;#039;s hands.
