I am a student. How can I learn new things while making a TINY bit of money?

I'm just a student, and my goals aren't very high. "Get rich quick" schemes are ludicrous! I'm talking a hundred or two a month. Mostly I just want to learn. I'm not planning to go into business or startups, so I'm not looking for an enormous resume-boost either.

I'm overflowing with ideas but most of them are extremely complex and would require an enormous initial investment and months of full-time work-- while I'd love to pursue these in the future, right now I just want something interesting that will help get me by.

I'm not sure if I'm asking for (general) ideas or advice, so I'd appreciate anything you could offer.

When you say "Student" what do you mean? High-School? College? (Under)Grad? Lower Ed?

If you're in college try checking around for intro web development spots or even student repair/IT work. While doing so learn how to code. This is under the assumption you want to learn more about computers and coding; I'm not positive exactly what track you're looking for under "learn new things."

Donate plasma. 50 dollars a week for two 3 hour periods of your time. Plus, you can take a book with you.
