    You could always ask relatives for money if things are tight while going to school. You can switch to a free to play game. People do make money from streaming, but if you look, they have tens of thousands of viewers, usually part of a pro team, and have been streaming for a long period of time. It's not going to fix your cash problems right now.

    You said you don't want a part time job, which implies you don't want to invest a lot of your time.
    So something like, collecting pop bottles for recycling (I see that all the time, often with either a bike or a shopping cart) might not be for you.

    If you have any kind of skill, that other people want, you could make a How To guide.
    Quite frequently, popular topics would be How to Make Extra Cash on the Side or How to Find a Guy/Girl.
    Your document doesn't need to be long, but it should have the details.
    It could be:
    How to Run a Pet Walking Business.
    How to Run a Lawn Mowing Business.
    Whatever, really.

    Advertise, which could be a poster on a telephone pole saying send $20 (or $49.99) to wherever... often a higher price is perceived as more legitimate/valuable, than a lower one (experiment for a sweet spot).
    If you want to experiment a little, advertise in the classified section of a few papers... or eventually advertise in hundreds of papers.

    For each place you advertise, modify your address slightly (you may want to use a PO Box, for privacy).
    Station M, <Insert Address>
    Department 4132, <Insert Address>
    That way, you know which form of advertising is profitable and which is not.

    How about doing the Kessel Run? I bet that if you could do it in less than ELEVEN parsecs then you could make some decent cash smuggling people that are hoping to avoid Imperial entanglements.

    ps - If you're getting a 4.0 right now have you considered tutoring?

    Play EVE, earn enough isk every month and you can use PLEX to pay for your accounts. I bounce back and forth between plexing all of them and plexing for 2/3 paying for 2/3.

    The only legal way I know to make money playing a game is to play Blizzard's Diablo3 and sell your items on the Real Money Auction House. It's alot like EQ2s Auction house (Livegamer) when they had it working. I used to make anywhere from $200-$1500 a week in EQ2 selling characters, gold, and items when i 6-boxed. Diablo3 people can make huge amounts of money if they 4-box and sell all the best items on the RMAH. Just google what people are making off the RMAH and you will be surprised at all the money they are making.

    There seems to be a dupe problem with WoW (I have lost a lot of gold this expansion cuase items will not sell for what they should), is there no problem in D3? If they sort it out in D3 then maybe at some point they will have a Real monies AH in WoW.

    where are u getting the revenue from your stream? from donations or ad revenue?

    Not sure what you were getting at with eve but sounds like it worked for you.

    @ lol at the star wars reference.

    Im going to talk to my school when the semester starts about tutoring, I have a feeling doing it through the school wouldn't pay though. Maybe ill putup some fliers on the bulletin board.
