Hey ThinkTalkers,

I’m sure most of you are rejoicing, as I am, that it is Wednesday; that means the work/school week is halfway done. While looking forward to the rapidly approaching weekend and thinking about all of the glorious activities you could be doing I bet some of you are sighing and thinking, “man, I wish I could afford that.” Maybe you’re in school and can only work part-time because of classes and an internship, maybe you have a full time job as a recent grad and aren’t making quite as much as you thought you’d be.

The point is there’s always an option to help you earn a few extra bucks so you can buy that pretty girl from your physics class a drink this weekend or get yourself a new party shirt!
