In the museum of common characterizations, between the starving
artist and the old wise man, there is a creature known as
the poor college student.
Known for its never-ending search for
a quick buck and its insatiable appetite for junk food and
beer, the poor college student has quite a reputation. I
know the creature well, mainly because I am one myself.
Without a steady job (my apologies to our crestfallen writers
who are very aware that our wonderful newspaper hardly sustains
a grocery budget, let alone subsistence), and often in a
pinch for money, I too have sought the quick buck.
A friend of mine—from the same species
I may remind you—introduced me to that elusive quick
buck, and I learned I may even help a neighbor in the process.
What is this wonderful innovation in pseudo-salaries? |
