10 Online Jobs for College Students that Pay $2000+ /Month

1. Online Survey Jobs for College Students:

 Some said it's not working while some are making fortune from it. I know of a guy who makes $500-$700 monthly from surveys alone, legit one am not talking of what they tell me, but the challenges i personally encountered was the genuine paying sites didn't approve my country of study, that way my monthly withdrawal was always small due to some services and criterias i have to follow, like paying for proxy sites, sharing commission with the accounts i use in withdrawing my earnings and lots more. Online survey is still the best if they approve your country, it takes less time to make between $2-$20 per completed survey.
