Re: how much money does the average 20-21 year old have?
[ QUOTE ]
I call PSU alumni and ask them for money. [/ QUOTE ] I take it you're in "development" (i.e. you're a shark). Is that a fairly easy job? I have a friend who does it here at Purdue and loves it, but I'm not sure if it's like that everywhere else.

I have a friend who does it here at Purdue and loves it, but I'm not sure if it's like that everywhere else. [/ QUOTE ] I work for the Office of Annual Giving. There are two departments: one does fund raising by phone and the other by mail. I work for the former. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. It takes a few shifts to get the hang of things. But once you do, it's all good. We call various groups of alumni and graduates and ask them for money. Sometimes, the call is for a very specific allocation (scholarship funds) and others it's more open-ended. The job pays well for an on-campus job. Since the minimum wage hike, we start at $7.25/hour and that rate goes up based on longevity and attendance rates among other things to a maximum of $9.25/hr. I'm up to around $8/hour now. However, the hours are limited. I normally work about 13 hours/week (four shifts), but with bonus performance hours/attendance bonuses, I get paid for about 20 hours per week. The work schedule is flexible, but you have to work a minimum of three shifts per week (six are available for the summer). You get three personal days to use as you see fit. You get bonus hours for working extra shifts (attendance bonuses). You also get extra pay for receiving credit card orders and donation upgrades (performance bonuses). The management is very personable and flexible when dealing with employees. In terms of on-campus jobs, it's the best one that's easily available. It's really improved my communication and socialization skills. My patience and tolerance for obnoxious [censored] increased as well.

Re: how much money does the average 20-21 year old have?
"When I told my parents two years ago that I wanted to take poker seriously they said it was ok as long as I routinely gave them money that they'd invest for me. I strongly recommend this to anyone. It has allowed me to play with an extremely large bankroll, not tilt or risk too much and makes it near impossible to go broke. "
I do this to an extent as well. My parents see every check I get, so its more like "real money".
