Cash Job

You can't donate plasma if you have ever passed out at the sight of blood. Doh.

I work for target (FT 15.46hr) and coke (PT 14.50hr. Every other weekend I can pull in $400 after taxes. Thats 2 days in a 2 week pay period )
I need something in the evening to pay some pills for a while.


Hold up...you make 15.46 at Target. Now thats some pretty cash there. Why is the pay check so low? I work for Target too. And I own a house, have a kid and a wife. If you work hard at Target you be making more. Are you a Team Lead or what?

Read again. The paycheck amount is referring to his Coca-Cola job.

I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is because blood is easily donated, where as getting plasma out is more time consuming and I've heard that it can be painful (basically they take the blood out of you, run it through something to separate the blood from the plasma, then put the blood back in you). Next time I donate blood I can ask for more info (as I've been curious as well, and also how much it pays). :)

Right on. They only take the plasma.

Very simple and the only think that is uncomfortable to me not being to fall asleep while you are donating:p In mankato (Biolife Plasma) you can donate 2 times in a 7 day period. You get 20 the first time and 30 the second. The extra $200 a month is nice especially since it only takes about an hour and a half per visit. It is how I pay for my TV and CC bills.

I have been in for four years and I became a team lead with in the first 60 days.

If you work hard they will hook you up.

I've done the opposite. I donated blood, they seperated the blood and the plasma, and pumped the plasma back into me. They did this twice, so the bag of blood they got from me was the same size as what they normally take, but twice the concentration of blood cells. It isn't painful. It's no more painfull then donating blood the normal way. Except they pump stuff back into you. It just feels a little cold going back in because it's been out of your body and getting all cold in the machine. I was really cold for about 2 hours after I donated though. It was the middle of summer, in Yuma Arizona, and I was driving around in the afternoon with my windows rolled up and the heat blasting. Other then that, wasn't that big of a deal.

Pizza driving FTW... you can get a night PT job pretty easy, might be a little more of a pain in the ass since it's summer, but with Fall coming up it should be easy.

You can make about 19 or so dollars most of which is non taxable.... depending on how honest you are =D Plus driving around listening to music and checking out chicks is fun.

I have never heard of that. How often do they let you do it? I know that you cannot donate whole blood very often because it takes longer to regenerate when compared to plasma. Plasma is pretty much protien and water.

I can't remember exactly, but it was something like 3-6 months or something until I could donate blood again.
