Money Continued from Page 14 pudding during the day.” Harris offers shorter studies, too. Brian said he once participated in a two-day, $700 study. But die money didn’t come easily, he said. The study required 60 blood draws over two days. Josh recommended being patient and waiting for a good Harris study— one that requires a short stay, few blood draws and pays big money. He said one of the best studies he participated in paid $800 for a week end stay and had only 40 blood draws. Josh has another way to make mon ey that involves no needles. It may be unscrupulous, but it’s quite legal: changing long distance companies. The major phone companies pay cash to get customers to switch. Josh said he made $ 125 by switching twice. Brian has one more way to get cash, but it requires a lot of patience and a willingness to get dirty. At the end of the school year, he said, students throw away lots of things, some of which are still useful. “Go out and dumpster dive and hold a garage sale,” he said. “You’d be amazed what kind of stupid junk peo ple throw away that other people will buy.” Brian made $ 170 from his last junk sale.
