I would like to join this search for additional income while in college. I have to warn you first that i am a very different case. I dont actually need to make any additional money right now, becuase i work full time- okay, im in the military. The military pays for my college (mostly- i get $4500 per year in tuition, i still pay for books, but no complaint here). I make plenty of money to afford anything i want, i even save and invest lots of this money.

I know what your thinking: "this guys got plenty of money, so why does he need more?". Well, heres the thing, im in a very serious relationship right now. We are contemplating getting married and having her move out here to live with me (im stationed in Okinawa Japan). If she does this, I want to support her through college as well (she will work when she can, but im not sure what jobs are available for her on this tiny Japanese island). I would like to be able to support her without having to take out student loans putting us in debt.

I currently work about 8-10 hours/day on the weekdays, the possibility for me to get stuck with a 24 hour duty is always present, and i am taking 2 college courses that require a substantial reading load (substantial for me because i cannot yet read very fast- my PhotoReading package seems to be lost in the mail

). Other than that, the rest of my freetime can go toward whatever i choose. For instance, many of you may know that Im experimenting with the stock market, and this is taking up some of my freetime.

So thats my situation, and any help i can get is greatly appreciated.

I would like to take this moment to add that this site is excellent. Not because of the site itself (not that anything is wrong with it) but because of the great people who patronize it. Everyone here is very helpful, and we all share personal development as common ground. I dont know how to express my gratitude for this site, except to contribute to it what I can in the form of posting. If anyone ever thinks i may possess some knowledge that may be helpful to them, please let me know. I may have a busy schedule at times, but i am more than willing to help- Its the least i can do after all the help i get from this site!
