Student Side Hustle — Baruch College, NYC

Baruch students get it. You're not in the Zicklin School of Business because you want to sit back and wait for things to happen. You understand ROI. You understand time as a resource.

So here's the pitch: Shift pays $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands. You're already doing all of these. You're just not getting paid for them yet.

Two hours a day = $1,200/month. No commute to Gramercy or Flatiron. No interview. No boss. Just your apartment and your phone.

Why this makes sense for a Baruch student

You're probably already working. A lot of Baruch students have internships, retail jobs, or family responsibilities on top of coursework. Your time is genuinely limited.

Shift earns around your existing schedule, not against it. Record a cooking session before your morning class. Record a quick clean when you get home. Record laundry on a Saturday. There's no minimum hours, no quota, no penalty for slow weeks.

The Gramercy and Kips Bay neighborhoods near campus are expensive. If you're commuting from Queens, Brooklyn, or Staten Island, you're spending money just to get to school. Shift earns from wherever you live.

Best tasks for Baruch students

• Cooking a meal — Anything you make at home counts. Record start to finish.
• Cleaning your kitchen, bathroom, or room — Short and focused sessions still pay.
• Laundry — The full routine from sorting to putting away earns a solid session rate.
• Grocery or errand runs — Record the trip to the store and back.
• Organizing your apartment — Closets, desks, shelves. Small-space organization is valid.

The math

$20/hr. Two hours a day. Five days a week. That's $800 in your first two weeks alone. By month's end, you're at $1,200.

That's textbooks, MetroCards, groceries, and some actual savings — without adding a second job.
