Student Side Hustle — BMCC, NYC
You're at BMCC. That probably means you're also working — maybe full-time. Maybe two jobs. School is the thing you're fitting in around everything else, not the other way around.
Tribeca is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. You don't need us to tell you that. You feel it every time you grab food near campus or check your bank account on a Tuesday.
Shift pays $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands. No commute required. No interview. No fixed hours. Two hours a day = $1,200/month.
Why Shift works for BMCC students
BMCC has one of the most diverse student bodies in New York. A lot of students are supporting themselves. Some are supporting families. Most don't have eight free hours a week to give to a part-time job.
Shift doesn't ask for eight hours. It asks for two. And those two hours are already in your day — they're just not paid yet.
Record dinner while you're cooking it. Record the weekend clean while you're doing it anyway. Record laundry when it's the only productive thing you have energy for. Shift earns in the margins of a full life, not instead of one.
What to record
- Cooking a meal — From prepping ingredients to plating the food.
- Cleaning your apartment or room — A quick, focused clean still earns.
- Laundry — Sorting through folding counts as a full session.
- Running errands — Grocery store, pharmacy, post office. Record the trip.
- Organizing your space — Kitchen, closets, desk. Small spaces count too.
What you can earn
Two hours a day at $20/hr. That's $40 a session. Keep it up five days a week and you've got $200 by Friday. Do that for a month — $1,200.
For a lot of BMCC students, that's rent money. Or the bill you've been pushing back. Or finally having a cushion so you stop running on fumes.
