Student Side Hustle — Bronx Community College

Student Side Hustle — Bronx Community College

You're at BCC because you're serious about building something. University Heights is a working-class neighborhood, and most students here know what real responsibility looks like. Some of you are taking care of younger siblings. Some are helping parents with bills. Some are doing all of it while carrying a full course load.

Shift doesn't ask you to do more. It pays you for what you're already doing.

We pay $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home — cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands. Two hours a day = $1,200/month. No interview. No car. No fixed schedule.

Why Shift works for BCC students

BCC students don't have slack in their schedules. If a job requires you to show up on time every week no matter what, that's a problem. Things come up. Family needs you. The train runs late. Life happens.

Shift doesn't have a fixed schedule. You record when you can. If you get two hours in today, great. If tomorrow is impossible, that's fine. Your account stays active. There's no penalty for real life.

And the tasks are things you're already doing. You don't have to learn anything new. If you cook dinner for your household, that's a session. If you clean the apartment, that's a session. You're just adding your phone to the routine.

What to record

  • Cooking meals — Anything at home. Family recipes, quick dinners, meal prep.
  • Cleaning — Kitchen, bathroom, common areas. Even a focused 20-minute clean counts.
  • Laundry — The full routine, start to finish.
  • Errands — Grocery store, pharmacy, any regular trip. Record it.
  • Organizing your space — Cabinets, closets, shelves. All valid.

What you can earn

$20/hr. Two hours a day. Five days a week. That's $1,200 a month.

That's groceries for a full household. That's a utility bill covered. That's money you didn't have to borrow.
