Student Side Hustle — Fordham University, NYC
Fordham has two very different campuses. Rose Hill in the Bronx. Lincoln Center in Midtown Manhattan. Both have one thing in common: tuition that doesn't stop, and living costs that keep climbing.
If you're a commuter student, you're spending money getting to campus every day. If you're living near Rose Hill or in Manhattan for the Lincoln Center campus, rent is a constant pressure. A side income isn't optional — it's necessary.
Shift pays $20/hr to record everyday tasks you're already doing at home. No special equipment. No car. No experience required. Just your phone and a couple hours a day.
Why Shift works for Fordham students
Fordham students are used to juggling. Classes, commutes, maybe a part-time job. A rigid work schedule doesn't fit into that.
Shift is fully flexible. Record a cooking session after class. Record a quick clean on a Sunday morning. Record your laundry run when you have a free afternoon. There's no penalty for skipping a day.
If you commute from the Bronx, Queens, or New Jersey, your home is where you record. You don't need to be near campus. You just need your apartment and your phone.
Best tasks for Fordham students
- Cooking dinner or meal prepping — Whatever you make counts. Record it from start to finish.
- Cleaning your room or bathroom — Short sessions still pay. A 30-minute clean earns $10.
- Laundry — Sorting, loading, switching, folding. Record the routine.
- Tidying a small apartment or dorm space — Desks, shelves, closets.
- Grocery or errand runs — Walking to the store and back qualifies. Record the trip.
What commuter students earn
Two hours recorded a day = $1,200/month. That covers a MetroCard, groceries, and part of a phone bill. For commuter students already stretched across multiple boroughs, that's real money.
No car. No office. No interview. Just tasks you do anyway, recorded on your phone.
