Student Side Hustle — Kingsborough Community College, Brooklyn
Kingsborough is one of the most beautiful community college campuses in the country — and also one of the hardest to get to. If you're not from Marine Park or Manhattan Beach, you're spending real time and real money getting out there every day.
The Q35 doesn't wait for you. The commute is long. And when you get home, there's still homework, family, and a life to manage.
Shift pays $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home. No extra commute. No interview. No locked-in schedule. Two hours a day = $1,200/month.
Why Shift works for Kingsborough students
Kingsborough students are commuters. Most of you are working or have family responsibilities outside of school. A lot of you already handle cooking and cleaning for your household — it's just not a paid thing. Shift makes it a paid thing.
You don't need to go anywhere. You don't need to perform for a manager or meet a shift quota. You just record what you're doing — cooking dinner, cleaning the bathroom, running to the grocery store — and get paid for the time.
And because there's no schedule, it works around your real life. Good week? Record more. Midterms? Take it slow. No penalty either way.
What to record
- Cooking a meal — Anything you make at home. Prep to plate.
- Cleaning your room, kitchen, or bathroom — Focused 30-minute sessions count.
- Laundry — Sorting, washing, drying, folding. Full routine earns a full session.
- Grocery runs — Record the errand from leaving home to putting things away.
- Organizing a space — A closet, a shelf, a kitchen cabinet. All valid.
What you can earn
$20/hr. Two hours a day. Five days a week. That's $200/week. After a full month, you're at $1,200.
That's the MetroCard. The textbooks. The groceries. A bit of cushion you haven't had in a while.
