Student Side Hustle — Lehman College, Bronx
Lehman students don't have easy schedules. You're commuting from the Bronx — or you're already in the Bronx, which means you know what it costs to live here and still go to school full-time. Tuition bills, MetroCards, groceries, family responsibilities. It adds up fast.
Shift is a simple idea. We pay $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home — cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands. You're already doing all of it. You're just not getting paid for it yet.
Two hours a day = $1,200/month. No car. No interview. No fixed schedule.
Why Shift works for Lehman students
A lot of Lehman students are commuters. Some have kids. Some are the ones doing the grocery runs and cooking for their households. That's real work — and Shift pays for it.
You don't need to add anything new to your day. You just record what you're already doing. Morning routine, a quick clean, dinner prep — it all counts. Start when you have time. Stop when you don't. There's no quota, no minimum, no penalty.
Bedford Park and the surrounding Bronx neighborhoods are affordable compared to Manhattan, but that doesn't mean money isn't tight. Shift earns from wherever you are. No commute required.
What to record
- Cooking dinner or meal prepping — Full session from prep to plating.
- Cleaning your apartment or bedroom — A focused 30-minute clean counts.
- Laundry — Sorting, washing, drying, folding. The whole routine earns.
- Grocery runs — Record the trip out and back, plus putting things away.
- Organizing a space — Closets, shelves, kitchen cabinets. It all qualifies.
What you can earn
$20/hr. Two hours a day. Five days a week. That's $200 in a week. Keep it going for a month and you're at $1,200.
That covers a MetroCard, groceries, a utility bill, and then some. Without taking on a second job or rearranging your whole life.
