Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
College Student Side Hustle
Kara Ross · 2021
52/100
👎 Skip It
This one's grounded in the author's own story — waitressing through debt, stumbling into dropshipping, graduating debt-free — which gives it more heart than most side-hustle guides. It comes with exercises rather than just a list of ideas, which helps. Still, one person's story isn't a guarantee and nobody's fact-checked the details, so it's a mixed recommendation.
