Plasma Donations $$$

Not every college student has a part-time job on the side of school work. Some students simply do not have time for school, work and a social life. Some students may be involved in clubs, athletics or campus organizations. Other students are financially and personally stable enough to focus all their time on earning their degree. But the job market in Fort Collins can make for a troubling time for a student seeking employment. When employment cannot be found, some students are forced to think outside the box.

Reilly Kelsen, a Construction Management major, donates his plasma to the CSL PlasmaCenter for cash twice a week. “I donate plasma because right now I currently don’t have a job and that is really my only source of income without watching my bank account drop drastically,” says Reilly, “Even if I do get a job soon, I still plan on donating plasma because it’s an easy way to get a little extra cash for the week without touching my bank account.”

Plasma donors can earn up to $300 a month for their contributions, this may be more than some students make with a part-time job. There are pros and cons when it comes to plasma donations though. This process works great for students like Reilly who cannot find a job at this time, but on the other hand some students may not be comfortable with the process.
