😱 Students are making MORE from plasma than part-time jobs!
⚡ Calculate YOUR potential college plasma income below!

Same time commitment, DOUBLE the money!
"I made $12,400 my sophomore year donating plasma. Paid for my entire meal plan and textbooks!"
GENIUS: Schedule donations between classes. Tuesday/Thursday = perfect plasma days. No weekend work like other jobs!
Pro tip: 9 AM appointments = shortest wait times and you're done before lunch.
GAME CHANGER: Summer = 2x per week for 15 weeks = $3,500+ in 3 months. More than most internships!
Many students make their entire next semester's expenses in summer break.
VIRAL TRICK: Bring 3+ friends for referral bonuses ($50-100 each). Some student groups coordinate "plasma parties"!
Greek life organizations have made this a group fundraising strategy.
EFFICIENCY HACK: Bring laptop/tablet. Study during donation (45 mins = productive time). Get paid to study!
Medical students love this - review flashcards while earning money.
ADVANCED: Different companies = separate bonus periods. Rotate between CSL, BioLife, Grifols for continuous bonuses.
Expert students can maintain $300+/week using this method.
