The Candy editors share what they did to earn extra cash in high school. How about you?
| Designed websites for friends. :) —Steph, Art Director | |
| I made friendship bracelets over the summer and sold them to my friends. But I didn't really earn much because I wasn't really into the whole "selling" business. I preferred saving up my allowance to buy something that I wanted badly. —Mimi, Managing Editor | |
| Nothing, absolutely nothing. I was lazy. Hehe.—Jennie, Beauty Editor | |
| Sadly, nothing. I could have made money off writing romantic letters for my guy friends to give to the girls they like, but love don't cost a thing so I was just happy to help them out. :P —Marla, Assistant Lifestyle Editor | |
| I remember selling mix CDs to my classmates back in the day of Napster and Audiogalaxy. Haha! Don't worry, I have stopped doing that. No to piracy! —Macy, Web and Mobile Producer |

I earned money through making "plates" for our drafting subject. 5 pesos each, not so bad. I use our copy machine to make a lot. :)

to avoid the relentless parasitism of my cl*ssmates, i sell pieces of yellow paper in different sizes; instead of giving it to them free. :) hahaha! Our country's economy is degrading, therefore, practicality should be exercised! :)
