You're looking for a lot of money fast for little effort and your first lesson in school is going to be that pretty much nothing in life is that simple. Try and find a flexible part time job - they do exist, especially on campus. I worked two development jobs on campus that paid pretty well (for a student, anyway) - there was never any shortage of $12-15 an hour web development gigs here, which is more than your friends will be making as janitors or bookstore cashiers. I was also allowed to work remotely, and I gained experience and made a lot of useful university contacts this way. You can try things like contracting, but be ready for it to be a lot more work than you thought - when you have to deal with people it's almost never easy money. Whatever you choose to do, you're probably going to have to earn every penny.
