How Can College Students Make Money Online or Find Internships? 💸🎓

Hey dev.to community!
Hope you all are doing well in your lives!!

I’m a college student looking to explore ways to earn some real money while studying. Balancing college and finances can be tough, so I’m curious about how other students or bloggers have managed it.

I’m particularly interested in:

Online side hustles – anything that actually pays real money (freelancing, content creation, microjobs, etc.)

Internships or work opportunities – both paid and valuable experience-wise

So here’s where I need your help:

Have you or someone you know successfully earned money while in college?

What online side hustles actually worked for you?

Do you know of internships or platforms where students like me can join and earn or gain experience?

I’d love to hear your stories, tips, and suggestions. Even small pieces of advice can go a long way!

Also, if there’s anything out there that’s currently open for college students like me, please drop a link or suggestion—I’m eager to start right away

Thanks in advance, dev.to! Let’s help students turn their free time into something productive 💡
