Don't ignore tax. I'm assuming this is $10k net, not gross. For purposes of simplicity, let's assume (as a college student who is unemployed but for the events generating this money) that you would have to pay 20% tax on earnings between federal, state, and FICA tax. That means that you have to actually generate $12,500 or more in income in 5 months.

Perfect. Go to the Amish and offer to be their agent to the English. Tell them that you will go market their products (barns, sheds, etc) in the nearest city. Take 10 to 20% commission.
Contact my buddy in Charleston SC. They sell solar there and are making $6-$10g's a month. Straight commission and you'll knock on lots of doors but they roll.

I'm wondering this as well. OP, are you in a situation where you are currently employed, but need to raise $10K beyond what you normally earn, or do you just need to make $10K over the next 5 months, period? If the latter, it seems like just about any form of full-time employment would suffice.
Yes, I am currently unemployed and just need to net $10k over the next 5 months. Unfortunately, due to where I live, there aren't any jobs.
Then move. Unless you have kids. I worked in the national parks for years after college. 2008-2014.
The initial start cost is applying online. Yellowstone, glacier, Yosemite. They offer housing and my first year I took a bus for two days to get west. Make sure you are a server, make a fake resume to be a server. I averaged making 15-25k in cash during a summer season, then would travel the world in the winter. Find websites like coolworks. Only you can change your life.
Is this real?
Get a f*cking job. Minimum wage ~50 hrs/week will do the trick.
Also, as a side hustle, take $50 and no more and start gambling it.
did you drop out of college or are just one year deep and continuing?

I agree with this. The Amish do fantastic work at a nice affordable rate. But not many folks know about their work. Market for them

im a builder, a stone mason by trade. there are a plethora of dilapated and abandoned buildings in rural areas across the states. all you need is a pickup and you can fill it up with bricks from these buildings which are worth between 20 cents to 1 dollar a brick. all you need are a knowledge of locations by simply driving around, and then you sell your loot to an aggregate company or direct to a building site. obviously this is dangerous work, but i did this every summer throughout college (as well as doing ther jobs) and made 3000 easy in 2 months.

This is pretty interesting, but I'm curious as to whether it's legal. Aren't the bricks technically owned by whomever owns the land? Probably no one cares, but what's the risk factor?
often these buildings have been abandoned recently or a failed housing scheme which hasnt been completed. i used to ring landowners if i could find out who they are. 9/10 they didnt care what happened to the buildings, but make sure to sound like a professional...for example "i am calling on behalf of Smith & Son aggregates to enquire about site x". if i didnt know the landowner i would recon the site first, and start moving bricks earky in the morning (like 3am), and duck taled my registration number over, concealing my face (although this was probably unnecessary). obviously the work is dangerous, particuarly dealing with layered flooring, so care is needed.
5 months = 152 days
Assume 2 days off per week = 108 working days
Gross up 10,000 to cover SS, Medicare, and income tax. It should be really low, as standard deduction is $6,350. Let's go with 0.2 to be safe:
10000/0.8 = 12500
12500 /108 = $116 per day.
If you can make $15/hr, that's 7.75 hours paid work per day.
If you can only get $10/hr then it's 12 hours.
