I fed myself in college off plasma donation money. It paid about $100 a week. You could only donate twice per week, and the majority of the pay came on your second donation each week. It took just over an hour to donate each time, close to $50 an hour was amazing money a few years ago when I was a college student.
While you were donating you could watch movies, read books, homework was kind of an option since you didn't have the use of one of your arms.

If they didn’t pay I’d probably donate maybe once a year. I never felt “exploited”, and I’m sure somebody needed that plasma.
- ngngngng 7y agoExactly. I hate all these comments about how if we pay people for blood then we'll get "dirty blood". Poor != dirty
- Clubber 7y agoYes, it's one of the few success stories of US health industry. You get paid to donate blood, and you are helping people in need.
- Scoundreller 7y agoHow do you feel about others labelling your life-sustaining products as a « dirty blood » product because you were paid for your time?
