I worked a tech support job on campus, which eventually paid enough that I nearly dropped out of school. Many of my coworkers did. I did put out three pieces of shareware, but never saw a dime from them. The biggest move I saw were my Pakistani roommates. They and all their friends brought back one duty-free "prayer" rug every time they went home. They could make about $2,000 on each rug. I did know one student who used a cash-back credit card to pay other student's tuitions. He'd split the cash-back with you, but his real benefit was bumping up his credit rating.
