bhimberg said:Tutoring is a great way to work up some cash. Once you have experience from a learning lab type environment you may be able to go off on your own (post flyers etc). Teaching groups of 3-5 for 8-10 an hour each can work out well, though most of the time it will be one on one. Working for yourself means its under the table. Working for an organization is easier though, and may offer more hours.

Not everybody is able to work study. At my university it is only available to those whom qualify through the financial aid office.

Many colleges and universities have transfer agreements in place that allow students to transfer credits from their associates degree to a four-year program. However, it is important to research and confirm the transferability of your credits with the specific institution you plan to attend.
