Answer :

I did this for cash as a college student almost a decade ago. I think I got $20 (cash) per donation and could donate 2x a week. An extra $160 a month as a college student goes a long way. I remember that I would have to get weighed and have my temperature taken before donating. There was always a long wait, and the waiting room was filled with college kids and people who looked like they were homeless or a step away from it. The actual procedure isn’t that bad. It feels like donating blood, except the blood that gets circulated back feels a little cold. No biggie.
