Medical research
 
Anybody here ever been a paid volunteer for medical research? I signed up for the local research center, and they pay like $400-$1,000+ to volunteer for one of their trials.

Testing medication in a controlled environment

I wouldn't do that. As fun as it is to get 400 bucks to have my head grow grotesquely large or something, i'd rather keep it at the level of ugly i'm used to.

If you really want money you could always just go to a sperm bank and donate. Less side effects and you could strengthen your grip! :p

Good luck STE. I hope all goes well. They do these all the time and you rarely hear of problems. I actually had a friend with terminal cancer who was let into a study of a radical drug. He ended up getting the placebo. After about 6months of testing they had such great results that they decided that they would give the actual med to all of participants. Unfortunately, it was too late for him and he passed away, but a gal who was worse off than him when the study began and became his friend got the original drug and has been in remission for 3 years now.

Why don't you just use your *powered tool* we hear so much about and use asylum's suggestion?
