If you are a helpful<br /> person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer cooking classes, or teach another<br /> language if those are your passions. You can do this by teaching through a college or continuing education program,<br /> by creating your own classes, or by creating your own webinars or tele-seminar series online", Collamer says.<br /> If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love. Most hobbies have<br /> "stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a skilled and knowledgeable person. "You<br /> could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair bicycles, source missing parts for highly unusual items, and so on,"<br /> Collamer says.<br /> "The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies, search out the<br /> most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business models and revenue streams,"<br /> Collamer suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming from consulting services, videos, accessories, events,<br /> classes or product sales? What is their mix of products and services? What is their pricing strategy?" In doing this,<br /> you will discover proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as helpful information about how to price your<br /> own services and products.<br /> Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into a lucrative parttime gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into a side-line business," she explains.<br /> "Jewellery making is an expensive hobby and early on I decided to make it pay for itself. Since then I have<br /> developed two online stores and a relationship with a jewellery gallery that sells most of my work."<br /> Question 31.

In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of around<br /> 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it<br /> the number one spring break destination in the United States.<br /> A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university<br /> students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel<br /> locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage<br /> makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about.<br /> During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15<br /> "alternative spring break" trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five<br /> international trips. One group of JMU students travelled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by<br /> Hurricane Katrina. Another group travelled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a<br /> homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting<br /> physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida<br /> ecosystem.<br /> Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most<br /> university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help<br /> people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a<br /> school or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is<br /> much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots.<br /> Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States.<br /> Students cite a number of reasons for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new<br /> friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people's obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better<br /> place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a<br /> break from school work.<br /> Question 38. How many university students travel to Panama City Beach, Florida every March for spring break?<br /> A. Around 500,000<br /> B. Around 36,000<br /> C. Around 10,000<br /> D.
