NO. You forgot the 2.5 hours you spend driving wherever and the 2.5 hours you spend driving back to PSU. You also spend about $50 in gas for the trip.
PS. Panhandling is illegal in many areas.

That's $364 an hour & almost $73/hr per person.
And this is a charity event that raises money to help support the families of kids with cancer and the expenses/treatments that come with it as well as further research. People are good people and willing to give because no one wants little children to be dying of cancer. No one wants anyone to be dying of cancer.

Canning is ghetto.
You could have made the same money with a real job.

THON
Looks like this d-bag didn't gain admission to Penn State and he's taking it out on our nationally-recognized philanthropy. Keep it up, my friend. Keep it up. No one really cares what some loser thinks of our community service efforts that have helped many families.

It's usually $30, actually, and split among four or five people that's not bad at all. We all consider it part of our donation to THON.
And that's why you obtain permits to solicit in the township that you're in. Have a great day.

And in case you don't read News & Politics threads, he/she is a troll who just looks to get a rise out of people (which he/she has succeeded at here). Seriously, not worth your time.

Are you that inompetant that you can't find a $150 a week job within 150 miles of campus?
Since when does a bunch of people standing on corners begging equal a dance marathon?
