What will Ten Dollars Buy You?

So a clean-cut college guy asks me do you have work for me to do?  I need to earn $10. I'm thinking he has either set his sights low or he is not really interested in working.  But I give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him what his story is? This is where it gets funny... Sort of...

He says he just came from a bank and they will open a checking account with an $10 deposit.  He can have overdraft protection on it.  He really needs $150 to pay his rent.  He figures he will write a $150 dollar check with a planned overdraft and pay it back plus a $30 NSF fee within 30 days.  I suggest to him, they call that a HOT check and you go to jail for writing hot checks.

He honestly and sincerely asks if I have a better idea.  He was sleeping in a field, but it was tough keeping up with his books and things.  His rent due was his part of 6 others renting a house together.  I was impressed with how he was doing everything he could do to get a college education.  But strongly recommended he find a different way to pay his rent...

Oh yes.  To be young again...
