Eggs are Worth Some Serious Cash

There are lots of times that I’m glad I’m a girl – okay all the time – but recently I realized that girls have it better in almost everything, even payment for bodily donations.

If the fliers on my car back in college are to be believed, sperm donation can earn you a few hundred bucks if you are degreed, attractive, tall, etc. The more desirable you are, the more you can earn from your donation. Of course if you’re short, dumb and ugly you can only make $50 or so, but that’s still quite a bit for something most boys do daily anyway.

Girls, though, can net thousands for egg donation. Of course, boys can donate sperm every day if you wanted to, and the same isn’t true for being an egg donor, but apparently you can make $6000 by donating eggs to a family looking for help with a baby. Not bad for a month’s work.
