Who needs a part-time job to pay for college? While your friends are making lattes for caffeine addicted soccer moms, grab your laptop, head over to the overpriced coffee chain they work at and fire up UltimateBet on your Mac or PC. It could be the smartest move you'll ever make

That's because UltimateBet is now qualifying players for the College Challenge Main Event, a $30k tournament that begins online and wraps up in Los Angeles. And if you study hard, you can score enough cash to pay for your college tuition.
