MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: Pay Desperate College Students To Do Anything For You

The idea: Agent Anything is a service that benefits both busy people and poor college students. Swamped at work and need to pick up your dry cleaning? Just post the errand on the site and let one of its many minions—who are all confirmed students—do it for you.

Whose idea: Harry Schiff and Oliver Green.

Why it’s brilliant: Why wait in line for the iPad 2 when you can pay someone to do it for you? Agent Anything is reliable, easy to use and, if you're in college, a great way to make some extra cash. Plus, there's not much of a limit to what you can ask. Recent requests included a bottle of Patron, a washing machine and a deep tissue massage.
