Someone told me that people get paid if they participate in vaccine trials and stuff like that. Anything like that down here?

1. Check local alternative newspapers. |
|
Usually they target poor male college students and convicts. Sometimes the advert towards alternative culture types.

2. Check with local medical centers |
|
and university medical centers. They are always looking for research participants. You might also want to check with big pharma to test the safety/efficacy of new drugs.
Either way, it's a bit dicey, and you have to balance your comfort level and the risks to your body with your desire for $$.
Robert Rodriguez famously made "El Marichi" off funds he made being a research subject.

3. Don't know about florida |
|
but in San Diego there are always a lot of ads for that kind of stuff. There's a lot of medical research going on in around San Diego. I would always see them in the alternative paper.

4. blood plasm is like $75 a week |
|
I have never done it, but I had a few friends that went every weeks. They take out your blood and then separate the blood cells from the plasma, and then they pump the blood cells back into you. Your body can generate new plasma quickly enough that you can donate twice a week.

They advertise in the paper for the medical college. You can get paid a decent amount, almost like a real job. The ones that pay more require you to actually stay there for observation. Others are longer term and require several out patient visits.
