When it comes to cashing in on fame, Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi must be doing something right. Merchandising, appearances and oh yes, speaking. She recently earned a whole lot of Benjamins (and by that we mean $32,000) for speaking at Rutgers University in New Jersey!

According to NJ.com (via USA Today), Snooki was paid more than their commencement speaker in May, Nobel-winning writer Toni Morrison!

The school's vice president of the student's programing association comedy and movies committee wanted a speaker to appeal to Rutgers students. And appeal she did! Students apparently lined up in the afternoon to snag a wristband for the 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows.
Her advice? "Study hard, but party harder."
