There is a young woman in my class who just lost her car to an accident. She was talking about getting a new one but she doesn't have the money. She was asking someone is there was a way she could earn some money. How do you broach the subject that she could make some money and make friends as well?

Make an off hand comment that you were watching Showtime's Diary of a Call Girl and maybe she should do that. You might want to watch an episode to be able to talk about it.
If you're her prof, do NOT give any advice about this line of work. Could get you into some trouble.

If you're a classmate of hers, do as KCPapa said....start talking about the TV series. You could say something like, "I was reading some articles from London and came across an interesting topic. This lady who was a call girl, Belle Du Jour came out of the call girl closet a few months ago." But, make sure you read up on it before hand.

Don't be surprised if you get a bad response though. However she responds, go with it.

If you have the right relationship, you could just make a joke saying "you could always become an escort!" and then laugh. You'll be able to tell which way to go by the way she responds. If she laughs and continues talking about it, you can let the conversation begin to seriously consider it.

One possible outcome is to completely lose the relationship, so realize that before you start.

no relationship to jeopardize, just a classmate with a need for money. I would describe her face as similiar to CiCi except only about 20 and she would be a spinner; short, slight, and wirey
Hmmm, ask her if she likes to play....

If she isn't going to be another Jutta Kleinschmidt then she might as well be the next CiCi.

Besides the "if" and "how" you should approach her...the most important question is if she's going to be any good. If not why bother? Do you get the feeling that she would? Does she have any tattoos? Describe her hair, makeup, jewelry, and clothing.

If she has flames tattooed on her boobs then you have a green light. GO GO GO!
"the most important question is if she's going to be any good"

How can it not be good when you're the first person to convince a young college student to become a business major? I say full speed ahead

I believe her major is journalism and she is a liberal. No tattoos that I can see.

Just don't push her into anything that she might regret later. It's up to her.

P.S. I don't think you have a chance in hell. She sounds too smart to fall for your sweet talk. heh heh

Tell her she should find a sugar daddy or two to help her out. If she asks how to do that tell her you may know a few people that would be interested.

You are walking a fine line,my friend. The laws of patronizing and enticing are very different. Enticing can get you into a lot more trouble.

Although the odds are slim of being prosecuted, I would not go there.
Best approach (and this works in strip clubs, too):

In your next conversation with her, work the conversation casually around to you sort of complaining about being stressed (work, hours, whatever). Then volunteer that you're bummed because there's an escort that you've seen for years who you had an appointment with but she had to cancel because her kid was sick. Casually say that appointments with her are your much-needed stress relief, that you have the cash for her burning a hole in your pocket but you don't know what you're going to do now.

Then. . . leave the subject alone. All you have done is put something on the table and walk away from it. Very non-threatening. You haven't invited her to do anything. You haven't suggested anything. All you have done is complain a little bit, and mention a subject that she may or may not know anything about. She's then free to ask questions about that subject. Her questions, or lack thereof, will tell you everything you need to know.

If she's curious, she'll ask questions ("Escort? What's that?", "What do you do when you see her?", or "How much does she charge?") and the conversation can go from there. Sometimes they'll point-blank say they've thought about it (or even would like to try it) but didn't know how to get into it safely. Refer her to this website or some other review site if you want. At that point you can just roll with the conversation.
