Snooki, whose novel A Shore Thing was released in January, may not win a Nobel Prize for Literature, but she is earning more money than someone with that honor for speaking at Rutgers University.

The Jersey Shore star headlined an event Thursday called "Inside the Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi Studio" at the school in Piscataway, N.J., where 1,000 students heard her talk about fist pumping, her signature hair pouf and the "GTL" lifestyle she lives out on reality TV, the university confirms to PEOPLE. She earned a whopping $32,000.

Rutgers students are split on whether Snooki is worth her fee.

"Such a waste of my money," freshman Dan Oliveto, 18, told the New Jersey Star-Ledger. "If I want to listen to someone talk, they should have something intelligent to say."

(Snooki's advice for Rutgers students: "Study hard, but party harder.")
