From age 18 to 70, you can become an amateur sports official at the local Parks and Recreation or high school level anywhere in the USA, and make up to $900 bucks a month - even if you work at a job.
Most everyone in America has drifted by a local park to watch a softball game or a high school soccer, baseball, football, basketball, volleyball game or any other type sport, and saw those men and women on the fields or in the gym wearing the funny striped shirts officiating the games. Did they get paid? You bet! You can do it, too. Part-time or full-time, many make up to $1,500 per month to help pay bills.
Step2
I speak from first hand experience. I officiated high school and college soccer, baseball and womens/girls softball for over 15 years and averaged $480 a week. And my officiating duties didn't begin until 3pm or 6pm if it was a night game. I made more money in 3 to 4 hours than most do working an 8 hour shift. Not to mention the fun, exercise and chance to make new friends.
Step3
No experience is required. Just pick a favorite sport, attend a few meetings, get certified and that's it. Visit your local Parks/Rec Dept for info or contact the sports editor of your local paper or the athletic department of your high school for info on meetings..etc. It's the easiest money you'll ever make.
