last updated 2/9/22 . . the jobs here are more than just good ideas. i got tired of applying for jobs and getting passed over or filtered out for arbitrary reasons. in no particular order these jobs are non conventional application or non conventional interview process. some don't require an interview at all. . my jobs . before i get into the rest of the jobs i want to go over jobs i have or had. i have more insight and information about jobs i've had or have. . 1. driver (lyft, uber, taxi, limo, school bus, truck) . i'm putting uber and amazon in seperate paragraphcs after this one because there is enough information for each to have a seperate paragraph, and i don't want to get the info lost in this paragraph. limo, taxi, school bus, and truck require interviews, and i don't know as much about them other than they probably pay a bit over minimum wage and you can't have any accidents on your record. i do know doordash and grubhub are better than ubereats and caviar has a waiting list. . i'm going to start driving people for uber. i have done almost 1000 deliveries for ubereats. uber and ubereats pays the least to drivers out of any food or people driving service. uber doesn't also cost the customer the least, which is bad. the good things are everyone knows about uber so there is a good demand. i would say uber and ubereats is a good job to get some income if you need to do something and need income and don't want to take a while searching for jobs or applying. it's not exactly a job you want to make a lifelong career out of, even though i'm thinking about trying to work for uberblack, the limosine version of uber. i would earn anywhere from $5 to $25 an hour with ubereats, and i hear you can earn a little more with uberx which is driving people. if you decide to sign up for uber you can use my code and i'll get $500 if you do so many deliveries or rides in the first 2 months. if you contact me and tell me you did that, i'll make sure you get some money if and when i receive that pay. you just input my code as me who referred you to uber and then if you want to make sure to get some pay when i get the bonus, tell me you did using my contact info page, text or email preferred. . use my code CHRISTOPHERC35217UI or use my link https://www.uber.com/signup/drive/deliver/?invite_code=fdzgjzcdy . that brings me to amazon. with uber and ubereats you can go hours without a ride or delivery. amazon not only pays better but also is 'guarenteed' pay. it's called 'amazon flex' which is not to be confused with any of the truck driving or actual employees. the sign up is almost identical to uber. you don't have an interview or application. you simply download an app and submit a few documetns and pictures. i'm earning $20-$40 an hour and i do this around 5 days a week for a couple hours each day. you can deliver packages or groceries and you also get paid for 'overtime' if you go over the amount of time it's 'supposed' to take you. amazon is a good company to work for. it's not the best, but amazon is above average. . 2. donating body fluids (sperm, plasma, blood, platelets, stem cells) . i did a lot of research about these things. there are different things you can donate from your body. this section focuses on things whih you can do repeadely, so organ donations are a one time thing, not a regular source of income. . you can donate blood, bone marrow, sperm, or stem cells. there is 'whole blood' which means all of your blood, or you can donate parts of your blood. plasma seems to be the best for the money. there are several companies near every major city where you can donate plasma. i have been donating plasma for the last year twice a week, but i only donate with a single company, so i don't know if other companies pay more or less. i go to https://www.cslplasma.com/ . i get average $40 each time i go, and it averages 90 minutes walking in to walking out. i can go twice a week. . here is a good website for other companies if you want to look through them. you choose your state and it gives you a list of all the companies which pay for blood. the american red cross never pays for any part of blood, so you can skip those drives and donation centers. (click on blood for money, and it reads 'plasma' but these companies do all parts of blood) . http://bloodbanker.com/banks/ . plasma is only part of blood. there is also red blood cells, and platelets altogether making up 'whole blood'. i am pretty sure you cannot donate red blood cells while you are donating plasma regularly, but you can donate platelets. you have to be between 18 and 65 for plasma, i think 25 and 44 for platelets. . as for sperm and bone marrow, they are application based. you are matched for bone marrow, for sperm you have to be accepted, and then there is no guarentee a woman will choose your sperm. sperm is 18 to 40. they want more minorities for bone marrow. half of the people who try to donate plasma get rejected for health reasons or simply small veins. you get the most money with plasma if you are between 200 and 400 pounds body weight. . i applied to be a sperm donor and i got rejected. they didn't tell me why. i got a generic rejection message. . 3. personal trainer or group fitness instructor . this is something i used to do. all it really requires is getting a 100-300 dollar certification. you can start with AFA as your first certification. it's the cheapest of all the nationally recognized certifications. there are local certifications given by specific gyms, like after i started working for la fitness i could have gotten recertified by la fitness if i wanted to, but the national certification is better and not much more expensive. i also had to be certified in basic first aid (cpr heimlich) which is also offered at the gym you work at or you can go to the red cross. still, for all of the time and work which goes into getting certified, it's a very easy job to get. some gyms want previous experience and or have an interview. the group fitness (aerobics, cycling, yoga) generally doesn't pay well. entry level is 25 dollars an hour and it's difficult to earn any more than 50 dollars an hour even if you are very good and work at the best gym in the area. you can only do so many group fitness classes a week. some people try to make a full time job out of it doing 5-10 group fitness classes a week, but it's a lot easier to deliver pizzas or work a minimum wage job. this is something you don't really get to set your own schedule. . the personal trainer is good money, but you have to be good at one to one interaction. being very muscular or very pretty or handsome will help you do well in this job. the actual job isn't as difficult as group fitness. you generally earn a lot more money as a personal trainer even though chain gyms will either pay you next to nothing, or take half of your money. i think a good entry level position for this is planetfitness. they don't allow tips and the personal training is "free", so it's included in the membership. you wouldn't get paid much but you would get paid doing personal training at planet fitness. i never worked as a personal trainer, but the certifications are pretty much identical to aerobics and group fitness. . 4. insurance agent . another job i did. the license tests are relatively difficult, and when i became an insurance agent in 2007 i had to "lie" about my employment because if you have any employment lapse you get rejected to take the test. it's easy to lie and say you have had a job every year since high school. it's not like they check. the tests are difficult but not terribly difficult. the hardest part of this job is not getting hired by an insurance company. the hardest part is selling the insurance. not many people want to buy insurance from a stranger. if you like doing sales, this is a good job to earn money. i suggest trying to sell insurance to strangers. primerica only allows you to sell insurance to people you know, but it ended up costing me a lot of friends when i tried to sell insurance to them. you can try to get hired by merryl lynch or bankers life and casualty or some other insurance agency. you will probably end up working 6 days a week for several years, but it's a non conventional job and you do have the potential to easily earn a lot of money in this profession. . 5. sports referee, coach, player . if you choose to be a referee, the referees get paid almost immediately. the coaches get paid more, but they don't get paid initially. the players actually get paid the most at the top level, but less than 1% of players ever get to the top level of their sport. i've heard it's 10 times easier to get to the top level as a referee than as a player. this is my main job currently. PIAA is a good certification to start with for most sports. i highly suggest to start with a volunteer or lesser certification if possible though. even if you have played the sport at a high level or coached before you should try to find some volunteer officiating. just because you pass the piaa test does not mean you can't get fired from the job for doing poorly. it's easy to become a referee, but difficult to stay a referee. soccer can start as early as age 14. i'm not sure the ages for the other sports. i'm only earning $2000 - $3000 a year as an entry level referee in soccer (which is the same in the other sports). this is my 3rd year. i had to pretty much volunteer for the first 2 years, and that's after i played the sport with referees as an adult for a few years. i know another referee played soccer most of his life, and then volunteered for 5 years before he started doing it for pay. another referee never played the sport but volunteered for a few years before officiating. it's a profession which takes a few years before you start making decent money, but it's an assured job. you don't really get to choose when the games are. most games are at night or on weekends, so you can do other jobs also. . as a coach you can do volunteer or 'travel' sports. in this area the coaches don't start getting paid until high school, so there is a volunteer program built into the coach progression. just find a good entry level league to start with and be a coach. . as a player you could try to do semi pro. you wouldn't be reading this page if you tried out for professional sports. semi pro is something you could try to get into if you are in your 20s. you have to be really good at the sport though. any weight issue is probably a dead end for you. if you aren't amazing at the sport i don't suggest even trying to go semi pro. . other jobs . 6. armed forces (army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, national guard, reserves) . you have to pass physical tests and have a high school diploma (not GED). you have to be relatively young (probably between 17 and 30). the physical tests are not all fitness tests. a young woman told me she got rejected from the army for not having good enough vision, even though she doesn't wear glasses. you might be able to do the non main branches at any age (coast guard, national guard, reserves) . 7. medical . a lot of people are going into this field all the way from secretaries and cleaning people to doctors, but it doesn't pay as well as it used to. it has great job security too. it seems the pay keeps going down over the years, and i talked to a chiropractor who can't find work recently. don't expect it's good job security either. it might be good job security right now to be a doctor, but you would do better in other professions. still, it's a decent job and easy to get. the schooling and tests you need to do are difficult. people say the doctor boards are the hardest test you can take, but i took an actuarial exam and it was more difficult. . 8. hunter or fisher . in america i understand some hunters get hired as contracters. you might have to relocate to an area which needs hunters. you kill animals which pose some sort of a threat to humans. you could also hunt by yourself and sell the animals. i don't know much about this, but i don't think it would be difficult to get into. i looked at gun prices and they started at about 200 dollars for handguns, closer to 1000 dollars for rifles and hunting guns. bow and arrows or crossbows are cheaper starting around 100 dollars and you can reuse the ammo if you can find the arrows or bolts. . i don't know much about fishing. you can do this on a boat or by yourself. you can fish with a line or with a net. you have to look into the equipment and laws yourself. as with hunting and fishing you probably want some experience before you try to do this to earn money. you might find yourself paying more than you are earning if you aren't good at these. . 9. security guard, police officer, bodyguard . the police officer has a fitness test and you can't have any significant criminal record. it seems like an easy profession to get if you can pass the tests and get through police academy. . security guard is generally for ex police officers or people who cannot become a police officer, or for some reason don't want to become a police officer. the security guard probably gets paid less, but it's easier to get money. you probably just have to get a certification. . a bodyguard helps if you are good with a weapon and or you are strong. i understand there is a standard minimum fee for a bodyguard. you earn more money if you carry a weapon as a bodyguard. still, it seems this is relatively easy to get paid. you just have to go through the process of getting ceritfied or licensed and probably join some kind of a middleman group for connecting bodyguards with clients. . 10. musician . the entry level musician jobs are parades and orchestras. you won't earn a lot in either unless you are really good. there are a lot of quality volunteer ways to play music and not get paid. you can perform even by yourself if you are good at almost any instrument at bars and karaoke or open mic band locations. in cities you can get a license to play an instrument on the street. obviously this pay varies and i can't see it being very good as a street musician. the best course would be township orchestras. at the bottom level you only get a couple hundred per performance for a band or orchestra. you need to be a really good musician to do even the bottom level though. . 11. substitute teacher . you can be a substitute teacher in private schools without a college degree or a substitute teacher in public schools with a college degree. you need to pass background checks and possibly have some kind of cert. still, it seems a relatively easy job to do. you only get 100-200 dollars for a day as a substitute teacher, so even though it's not high pay, it's a good side job. this is better if you have a degree in education or are a certified teacher, or have teaching experience. starting out in this job you probably will be doing terrible classes in bad schools, but it's a job. . 12. online survey taker . i've seen a lot of claims you can earn money doing a job like this, and my best suggestion is to try google's website to see what they offer, but i never had much success earning money this way. . 13. train engineer . if you live near a city this could be an easy job to get into. you might just need to stand in line metaphorically to get work after you pass the required tests. i don't know. it's worth looking into. . 14. trash picker . i have a friend who does this. you drive around and pick up things you can sell to locations which pay for things. i think my friend said copper is one of the best things to collect and sell. you can also look for toy stores or locations which pay for clothes. there are also things like wood you can collect, i'm not sure. . 15. trash collector . you probably have to be pretty fit to do this, because i see trash collectors and they are sweating heavily. i don't expect this is a difficult profession to get into. you just have to be physically fit. . 16. lawyer . it's a lot of schooling, but i understand you can be a court appointed lawyer if you are just doing it for the money and don't care about earning a lot of money in the future. basically you can be a lawyer who gets money early and doesn't have a good chance of ever earning a lot, or you can join a firm and you won't be doing cases for many years, but that gives you the chance to earn a lot of money later in life. . 17. certifications (CPA, actuary, plumbing, electric, computer, etc) . i put this on this page even though it's not an assured job. the certifications are usually inexpensive, but there is no guarentee you will get a job. you still need to go through interviews for most of these. unlike the insurance agent it's not easy to earn money from these. these are not assured jobs. . 18. bottom level jobs . jobs like fast food, checkout person at stores, and cleaning floors or restrooms are very easy to get and if you need a job this is a good place to start and get some job experience. you will probably be interviewing against teenagers, so if you have a degree it's almost an assured job. even a high school diploma should be very easy to get these jobs. just don't mess up the interview by saying something weird. dress normal, and answer the questions the way they "want" you to answer the questions during the interview. . 19. renting out a room in your house . if you have a morgage, a condo, or own property with a room, rooms, or a spare building you can rent to people on a daily basis, it is a way to make money. with just one room you can almost pay the rest of your house morgage, or if you already paid off your house you can live off of simply renting one room. it helps if the room is seperated from where you live and doesn't have much noise. someone i know rents the attic in their house and they earn about 20,000 dollars a year with less than 10 hours of work per week. they serve meals to their guests. they have a one room bed and breakfast. . 20. clinical trials . this is where you participate to take medicine and get paid to do it. i have seen perfectly healthy individuals get offers for clinical trials, and individuals with health issues. some of the most common ones are multiple sclerosis, cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, alzheimers, and mental illness are good candidates for these trials. i suggest looking on websites to find trials in your area. here is an alzheimers website for trials . endalznow.org . 21. temp agency . i don't know much about this, but there is a good chance i will be exploring this in the future. you join a temporary agency, and they place you in jobs temporarily. . endalznow.org . 22. google surveys . i have heard you can earn money doing this, possibly if you create several bank accounts and several google accounts you can earn more. paypal can be used as second bank account. also i heard you don't earn that much doing this, but every little bit helps. i think it's about 5 us dollars a week, but i could be wrong. it could be more. you take a few surveys a week and get a few dollars for it. . 23. hosting data . on a youtube video i saw they pay you if you host data on your computer. it's a lot like letting someone stay in your house and they pay rent. your computer is used anonymously to transfer data, and this probably slows down your internet a bit. still, if you need money it's probably a good idea. 'xcloud' is the company which pays you. there may be others . 24. caregiver . this is "like" a nurse taking care of elderly or disabled people in their homes, but you don't need the same education as nurses or other medical professionals who treat people in their homes. i thought caregivers did not get paid, but apparently you can get paid for this. this probably requires minimal classroom time or a certification, but it's nothing like medical professional education. i don't know how much this pays, but it's worth looking into when looking for a job. this should be easier to get than most jobs. you just have to be relatively good with people 1 on 1. . 25. car advertisements . if you have a certain type of car without any dents and you drive regularly, i understand you can put a decal on your car or a sign above and get paid every month. a friend said it was $300 a month. if you don't need your car clear of ads, and you don't mind putting an eyesore of a sign or decal on your car, this is worth looking into . Miscellaneous things . this is a video about working in america. i think it's helpful to link because NOTE TO LECK, ADD WHY I AM LINKING THIS VIDEO AFTER REWATCHING THE VIDEO. ALSO MAKE SURE THIS LINK OPENS WHEN CLICKING FROM MY MAIN WEBPAGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLZC_Iu9p4 .
