Looking to expand my contract income opportunities
I'm an audio engineer looking to pick up other contract-based work. I'm looking for something that would not require additional college classes, as I am still paying off my current student loans. I was considering an independent insurance adjuster, but I am open to similar fields that have minimal barriers to entry-level positions. $500 for a license is okay, $10,000 for one year tuition not so much.

Hi Bryan
Are you looking for only audio-engineering related opportunities?

Hi Bryan
I am a journalist and a wellness coach, which I studied to gain an extra income, as you're trying to achieve.
I found Udemy, Coursera and Edex to be great free online ways to gain skills that can become secondary ways to gain extra income.
There are also many website where you can find part-time remote jobs, such as Workana, Remote.co, Working Nomads, Contena, JournalismJobs.com, Mediabistro, Contently.
Have successful hunting!

You might consider becoming a state licensed real estate Agent, working as a 1099 for a Broker. In this role, depending on the Broker commission structure you could earn up to 99% of the 3% commission fee associated with either Listing or Selling a property. My deal in Houston for example allows me to keep 100% of the 3% commission and then I pay the Broker $125 to approve/action the transaction. I pay the Broker $120 a year ($10) a month to be on the team. Sell or List a couple homes a year and you're making an extra $20K to $35K. Nice gig!
Happy selling....

Hey, Brian! I'm originally from Pittsburgh too! Are you trying to get more gigs as an audio engineer or looking to pick up a side-career?
