>>15072335get a job babysitting a weather observing system at an airport. the system does almost all of the work, but still fucks up, dies, and has some elements that it cannot observe well. Observers work one per shift so you don't have anyone else in the office. On most days, you do about 3 minutes of "work" every hour.
No degree, but you have to pass the exam to become certified. The handbook is the FAA JO 7900.5E, which you can find in pdf online. There are various study aids that the NWS puts out as well.
Pay is $30-35/hr depending on location. All sites are always looking for parttimers, and there are about 120 locations in the US at various airports.
I've been doing it for 25 years
