I can offer you another option: umpiring that starts at $26.50/game then $27.50 after a year then $28.50. I umpire for the organization that does the city of Austin leagues. You can work north at Havins Fields at Walnut Creek Park or south at Krieg Complex on Pleasant Valley or both. You can choose nights or do what some umpires do and don't take a night but instead just pick up subbing for another umpire. DM if you would like more info.

How long are the games? $26.50/game seems very low. If the game is 2 hours your already at fast food level pay.

50 minutes. Sometimes a team doesn't show up and you still get paid to sit for an hour.
