I used to work for HackHands where you could get assigned to help people out with programming problems in real time and get paid.

It was mostly fun but also a bit sketchy. Frequently I'd wind up helping students with their CS homework which is questionable but usually pleasant work.

Occasionally I'd run into a "hard case" such as the person who wanted me to make changes to the production SQL Server database where it wasn't clear to me that he had permission to make the changes and I didn't want to be responsible for messing the system up. (Which would have been a risk no matter what but I hadn't admined a SQL server database in years at that point.)
