I've made thousands of dollars writing trivia questions as a side gig. It helps me pay my rent and makes socializing so much easier.

• Noah Sheidlower has made thousands writing and editing trivia questions for school competitions. 
• His side gig has helped him improve as a reporter and connect with people from varying backgrounds.
• It's also made socializing easier, as he's able to chime in on topics others are passionate about.

A few weeks ago, I was at bar trivia struggling through a music round when one of my friends asked the table: "Who actually writes these questions?"

"Me!" I shouted, followed by, "sort of."
