What kind of vehicle inspections? Is he a mechanic or are these inspections something most people could easily be doing after a 2 day course?
He's now a mechanic, but ~~that~~ becoming an inspector was his entry to car work. Do you get your car inspected every year or two? It's that - windshield wipers, horn, tires, drive it and see if it brakes in the allotted space, plug it into the smog check machine. If you can tolerate working outdoors (in an open garage) and you're ok working with your hands it's not a bad gig. I think he started at $12/hr plus a dollar for each inspection he did, plus a little commission if someone bought windshield wipers, a new gas cap, stuff like that. Here, the people who work M-F fight to be off Saturday/Sunday, so they're always looking for weekend help. I think the two day class was about $50 and the license to be an inspector is $25/yr.
Edit for grammar/clarification.
