I took french class with Jamie back in high school. He is a great guy, and works incredibly hard. I loved working in groups with him; his french was much better than mine.
It could potentially be rewarding (both monetarily and intellectually) for him to be able to find things he's interested in on Mechanical Turk or Fiverr.
Perhaps he could also start a blog to talk about the things he's interested in. The more publicity he gets, the more likely it is that he would be "found" by someone who has a niche that he would fit into.
