I don't know how it works now but I had to wear a full uniform and pass some test to umpire back in the day. 

I can't stand little league umpires and umpires who go out there with their hat on backwards in shorts and a t shirt. It makes the whole profession and those of us that do take umpiring seriously look bad.

Haha that's awesome. My first job at 15 was umpiring little league. Obviously not the same as rep or college ball but it was a fun job. All the parents used to yell at me. It was great.

Does anyone do something hands-on / physical for a living?
