You have to have graduated Cum Laude from the "School of thickis skinnis and common sensus." Most of us majored in a degree called "fan ignorus."

Give a percent on how many refs have another "primary" job?

Of all the ones I know, 100%. Everyone I know does it for the love of the game and to give back to the game. Other than NBA refs, I don't know any that do it for a living. It would be hard to survive on officiating alone unless you wanted to "live in a van down by the river."
