Of course there is risk that you will "screw up" and lose your job as an official. But, the same goes if you worked for a Fortune 500 company. Heck, there are posts on here about Larry Rose and his mistake in the NC State game (I didn't see game.. just read the forum)... he even got reprimanded by Barakat. I'LL BET THOUGH... he is working a full schedule next year, in the ACC, for Barakat. RIGHT.
There is always risk.. but, I would say a mistake in a major game is not the "END" of a career. Just a side track.
I'm betting there is a big difference between a 20 year veteran whose done the last bazillion conference championship games screwing up and a first, second, or third year "rookie" making the same mistake (whatever the error may be).
