And that is your opinion. Happy to know you have one.

I have never worked at Office Depot before. I am not sure what they make. But I do not know many people that work at jobs like that and can make 200+ over a weekend and not be away from the house 9 or 10 hours after taxes. I know if I wanted to, I could make about $1000 a week if I took enough games. It might be hard, but it has been done. I know many successful people that officiate games they might never work, to help fun their children to some very good and expensive schools. I am not suggesting that all the money earned can fun the entire college bill, but it might fun extra things they want to do for their children and might pay expenses so they can come home more or go see them more often as well. I know many officials that claim the money they make officiating put their kids thru school.
