I've had several veteran officials (most of these guys are tired of the politics involved in HS assignments) adamently tell me that they would rather take 4 $20 rec league games that are near their house, that they can show up 10 minutes before tip and leave immediately after than to take 1 HS $54-58 varsity game that by the time you add travel and pregame to it's pretty much same time involved. They are "attempting" to influence me to follow just the same as if they can keep the local association from the newer (me in my 4th year) refs from working HS. Their thought is that if there is such a shortage, then scale will be forced to raise.
I agree with the post that I prefer the quality over the $ and I want to move up eventually as high in the college ranks as possible.
