Try recruiting some students. Officiating is a great part-time job, and the oppertunities available to a younger official are endless. The earlier you start, the more time you'll have to advance. That's a huge selling point.

I know I'd much rather be officiating then flipping burgers at McDonalds or serving coffee at Tim Horton's
The disadvantage is that there is only so much football to do in Ontario. I'm not sure about other areas.

I make only about $2,500 a year doing football. I recommend an off-season job for students.

For some students, who don't yet officiate the higher level ball, and therefore have a shorter season than other, finding a job as a student-manager is valuable experience. I cherish the work I did as a teenager managing other students. It wasn't a huge job, but it looks geat on the resume.
