At my level I certainly need another form of income, but if NFL guys are making $8,150, I don't know that I'd necessarily need another job. I'm think 130k a year for "16 days" worth of work is a nice deal. I do put the 16 days in " " because I realize at the NFL level those guys have a bunch of other things that are part of the job (meetings, scouting, staying in tip-top shape, etc), but still its not a bad living. They may have more pressure to make sure they make the right calls, but unlike most of us HS officials there are many things they don't have to worry about (nutjob coachs, wrong ball plays, poor timekeepers, crappy field conditions unless you're reffing a Steelers home game, etc.).
