As I recall, starting wage for an NFL referee is something like $60,000 US per year.
That's a damn fine annual income.

Not exactly.
1st year officials get under 1,500USD per game.
Given a 17 week season with 1 week off, it works out to less than 24,000USD - not bad, but nothing to make a living off of.
