My Thoughts
Our2Kids...I think you hit the nail on the head... officiating is a "hobby" or avocation and your regular job is your vocation. Your priority needs to be the vocational career that supports your family.
I changed jobs 2 years ago and the topic of officiating in my opinion is irrelevant and did not come up during the interview process. Most people do not understand what it is we do. I believe that as long as you turn in a solid performance and are able to wash the all the early releases and days off through personal/vacation time that is your choice.
Once you get the job, then by all means, be honest and even volunteer what you love to do. But, I would be wary about bringing it up during an interview... you never know what the perception might be with the hiring manager.
