Usually the higher the level, the more you get paid. I would rather get the most money for the same time if I am going to leave my house and officiate anything.

Also I never buy the "varsity is more hassle than a middle school game" argument. A lot of times the lower the level the more hassle it is because the folks have little perceptive or talent to make the experience enjoyable.

We all make choices in life. If you want to work down or strive to work up that is really a personal decision. I just do not think it makes life easier either way.
