I am not a member, so I can not view the article. I am guessing that the Author is equating getting paid with being better. Kinda crazy if you ask me.
My wife and I earn alot of money umpiring, we also donate alot of time to local organizations with clinics and "Volunteer" assignments to a league or team can raise some money for uniforms, trips ect. Further, there are alot of "Volunteer only" umpires we will work with BEFORE some "Pay Me Regardless" umpires.
It doesn't matter to us if it is a NCAA assignment or a 10-U volunteer assignment, we approach the game the same way with the same attitudes.
If you are working hard and volunteering your time, then good for you. The players in your area are lucky to have someone that is willing to do the things you do. Keep up the good work and don't let others get you down.
