Most of the NFL officials are high movers- attorneys, self-employed businessmen, top sales reps. The same drive that makes them successful in their vocation makes them successful at the highest level of their avocation.
They have the ability to do their job AND study rules, take tests, watch video, and travel the country 16+ weeks a year.
I doubt there are many of them that punch a clock or have the type job where the boss says "Nope, I need you this Sunday in the shop."
