I think this is the reality for many. If I work that much I have nothing else to do. I paid my dues to work every night, which I did for years. Those years are over primarily because someone else needs to work. I also observe official, evaluate, teach at meetings and also a state clinician who can be asked about many situations in games. I do not even have kids now but I have other obligations and officiating is not always the first thing I have to do.
