But that being said it is not the best way to go for the long term for sure.

Peace

yep, and no one is supposed to make a career out of McDonald's unless he or she is moving into management.

Very true, but not all jobs, even the so-called good ones pay benefits or give a great salary.

A lot of officials use officiating as a bridge for other things like for another job, going to school and paying for college for their kids or even travel.

All of those things I have personally seen people used and even in different periods of time I have done the same.

Now it is harder to do when you are only doing one sport, but if you do 3 like I did, you can make a little bit of money.

Lacrosse, baseball and even youth sports can add a lot to your income if you do not pass out first.

My kids will be going to college someday from my referee earnings. Put all of my profit into 529 plans for my kids. Every year.
