What is your daytime job?

[Rev.Ref63]

I am a pastor, which gives me tremendous flexibility. My church people are very supportive and understanding of this avenue for supplemental income.

not that I'll ever make it to that level, but if I did earn a regular college schedule it would be a very hard juggle with work. I'm a federal employee who works a regular 8-5. And just by cooincidence my boss's boss used to officiate and gave it up for his federal career. He was no longer officiating by the time I met him but he was doing state play-off games and was a top-5 camper at the ACC camp back in the mid-90's. But he gave up officiating cold turkey and has no regrets.

But just as difficult would be coordinating the schedule I have with my kids. I have a teen-ager who lives with me full-time except for every other weekend and I have 9-year old who is with my 6 out of every 14 days.

Another computer geek here.

I work a 4X10 schedule and I telecommute one day so I only go into work 3 days per week. I can flex my schedule to start as early as I want (and therefore leave as early as I want) on the days that I do go in to the office.

I am lucky because my manager is a dream to work for and knows how much I love to ref. I work a little extra during the summer months and I get lots of leeway between November and March.

Come on guys, Padgett has been retired for a long time now, but back in his younger days he served as a trail guide in the Pacific Northwest.

Housewife here. It may sound like it would be easy to juggle the schedule, but it's been surprising how troublesome it can be, especially with little kids.

At the point where I might have started into the college routine, my youngest was very ill, in and out of the hospital, and I knew for sure I couldn't commit to the kind of availability a college (even JUCO) assignor would want. That was a very difficult decision for me to make, but I haven't been sorry. Kid definitely more important than long drives in the rain and snow to earn $100 bucks getting shrieked at, and the the long drive home. I didn't know if I was good enough to move much above that, and just wasn't willing to risk my family relationships.

I was right to make that decision, kid needed lots and lots of attention for a couple or three years. He's doing better now, since we have finally found a drug that has stabilized his condition without a lot of bad side effects. But we still never know when the effectiveness of the drug will wear off, and we'll be back to swelling, drug reactions, vomiting and dashes to the emergency room.

I will never be able to do college, which in some ways is a good excuse, since I really wasn't sure they'd ever want me!

Actually, I go back a lot farther than that. I was the trail guide through the Red Sea. I helped that young whipper-snapper, Moses, find his way but he took all the credit.

That's me, carrying the scoop behind the camels.

I'm a youth pastor...which gives me a lot of flexability. I know students and most of the high schools I officiate in...it is useful for me to get to know the administrators of schools. I just hope I do a good job so it's not a BAD impression! My church people are also very supportive.

Sorry........posted this inside the thread instead of making a new post.


I am a business owner. In fact, I own two businesses. This allows me to do a doubleheader at noon and a doubleheader at night during softball season. It also allows me to do 5-6 nights a week of basketball.
