Wish my son's would take it up in any of the sports they played. Just don't seem interested. Oh well......

I'm sure this is said in all chapters, associations, etc., but I hear a lot of the elder officials telling me "I wish I started when I was your age" and telling me I got potential to make it to the college level. I hope to be a D-I official some day and maybe do some Pro-am games when I'm in my late 30s or 40s. I'm glad I started when I did

Similar here. Started when I was 18, and I'm currently in my fourth year of officiating. Can't imagine myself NOT doing this for quite some time.

I enjoy it so much. I tell people I make like $50+ for a JV game that can last anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 on a normal day, and they get so jealous. But then they say "well, I couldn't handle the yelling from coaches and fans, I don't know how you or anyone could". Honestly, I didn't know how i would be able to handle it when i started, but I'm sure we all can say that you just get used to it. They don't know the rules like we do
