My Choices

With thinking what I want to do with my life, my career choices have always been narrowed down to:

1) Law Enforcement
2) College Professor
3) Pastor

I joined the military at 18 and retired when I was 41. The first and only job I applied for is my current civil service job. The person who hired me was a former HS basketball official.

I know multiple officials that are very successful that have been all in all those professions.

I personally think that this should be your primary goal - to be the best at whichever one of these you pursue. If you pursue officiating over these, then you will have a lot of personal demons in your 40's and 50's that you
will be fighting on a daily basis.


I say this on a personal note. I missed my sisters wedding to work a DI exhibition ???? What the hell was I thinking. Not that you would make the same mistake, but when you make officiating a priority, then this stupid stuff
occurs.
