5 Ideal Jobs for Retirees

[JRutledge]

I think the article just glosses over what it takes to be an official. As usual they act like anyone can just roll off the street and do what we do. If someone is retired and wants to officiate and never done it before, that might be a hard transition at that point of your life. It is hard for people that come later in life when they are in their 40s and 50s when their kids have finally left for college or their house for good, let alone what it would be for a retired person at a much older age. None of us should really be surprised, most people think anyone can do what we do. And they equate coaching with what we do too, which has nothing to do with our jobs either.
