You can have a second job like that. Be a D1 level ref. We see a snippet of the abuse these guys take, not to mention the physical exertion and the pressure of the fans and coaches and players questioning all the calls.
Don't forget that is gross. They pay 100% of their expenses.
I remember one coach who yelled at me and my partner for every call we made. I finally said, "Did I not get at least a few right?" He responded, "Sure, but I just like to yell."
