There aren’t too many (if any) full-time positions in the world today that pay as high as $70k a year and require little to no education. There is on the other hand one part-time position that does have that earning potential and it doesn’t require you to do anything illegal either. You might want to pick up a whistle because that is currently the going salary for an NFL referee.

That’s right. Think you can handle a taxing four hours for 16 Sundays every fall and winter? Perhaps you’d like to travel the country and have a pass to be right in the middle of all the action. If so a part- time career might be waiting for you. Of course nothing that good could come so easily. First you’re gonna have to earn some stripes.

Now, if you are one the lucky few, you’re going to want to be smart with all this extra money coming in. Refereeing is a contractual gig and there is always the chance that you could not be picked up next season. Referees are also reviewed after every game, so if you’re one of the good ones, you can get a chance to work the playoffs - and if you’re really tops - you may even find yourself working the Super Bowl; all with added bonuses of course.
