I agree with some of what you're saying. Officiating could be better.
But suppose you're located in Mount P, and are assigned 2 youth games in Summerville. You work approximately 2.5 hours, plus about 1:15 total round trip driving. That's 3:45 of actual time for 48 bucks. That's less than $13/hour, or about 27K/year.
You make more on tips at a carwash.
