Times are tough

With so many people losing their jobs or need a second job to survive, are taking odd jobs of all sorts.I personally have been a soccer referee for about three years now. At first there were sufficient amount of games due to the number of registered or non registered referee's. Now the number of games assigned have reduced due to the increase  in the number of referees. The level of need to constantly improve and move up in ranks is more apparent. People are doing more to hold on to their jobs.
