I worked as an official for the intramural sports department at the University of Minnesota. The top two basketball refs in the department got the priviledge of officiating some charity events at the Target Center for the NBA All-Star weekend when it was in Minnesota.
I would have loved to work as on official or sports writer, but both seemed like careers like acting where it's a longshot to make it to the big-time--even if you are very good. I took the security of programming instead. Wish I would have went for it now. As one of the top two football referees in the department, I actually had the opportunity to go to an NFL official's camp in Louisiana, but I left school before the camp took place.
