Question Number: 17347Other 10/16/2007RE: grade 2 College Stephen of cork, ireland asks...how long does it take to become a professional referee and how much do they get paid?. thanks Answer provided by Referee Steve Montanino Stephen,
That depends on the country you live in. Every locale is different in this regard and so is the payment. You might like to inquire with your local Referee's association to see if they can answer this question for you.
In the United States - you could become a top professional referee in as few as 10 years but for most people it takes more like 15 years, assuming they have the required talent to get there.
