The worst professional job in the world

I was at a Super15 rugby union match recently (go the Reds) and decided that referrees have the worst professional job.

Here's my rationale. If a referee has a really good day at the office, at best, only 50% of their stakeholders (players, fans etc) will think they've done a good job. If they have a bad day at the office, not only will 100% of their stakeholders think they've done a lousy job, but the media will also publically berate them.

Referees universally display the one characteristic critical for career success: resilience. To all the referees out there - I applaud you. (But alas I'm human, so I'll applaud louder if my team wins).
