There are four referees in an official FIFA world cup game. There is the main referee on the field with the players. There are the two linesmen (or assistant referees). Then there is the fourth refereee, who keeps track of time, substitutions and so on.
They earn between $25k and $70k per NFL season. Since they are considered to be part-time employees, this isn't too bad. As a reference: NBA/MLB referees will earn from $100k to $300k per season, thanks to their much fuller schedule.

Most NFL referees do in fact have other jobs, ranging from dairy farmer to teacher to attorney to entrepreneur/inventor. The NFL is the only major sports league in the US that does not hire referees on a full time basis and, contrary to what most people seem to believe, the pay is not amazing ($25.000-$70/000/year. Baseball refs start at $120k and top out at $300k+, plus per diem on road trip plus benefits. Basketball refs range from $100-300k plus benefits. NHL refs make $72-255k).
