I will not be attending either umpiring school anytime soon if I go at all. I am now 27, will be 28 at the end of this month, and have a family now.
Both my wife and I have discussed thhis issue time and time again, and we just feel that it would be too much for my wife to raise two children by herself for six to eight months out of the year, if I got a job in the minors.
I am satisfied completely with being a good young high school and college baseball umpire. I can still work towards some dreams and goals that I have set for myself at the high school and college levels.
At age 19, I think you are in a good spot. You are young, with lots of years of service ahead of you if you get a job in pro baseball, and that is what they are looking for when you attend one of the umpire schools.
