I agree with the previous posts, and want to add a couple of points. In college, most officials already look good and know the rules, for the most part. That's what gets them hired in the camps. What keeps them on staff is how they deal with people. Not just players and coaches, but the supervisors/assigners as well. Also, how will college ball fit into your personal life? In most cases, the travel is farther than your HS games - can you get off work earlier to get to these games? Are you married or have kids? Can they handle you being gone longer in the evenings? Finally, if you get that far, many D-2 and D-1 assigners will require you to give up lower levels altogether. Are you willing to make that commitment? Only you know the answers, but if you feel you can do it, it can be rewarding. Good luck!
