Your Time Will Come!
Chris23:
As Mick indicated, most of us can empathize with you on your dilemma, in fact, a lot of us were in similar situations ourselves.
Time is on your side, although the last thing a young person wants to hear about is the time element.
Your key to getting to call your preferred level is to make sure your assignor knows your preference. His concern is coverage, and if you seem willing to do anything he needs, you will end up filling the difficult to fill spots.
Unless you're a natural, the easiest way to get involved with a certain level of play is to "earn" your way in. My favorite assignments come as a result of helping with some of the unpopular picks, however, leaving no doubt as to what level I really want to work.
You may be making the assignor's job easy for him, but you should also be earning his respect and consideration for your wishes. Unless you make your wishes known, you may languish in the "fill-in" category in his plans.
