I agree with JJ: finish college. While its one thing to take a semester off and go to a pro school, you need to be prepared to finish school whatever you do.

I started officiating basketball at 21, then stopped about 27, finding other things to do with my time. I'm back several years later, and have added football, but you don't want to get in a situation where you are 30, are either tired of umpiring or its clear you won't be in the bigs, no college degree, married, and needing something to support you.

Are you taking all the summer/mini-mester classes you can to finish school as early as possible? Consider that first. There will always be umpiring school, and I seriously doubt one or two years will make that much of a difference.
