Next year I hope to have my certification for FHSAA so that I may call high school games but I am hoping to hear from the vast knowledge and experience of the members of this forum on what the best route may be for me to take in the venture.
I look forward to your replies

Brian, get the test from FHSAA, take it, join a local association. Now, a career in high school baseball, no way. Unless you are married to a wealthy and healthy wife. Healthy because she needs to live long to keep you up.
Not many folks do this for a career, just the advocation.
You need about 700.00 to start before calling your first game.
