Do you think it is better for an officials to work his way up the ladder (D3-D2-D1) or just get thrown into the fire at a level they can't handle (I understand that you aren't going to turn down a higher level if offered to you)...then they get fired in 3 years. There are a lot of educational experiences along the road that make you a better officials, you can learn those at the D3 and D2 levels.
