You are at somewhat of a disadvantage if your FED games will start at 4:00. An employer can only be so understanding and leaving your workplace at 2:00 in the afternoon, 2-3 times per week may be asking too much.
If you new career also includes wanting to umpire a regular FED schedule, then your employer or career choice must have the availability of time built in. If not, your going to have to change something.
NCAA Division 1 baseball: are you familiar with the travel involved in this endeavor as well as the start times of these games? Most of the Mon.-Thu. games begin early in the afternoon.
IMHO, umpiring is a hobby that I enjoy immensely. My FED games do not begin until 5:00, usually 7:00, so my regular work schedule is not an issue. In most associations, you set your own schedule as far as when you are available and most assignors will work within your time constraints.
Best of luck in your new career!
