This really depends on the area you live and the need for college officials and the other officials that have similar experiences. For the most part college officiating is a young man's game when you are trying to break in. I will never say that you have no chance, but it is probably unlikely because an assignor is looking for officials that have a long term self-life as an official.

I would think you should talk to officials in your area and see what is typical. I would think if you can officiate, you can officiate, but age does matter. Not because you cannot work, but because they want people they can use for the long term. And younger people tend to not have the same obligations to prevent them from travel or children that someone older might have to prevent them from leaving on a weekend.
