But it's true that generally, over 35 or 40 is very unlikely to get started.

Juulie,
I was talking in general. Even with that being said, a young female official in her 20s is going to have a completely different opportunity than someone in their 40s (on the women's side). There are college conferences that might offer opportunities to female officials in their 20s without going to camp yet. On the Men's side, not too many people are getting offered anything without going to camp in my experience. Usually you have to prove you are even worthy to get an opportunity. I also know many female officials that are not getting asked to work any college because they are older (or it seems that way).
Peace
