I got put onto a varsity crew at the start of my second year, due to a combination of a shortage of varsity-caliber officials, getting noticed by a couple of white-hats while working JV games, and working my arse off learning the rulebook and working on my mechanics.
I have no idea if my experience is typical or not. I know there are some guys in my association who've been working for years who aren't on varsity crews. Some by choice (a guy on my crew last year took this year off from varsity work so he could watch his son play varsity ball... totally understandable), and some for other reasons.
