I know officials that could not work other levels because of the professionalism they displayed when someone of significant saw them. At a JH or Middle school game, someone's kids are playing and if the right person's kids are playing or grandchildren, they might not give you a shot if they think you are not professional.
Just because everyone else does it is not a good excuse IMO. They better give me a room somewhere or I am not working. This is a choice.
