The peril of officiating

[TussAgee11]

Well unfortunatly I have not reached that level in my career yet. One day I hope to work Varsity ball, no plans for NCAA or pro ball yet. I want to get out of the "parents realm" one day, but at age 20, I don't see much hope of that happening, at least at my stage, for at least another 5-10 years. I want to move up, but am too young to do so. And I don't blame assignors; what assignor is going to assign a 20 year old to do 17-18 year old games, if not higher? I've done one adult game in my life that I worked the plate with no problems. I have yet to be observed, critiqued, or evaluated at any level of ball I do. The system is seemingly failing me because of my age, but I guess that comes with the politics.

Any thoughts on what I could do? I'm sure that there are others (LL Dan aside) that "feel my pain."
