Ive been lookin into this for a while, and i'm thinkin about taking the test so i can get into training... does anyone have experience or know anyone who's done this? And how do you/they like it?
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/ My wife's a pilot and knows a few at the smaller airports. Most people like it, though it can be stressful and you're dealing with the unpredictability of people in potentially dangerous situations. Not for the weak of heart and you need to be able to handle immediate stress very well... a lot of the training is designed to teach you how to recognize and deal with stress while you remain calm in a crisis. Lots of challenges in the near future and lots of demand for the skills... http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/01/10/air.traffic.controllers/index.html?iref=newssearch And decent money... Good luck.
