Careers

A friend of mine (lazyass friend), yes the one that went to bartending school, at one point was wanting to change careers...we all know that he was just bsing but he was set on becoming an airtraffic controller...well maybe not as high up as that...but they must still be called air traffic controllers...he basically wanted to be one of those guys at the airport that wave the glowy lights at the plane to direct them to the gate. Who knew he was on to something...look at their average salary...not so bad huh?

These skilled workers come from a range of fields; some have flying or military experience, while others work directly out of school. Education is required for most air traffic controllers, who need to have work or college experience before enrolling in a dedicated controller training program.
