New Heights in Job Opportunities
Someone asked me to pass this along, so I’m making like a Manning and making the pass.
If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma, The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the right age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years! You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam. They need to go to http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/for details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don’t know if they’d want to attend immediately - it’s the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW.
There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It’s my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted. The person who shared this has a 28 year old daughter who is well into 6 figures and has plenty of time for travel/recreation and has started another career on the side. This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program, after which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower.
A salary over $100,000…. holy moly!

That $100,000 is “salary and benefits”. To get that much money you have to be fully rated at the busiest of facilities. That will take a couple of years, and more than a little luck. You will be assigned to place where you may not want to live, such as the expensive Long Island NY area, or coastal California. While in training you will be making barely $37,000 in salary. You will be working shift work. You will be working weekends.
