Looking for a new career that pays 150k+? GTFIH (HIRING!!)

Huh, I've heard otherwise from a friend that works at Boeing now after changing her mind about it.

Not knocking it at all, and hopefully some ppl here can get in. But idk if it's as easy/light as you're saying.

I mean..... I do the career lol so I'd say not everyone is cut out for it sure, but generally the stress part can be over exaggerated

What’s the location? I’m highly considering this

ATC facilities are all over the nation.. as small as your local airport down the road, and as big as LAX or a center in a suburb that talks to planes high in the air.

Do they do random drug tests??

They do. And randomly alcohol test as well

My uncle was a air traffic controller, back in 2009 me and my cousin went to ATL to test for the job. I failed and he passed, he was recruited and shipped to Iowa back in 2010. and was transferred to Baltimore at the beginning of the year. Glad I failed, I couldn't imagine doing that shyt for a living,

I'm 31. I'm applying for this anyway. Wonder if they do waivers

Nah this ain't the military, you can sort of choose your location now from a list after you graduate from the FAA academy.

As far as transferring, YOU are the one who puts in a request to ERR. Or I suppose if you don't pass training then you could potentially have a list of other facilities and places that you could choose from as a "2nd chance"

Then no that wasn't the FAA. The academy is located in Oklahoma City. Has been for a long time now, they used to have a couple programs back in the day (90s) where you could go through it and straight to a facility, but not anymore.

You also need to be UNDER 31 YEARS OLD.

Good luck to the rest of y'all tho

My pops was BEGGING me to pursue this when I came outta highschool. They had a ton of retirements/openings at the time. I didn't trust that my math skills were up to par, shyt sounded like you needed to be a savant. In retrospect I would've at least tried

This is a common thinking. That you gotta be super book smart.. and sure it def could help, but I've seen plenty of people who were SO smart, knew all about aviation and planes and rules. But when it came down to actually doing it, they would have a hard time applying all this info that they knew.

Meanwhile I've seen so many times a guy who's previous job was a warehouse, or a hell even fast food spot, where they could do the job quickly and accurately and didn't have nearly as many problems.

This is one of those careers where you can never tell how someone will do till they try.
