If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high schooldiploma, 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.

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.
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. I hope you pass this information on to
family & friends.
