HEY!

Yes and no.  ATC is a demanding and rewarding career, and an interesting job, but the FAA is a difficult and troubled agency from a labor relations point of view.

More than that, most ATC facilities are open 24X7. That means controllers work a lot of evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays throughout their career- and their social lives and family life suffers.

But the pay is quite good and early retirement is an option (in fact, you're forced out at age 56, so it's less of an "option" than in many jobs). If you handle stress well and enjoy hard mental work, it's a great job

Wish you Luck!
