neema, you should probably pull your head out of your ass and be realistic. YOU arent going to tell the faa where YOU are going to work. if youre serious about being a controller be prepared to move where the faa needs you. realistically the military is the best avenue for you to become a controller...go talk to a recruiter. i wouldnt expect to go right in as the air force as a controller, a lot of times you can go in via a delayed entry program...IF you can make it through their training program and get facility rated youll at least come out with some experience (and youll be getting paid) and you can go contract if the faa isnt hiring when you get out. with a cti degree, youll pay them to train you just so you can get out of taking a 1 month basics course. either way, be realistic, youre not going to a level 12 facility right out of the gate...at best youll end up at a level 8 facility.
