Ok, so I was dead set on being a pilot, but with the economy and the industry going to ####, I don't want to invest the rest of my savings into something that may not work out for me in the end.
Anyway, I still have about 2 years of college to finish and I only obtained my PPL, which I would have done regardless of occupation choice. I also got my A&P while in the Air Force.
Now, I am thinking of switching from Embry-Riddle to Middle GA College into their ATC program.
Good idea or bad? It would be a hour drive each way for me everyday to go to school, but there is not many choices here.
I have been looking around all over the net and there is not nearly as much info for ATC as there is pilots.
My fiance was in ATC while in the Air Force and she got washed out getting her last rating. She had a ton of life problems at the time so I think she would have made it if there was not so much going on at home.
Now, I am thinking of giving it a shot, but I don't know if it's for me. I love Aviation, as shown by my A&P and PPL. I just don't have a good idea how the training is in the civilian world or if ATC is for me.
Is it even worth it to get the college degree in ATC management?
I am 26, I have enough time right?
How easy or difficult is it to get a job?
After you get the job how hard is it to keep?
Is it worth it for me or should I try to get into a different career?
Sorry for all the questions. I looked everywhere...
