I haven't heard much about it, but my dad says it's all over the news that the FAA is hurting for controllers and that they're hiring people straight out of HS (I find that part hard to believe).
He thinks I should postpone my flight training and my plan to fly for the airlines and become a controller for a while - I'm a PPL with about 270 hrs and starting on my instrument/commercial and was planning to start flight instructing this winter/spring.
I just graduated from Kennesaw State U. here in Ga. with a degree in Communication and I've been a cashier at a small drug store throughout my college career, so I don't exactly have the work experience they're looking for.
I've read that the two training facilities only accept students that have graduated from one of the 14 colleges selected by the FAA? So how would I go about getting into ATC? Thanks in advance.
