So what's everyone's back-up plan?

[Jerrod]

I'm interning with "Boxcar Willy". If this ATC thing doesn't work out, I can always fall back on that.

 

[FedererFan]

OCS Army Intel or Signal. also taking the LSAT in Oct.

 

[mekia]

starting nursing school 8/25. Eventually a CRNA, but that will take about 5 years in total.

Applied 4/30
AT-SAT 7/18 (I'm so scared, I finished the green book in 3 days. The test cant be that easy).

We will see.

it's not all tax-free

Yeah, but a good portion is!

 

[sub-stdrd phrsology girl]

I think at least the first $100,000 you make is tax free, that's still a nice chunk of change

 

[Crazie_Beautiful]

I have a degree in Accounting & Law. If I don't get ATC then my back up is with the DEA, IRS, FBI, or CIA. Pretty good back up though

i'm not saying it isnt a good deal, but remember youre competing with every other controller around the world. what makes you so special?

You think waiting for an ATC career takes long?? Just wait until you apply for te FBI or CIA...you will likely die before you get an INTERVIEW with them

 

[flyguy63]

I'll likely fall back on my degree and go back to school for my MBA or something in business technology.

 

[youneek28]

I'll stick with being an airline pilot and hope I get to keep my job.

Air Force OTS (meteorologist) or New York State Police.

As I was reading this thread - I swear to God this is true - I received a call for one of my "backup plan" jobs... the only available interview time fell right into the time slot that I'll be driving to the hotel in OKC tomorrow to take my AT-SAT.

Is this irony at it's best, or a message from the great beyond? :banghead:
