Hello,
I'm a newbie, and I have a question. I've received a tentative offer letter for MDW and I'm really looking forward to beginning a career as an air traffic controller. However, as 24 yr old, single female, I'm wondering how hard it is to start a family while living this hectic life.
I've heard the male perspective, and in my opinion, I think it's a bit easier for a man because obviously he doesn't have to take months off at a time, not to mention dealing with the stresses of being pregnant.
So, I want to get a female perspective, but have yet to find it. Are there any female controllers who started families while in this career? I don't want to think that by choosing ATC, I'm putting my dreams of a family on hold. Are there any places on the web that deal with this in some way?
