What kind of training would I need to be an air traffic controller?
Asked by daphnerst
I was just curious what the qualification and training involved is for air traffic controllers. I always thought it would be an awesome job. I do have a Bachelor's Degree and I'm working on Master's right now and will finish in May of '08. I know it's a stressful job, I was just wondering what training is needed. How could I find more information on this profession?

Best Answer:
My old high school friend had a degree in air traffic control and never found a job. They hire retired Air Force or other people who have experience. His FIL was a air traffic controller so thought it was a good idea. I would suggest joining the service to get the experience after getting your degree the do on the job training commercial airports can't do.
