FAA Job Opportunities:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is taking applications for air traffic controller school. Candidates should be between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma. With some effort, selected candidates could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years. You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam.

Interested candidates are strongly advised to apply as soon as possible, even if they aren't sure if they want to attend immediately. This is a federal position and the selection process may take months. The key is to apply NOW... Much of the workforce is at retirement age and the FAA will want to line up training to accommodate potential openings. It's my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.

This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower.
