Hey guys,
I definitely know what you all are going through. I've been waiting since last May after graduating CTI for something to happen and it does get frustrating and somewhat depressing. One of the worst parts is constantly being asked, "When are you going to OK?" for which I never have a solid answer. I do feel like I'm really counting on this job and for me to actually like it and do well at it, two things I'm not even sure about. I've taken tours of towers and such, but who can really know if they'll like it without having done it before? And coworkers play a big role. Is it pretty much the consensus that almost all controllers are cocky egomaniacs? If so I'm afraid I won't fit into that. Hopefully that's just a rumor. Either way, here's to hoping I can find a temp job and pay the bills til the winter!
In the meantime I'm hoping to dip my foot into an area dealing with childhood obesity because I absolutely abhor seeing it around me. So if this doesn't pan out, maybe I can help a lot of kids nip a potentially dangerous problem in the bud. We'll see.
These forums have really helped though, before I knew they existed I swear I was the only person in this situation just waiting and waiting. Thank you all for being on here and knowing (sadly) what it's like when even your close friends don't really understand it. Hang in there and maybe, just maybe, we'll have the job of our dreams. Hey, I gotta stay positive somehow!
