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!
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!  |
yes to all of that. I've actually found more solace and assurance here than with my friends/family and in some weird way find my contacts/acquaintances from this site and stuckmic to be better friends than the people I've known for years.
As a fellow applicant, and as an administrator for stuckmic I've had the privilege of meeting a few individuals from both sites in person in the last year or so and the comradery i've found has been really satisfying.. everyone's in the same boat in one way or another, and through these sites it's my belief that we're going to have better connections and an easier transition into the industry than if we were going it alone.
