I might be tooting my own horn, but the military is an excellent way to get the training you are looking for. The starting pay isn't great, but the reenlistment bonuses are very good (at least last time I looked) and the GI bill is worth about 39K for a $1,200 investment. I am working on my Master's degree now and so far, I haven't paid a DIME! Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but they have treated me well considering. Just a thought if you REALLY want to be an ATC guy...and don't let the recruiter tell you otherwise, the DO have guaranteed jobs!
