Many people I work with (including myself) sort of fell into ATC. This is one of the last jobs I would ever have guessed I would do. Don't let the Notre Dame comment bother you...

Here's my $.02 ... with the FAA now paying per diem for time spent in OKC it's worth a shot, you won't go in debt trying something you might not like. The only way to know if you would like the job is to try it, if you don't like it you quit. I have worked with many people that after a few months said you know what... this is not for me. No shame in that.

With the elections coming there is a good chance of change on the horizon for the FAA... I won't say it can't get worse but odds are it is going to get better. (though some of the latest happenings in my facility don't support that... LOL).

I hope some of this helps...

BTW... all the above advice is very good.
