You would think you'd have a good shot at not washing out, but from what I've read, there's a certain type of person that makes it, not a person with a certain type of degree.

Hell, I have a degree in meteorology with a focus on aviation weather and from what I've been reading I'm worried for myself. I'm know I can do it, but every day I read posts about people flunking out, quitting, hating, etc... it makes you wonder. I've stuck it out in this degrading, lame job for 2 years though. I don't know if FAA management can be much worse than this place's management. You never know, I guess.

Actual ATCs seem to be able to sniff out a wash-out from 100 yards...
