Become an air traffic controller
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is taking applications for air traffic controller school. You must be between the ages of 18 and 31 and have at least a high school diploma—credit for college is given on the exam.

As an air traffic controller, you will be a federal government employee with an outstanding benefit package. With hard work and effort there is the potential to reach a $100,000 salary range within 3 years.

This is a rare opportunity and these are coveted positions. All interested parties are encouraged to apply NOW. The hiring process can be take some months, so you have time in case you are not ready to attend immediately.

This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program (after-which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower).
