Back to School Jitters

The FAA is Hiring Ages:
18 - 31

If you have, or know of, individuals between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma, the Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the right age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years! You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam.

    http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers 

Fill out the application immediately - even if they don't know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the federal government and it may take them months to call.  The key is to apply NOW. There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It's my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.
