Question
I'm currently attending A university majoring in Aviation Management. I really would like to become an ATC but my school isn't one of the 14 FAA approved schools. What would you suggest I do.

Answer
Dear Thomas,
   Go to the FAA website and under jobs look for bids that say "all sources" (there are not any at this time) and apply online.  When the application is accepted they will set you up to take the ATSAT.  Take the ATSAT, whether you go to a CTI school or if you are hired off the street you still have to pass the ATSAT.

The FAA website is:http://jobs.faa.gov/Allfaajobs.htm

Good luck.
