Question
Im considering a career in air traffic control. I was aiming for aircraft operations but the flight lessons are extremely expensive and i cannot afford it. i wanna know how long it took you to complete the program and how long it took for  you to find a good job. do you get to pick the location you work at? was the curriculum difficult for you to complete? and does the process involve any financial assistance besides the regular tuition fees? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Salim,
   The process of getting hired has changed significantly since I was hired.  Everything that you need to know about getting hired by the FAA in on their website at:
