If you have or know of
someone 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.
They need to go to
http://www.faa.gov/
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job%5Fopportunities/airtraffic%5Fcontrollers/
for details and to 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. The person who
shared this has a 28 year old daughter who is well into 6
figures and has plenty of time for travel/recreation and has
started another career on the side.
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.
I hope you pass this
information on to family, friends,etc.
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT
APPLYING FOR
........
Even if you do
not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with
someone who does, pass this scholarship information on to
anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a
number of companies and organizations that have donated moneys
for scholarship use to African Americans, a great deal of the
money is being returned because of a lack of interest.
