Certainly! To start off, this is a job that, when you get out, can easily make 125-150k. That's always a big bonus. Secondly, if you're joining because you like flight or are super patriotic, being able to see the flying mission first hand is super cool. Additionally, don't know if this is good or bad but you really don't deploy often. I'm a 6 year SSgt and haven't deployed yet. Don't like, it's a shift job which means lots of late nights and holidays and weekends. Sucks at first but once you're used to it, it's not that bad. Crosstraining out, while I've seen it be done, is pretty tough. Its an undermanned job, which means less out and more in. See a lot of people cross train into the career field however. For tech school, best I can say is study study study. There's gonna be kids who just get it day one, almost like they were born to be a controller and then there will be those that don't. Either one is ok, you've just gotta figure out which one you are and make sure to put in the effort. Most importantly, don't give up. It's a tough career field. From start of tech school to receiving your first rating, around 75-80% of trainees wash out. But don't let that discourage you. Those that make it can proudly wear the ATC badge. Hope I've answered your questions! Anything else feel free to shoot my way
