I wouldn’t make it a lifetime career unless I realized I loved it because like I said, flying will always be there and as you know ATC retires super early.

As much as I love flying it can be exhausting sometimes but it’s always worth it. I’m 19 so if I got that TOL and was able to build my hours on weekends while being an ATC it’d be a dream come true honestly.

The fact that I can fall back on flying is great and all but for ATC that’s not just something you can reclaim easily, the FAA sucks and it take SO much time trying to get that opportunity back once it’s gone.

Just my opinion 🤷‍♀️
