FAA Hiring (AGE : 18 - 31)
This is for all kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma. The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school. They could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years! They need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam. Get more info!

They must 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. 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.
