Thanks guys. yes, I've read numerous job descriptions where dispatchers, including regional guys, talked about a typical day at work. It's definently intense, though no more so than being an ATC or even a weather forecaster. In fact it sounds somewhat similar to being a college student, between class, study, work, internship, etc. Hehe. When it come to some things I actually thrive on intensity.
Can anyone answer the questions that pertain to actually becoming a dispatcher? thanks.
