I know a little about dispatching, took some classes, looked into it. It's somewhat like the pilot gig, crazy hours, being on-call, etc. No commuting, although you do have to ride up front every once and a while for part of your currency. Pay at the regionals seems to follow that of pilots. Working for a large 121 is once again the carrot that's dangled and those jobs can be pretty darn lucrative. It's definitely a good cert to have added to your quiver IMO, but there are so many other aviation jobs out there that would keep you immersed in aviation and many wouldn't have the crazy hours. I wouldn't discount the dispatching gig, but I will plead with you to not have "airline pilot tunnel vision", the thing that caused many of us to get into this industry, which led us down the path of "flying=flying for an airline", and of course there are so many different kinds of flying and flying for hire out there, not to mention the management and support necessary for those jobs to exist.
