I'm guessing you stuck with ATC for now. Sorry I didn't see your post from a while ago. I retired almost 2 years ago. Ended up at a part 121 commuting. Had family issues and needed to resign. Having the retirement income and benefits made that decision much easier. Things are resolved and I will be starting back next month with a different regional based where I live. Stress level during training, etc was much less because I already have an income. You are young and if the urge to fly is really strong I'd say do it now before you are too vested at ATC. Just remember what others said about the cyclical nature of this business. Only a few years ago there were a lot of people on furlough. I did plenty of flying during my ATC carreer as a CFI, banner tow, etc. I think I have been very blessed to get the best of both. PM me if you want more input.
