So am I too old? By the time I completed a 2yr ATC degree, I'd be 29.5
.
So do I have to get hired before 30 or how does that work?
Thanks for the input!
Don't waste your time doing a 2 year ATC program. They are hiring through direct entry. A friend of mine was hired with ZERO aviation experience. Just study for the entrance exam which is a 8 hour event. Assuming you pass you should be put into a hiring pool. Go to FAA.gov and look for a job posting that's open to "All Sources." If their isn't anything now just wait and keep checking.
