American vs Australian ATC Career
So recently I have heavily been researching a career as an Air Traffic Controller and I’m trying to weigh up my options as I feel like I would love the job.
I currently live in Australia, am 24 years old and have a degree in aerospace engineering. The thing is, I have a dual citizenship between USA and AUS as I was born in the states and I would love to move back to America at some point in my life. I understand the FAA has an age limit for ATC recruits of 31yo.
I’m tossed up about whether I should apply to be an ATC in the USA or here in Australia.
I was just wanting to know if anyone has any recommendations or insights that may lead to swaying me one way or the other. Are there any major differences between working for ASA vs FAA or perhaps things to look out for? What would you do?
