I’m a bit confused from your earlier messages about whether you plan to apply to be a trainee air traffic controller, or to the early career scheme (which I don’t think has anything directly to do with becoming an ATCO).
In any case, it’s best to apply for a job you have at least a little bit of passion for. No point being stuck in a job you don’t enjoy just for the money.
And who knows what the future holds for ATC, esp. over the course of 40 years?! In many ways, it’s the perfect industry for AI to take over many jobs. Satellite surveillance over the Atlantic is currently being trialled, traditional towers are being replaced with digital ones. All sorts of changes going on...
