Getmeupthere,
I am a Fighter Controller and have been for years - and I've never regretted a minute if it (well, not often). Most of the advice so far has been very wise. The chop rates are not too bad compared to what they were but, because the branch has always been short of people, it is offered to many who would really prefer to do something else. Consequently, there are a few youngsters about who feel trapped, having swallowed the recruiters' BS about being able to rebranch later. I think FC is a great job with an excellent future - but only do it yourself if you think you'll enjoy it - not as a 'foot in the door' ploy.
Have you asked your careers office/UAS Sqn about whether you could attend a 'Realistic Job Preview'? This would take you to Boulmer for a couple of days, let you have a look at what we do and give you the chance to chat over a beer with both U/T and qualified JOs
Whatever you choose, good luck
