I did 6 years at SCATCC and Bz before PVRing. Offered Pilot training to come back in at age 25. Also sniffed at a forex dealing job in the City. US Bank had done some research and were intrigued by the longevity on display in the ATC world. They figured that the same aptitude/skills were required but dealers tended to burn out in their 30's whereas controllers went on happily into their 50's. They placed an ad in Flight inviting Air Traffickers to apply for the job.
There you go, another career option. Live the dream in RAF ATC for a few years then become a forex dealer and earn megabucks!
