if you are tired of learning,and do not want to go university because you fed up with student's life think twice before you start your ATC carrier.
At first 90% of students at economy,law,admistration will spend less time over books than you.Even you spend only 3/4 months in schooll you will be very soon amazed how many things you missed in school,than you have to learn the same things again,than your knowledge is not enough so you have to improve it during the OJT,than you must learn procedures,LOINs,LOAs,and similar documents BY HEART! If you don't comply with this you will see how an instructor is going to be
. After few years of trainning you will start to work operational shift but it is not end of learning. Things change rapidly so expect to learn(and someone will examine it) again the same documents. here in Europe with new license system you must pass on regular basis competency checks,so again books and documents. You may opt for some small unit but very soon you will realise that your salary is not enough,that idiots working above you and your wish will be to change things. Than again transition with new procedures,equipment,LOINs,LOAs etc. More books to follow. After a few years you will realise that OJTIs and SUPs are out of date and you would like to show them how it should be done. Be preapred. again books,exams and so on. After years at middle level positions you will realise that you could do better so again,school,books and exams as well.
when you reach the top you willl realise that pension starts next week.
So find another motivation to join ATC, or avoid it.
