>>>> the majority of the failures were university graduates, how does a degree in economics help you become a controller????

In retrospect, how does a couple of A-Levels help you become a controller (which is, after all, the MINIMUM requirements that NATS sets for entry)? I am not an economics graduate, but people should be aware of how advanced the mathematics is in these types of degree - far more advanced that an A-level in mathematics. So by rights, if you think that a degree in economics doesn't help get you on the road to being a controller, then having a couple of A-Levels certainly shouldn't.
