wot-the, as others have stated, ultimately the decision is yours.
Just like doing ATC.
If I were you, I'd definitely have a go. If you want others to make the decision for you, it is probably not the job for you anyway.
Like most Aviation related jobs, if you can learn quickly, recognise your own strengths and weaknesses, look for continual improvement and make decisions, this is a job for you.
If you can ignore advice, look after yourself to the detriment of others, curry favour, and spin your mistakes to make it others fault, maybe a managerial position would be better.
The level of dismay at the moment is due mainly to the bad decision making, and profit driven focus that the organisation has been trundling along for years. Airspace closures need never have happened if communication up and down the organisation had actually worked. They are not known as Lipservices for nothing.
Having said that, you'll never know if you never have a go.
