Well, yes.
I wouldn't do it otherwise
Yes there
are limitations as ATC Babe described (for example, I am probably not going to get to attend the funeral of a family friend when it happens), but you get to go to the shops when everyone else is at work, and more importantly for me, the beach.
I didn't go to the trouble of getting a degree because I was going to be an ATCO no matter what. I didn't do so through NATS, but I've had a very interesting and varied career nonetheless, AND learnt an awful lot about life into the bargain.
I wouldn't have swapped it for anything.
