Ignore that, there's no need to look at an airways chart.

Zooker, why do you tell people to do that? Some of these guys don't know any better and might assume you're someone to be taken seriously!

Helen, Aerodrome was the correct decision. When you finish the college you may well end up at somewhere that wouldn't be your first choice. However, the good news for you is that it is possible to move to TC, or one of the London towers or whatever, after you've got your licence and ratings somewhere else - these units are often short of people, particularly Heathrow.

It may take a few years to get to where you want to be, but ATC's like that. The upside of not getting what you want straight away is having fun gaining a broader experience of ATC, even where you didn't expect to (if you think Farnborough is quiet, wait until you've spent some time on radar on a busy weekend!).
