I agree 100% that you should give it a whirl if the medics pass you. However, it is as well to be aware of the possible problems. My views are based on training controllers over a period of some 30-odd years, both at home and abroad. For example, radar control is a skill. Some can do it; others cannot. Unfortunately, in many cases, this does not become obvious until live training commences but it is easier the younger one is.
Good luck and keep us posted..
