ferris. OK, and as WE noted, most other ANSPs are similar! Just depends what you want out of life. I was absolutely, 100% contented doing the same job for most of my working life and never found it boring in any way, shape or form. Maybe it's because I worked at some interesting ATC units. However, the main incentive for me was the amazing amount of time off I had to spend with my wife and kids. Life isn't all work, although some of the "managers" I worked with seemed to think they had to be at work H24, not that they actually achieved much!!! Overtime is available in the UK, but I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole - who wants to be at work every day?
Whatever turns you on, I guess....
