UK Mil controllers earn £45 - £55 K typically. They also get subsidised accomodation, free sports facilities, free dental, free medical and an excellent non contributary pension scheme. Not to mention cheap food (how many jobs can you get 3 square meals every day for under a fiver). Other perks aswell such as cheap booze in the mess (Have to be a member of the officer or sgt's mess to control).
They also get the privalige of parade practice, GDT, guard duty and importantly of all - free clothes for work (usually blue or grey in colour).
