Clocks_off,
Rule out becoming a controller in the US because you have to be a US citizen to work for the FAA.
As many know over 60% of us will be eligeble to retire by 2006, it takes an average of 2 to 5 years to fully certify (depending on the type and level of facility), so the clock is quickly running down, and the FAA has yet to take steps to hire new people so that they will be ready and in place.
