Apply for Eurocontrol and NATS, in that order.
If you get past the first stage with Eurocontrol you'll get a free visit to Maastricht and can see if drinking innumerable different ales is to your liking, sorry, the ATC environment is to your liking.
Then, apply to NATS, you don't get any freebies there, but you do get to enjoy a holiday on the South Coast, sorry, you get an exceptional training, I believe.
Then, when you've got your shiny NATS ATC licence you can go and work most places in the English speaking world for a great deal more money, once you've served your sentence for free training.
Slightly facetious, but only slightly!
Whatever you decide, best of luck. It's a great career and sure beats working for a living!
OTB, who has holidayed, sorry, worked in 6 countries on 3 continents for enough time to be able to retire comfortably aged 56, some time ago.
