in my country i got sent to an airport in the middle of nowhere for 3 years and had my fun
now im in an international airport, short shifts but shit can get hectic and very stressful in less than 20 minutes since we handle flight schools and vfr and ifr traffic at the same time
im doing a lot of night shifts nowadays which leaves me with a shit ton of free time but ill probably be mentally dead by the time i hit 40

your job could be replaced by an AI in an instant

brother, the airline industry is notorious for slow adoption of new tech. Most airports use stuff in the '80s. Even if an AI were good enough to replace controllers you'd have to somehow convince 190+ ICAO members to follow you. Not to mention AI would cause a 100% pushback from unions?

You NEED to study and practice with your classmates. Goin it alone is borderline impossible.
Non-radar sucks partly because the row instructors are all on their 3rd divorce except for Radar Bob who was chill. When you get to Radar get your scan down so you can build a picture in your head of the scenario.

Get ready for 3 years until you see a Saturday off too. Scheduling for the year is done by bid with seniority to determine order. It's not a job known for work life balance so make sure you let work (and school to a lesser extent) stay separate from home to some degree.
You get to retire with full government pebsion early for a reason and it's only stressful until you git good.

Is actually retarded and no, AI ain't coming for this one any time soon. The FAA will certify AI control instructions about the time they address the rampant alcoholism among ATPs and Controllers alike plus >>2030755

>t. Washed out a couple years ago because classmates wouldn't study abd probably have undiagnosed adhd.
