I know I don't talk much in the forums but I am an avid reader of the DetroitYes site. Being from Detroit I am currently stationed in Germany and know firsthand their is not a lot of chances of good jobs for our generation I got this email from some of my contacts here and thought you all could send it to as many cousins, friends, nieces, nephews, etc. in an effort to give our youth a chance.

Subject: FAA Air Traffic Controller job opportunity for 18-31 year olds

Subject: Job Opportunity for 18-31 year olds

For people between the ages of
18-31 with a high school diploma.
The Federal Aviation Association is taking
applications for air traffic controller school. With some effort you
could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years.
You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for
college on the exam.
Go to
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_op portunities/airtraffic_control lers/ for
details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don't
know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the Federal Government
and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW. There will
be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line
up training to accommodate these openings. It's my understanding that
the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs
are coveted. The person who shared this has a 28 year old daughter who
is well into 6 figures and has plenty of time for travel/recreation and
has started another career on the side.
This is a great opportunity and note that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program after which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower.
Please pass this information on to family, friends, etc.

There was notice done like this in the late 80's by the FAA. It was held down at the Rencen. They had everyone take this spatial relation test to see if had the aptitude for the job.
