air traffic controllers

[mjt]

has anybody got first or second-hand experience with being an air traffic controller?

this caught my eye the other day and i've applied for a place at EUROCONTROL.
the training scheme, pay and job security are very good so it all seems win-win, apart from the possibility of death from stress

just interested to see if anybody has any views on this occupation..

ah, i didn't realise that's what scuzi did.

should have done a search first, eh?

cheers Scuzi, that's pretty much exactly what i was looking for
for some reason i thought you were older, did you join straight from school?

no one happens to have any experience of EUROCONTROL do they?
