My son in his 20s has given up a £70k office job ( which he admittedly hates) to be an air traffic controller. This will obviously be shift work, a big pay cut and presumably a great deal of responsibility. He is married but has no kids and they dont want them. He will burn through his savings propping up his income while he trains.He was also accepted on a pilot training scheme, but has gone for the ATC because he doesn't want to be away from home and his wife so much. Obviously it is his life and he must make his own choices, but as a mum i do worry.
Can anyone come up with any positives?
