FAA Hiring (AGE : 18 - 31)  If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma, the Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school..You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam. 

http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers  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... The FAA rarely has an open application such as this and these jobs are coveted. This is a great opportunity and it should be noted 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.
