Every day, over 100,000 flights take off and end up in their destination safely all thanks to the hard work of air traffic controllers.  These controllers have to make sure that pilots know where they are going and don’t collide with other planes while trying to reach their destinations.  They constantly have to be alert and be good at making quick decisions in order to keep every passenger safe. Many of the air traffic control towers in America are extremely old and force staff to “go old school” when it comes to the technology available.  Also, due to a large part of the controller population retiring, training to be a controller is become shorter and less strenuous which is a bad thing due to the complexity of the job. This is not good because less experienced controllers could lead to a higher risk for aviation accidents.  Even though the job can be tuff, many controllers love their jobs and thanks to their dedication, You can travel anywhere in the world and get there safely.
