I washed out of the ATC training program earlier this month. It's not the worst thing in the world- I figured I wasn't cut out for that line of work about half way through the training. Regardless, I was told about tech ops and how I might want to look in to it. It looks like a job I would enjoy doing, but I have a few questions that I couldn't immediately find answers to and I would appreciate it if you would take some time to help me out here.
How long does the training last?
How quickly can I expect a class date?
Are there statistics on a washout rate?
Can I choose where I live? I realize the job requires a lot a travel but will I be able to live close to home while I am working?
What salary can I expect after training?
How many hours can I expect to work in a week?
For reference, I am 28 and my last career was teaching high school physics and aerospace engineering classes.
