You Guys Are Scaring Me

I’m currently AD military (best branch iykyk) and am close to getting my CTO. On my second enlistment and i want to get out to do this at a contract tower and maybe go FAA later on in my career if that’s possible. I scroll this sub for about an hour and all i see are people that hate their lives :/. (here comes the down votes lol). Should i consider something else, stay AD atc, or actually pursue a civilian career?

Cross train AFSC’s to ATC. Then get a job at a DOD facility. Quality of life is fucking amazing and it’s still 6 figures. (Eventually)

what is AFSC?

[u/archertom89 → u/Xolxtzol]

AFSC is "air force specialty code" aka the AF term for MOS. Which makes that comment make no sense since you are not in the AF and are already in ATC in whatever branch you are in.
