KDVR – Graduation from college is a huge achievement and a starting stone in the lives of young academics everywhere.
In most cases, it is usually one of the first steps for 20-Somethers at the start of their career and the entry of a new stage of independence, but to graduate from Denver State University in Metropolitan, that day came when she was only 19 years old, after a year after her high school graduated from high school.
For Adelaide Breton, her way to quickly graduate and seek her ideal career was always dreaming of him. While the college pressure was swimming, she faces a new form of pressure and her life begins in a field recently.
Breton on the road to become an air traffic controller.
To start her plans in her plans, he bent over the coincidences of coincidences while she was in high school, which allowed her to build a arsenal of the credits that she used to transfer them to Michigan State University after graduation.
To track her progress more quickly, Bretton said she joined the summer school and had a semester as it lasted 18 credit hours, all working in two jobs in Urban Outfitters and a restaurant near Union Station.
This type of work burden will put most people in a rut, but she said that because all of her chapters revolve around flying, none of the homework felt a home duty. It was just overwhelming her in something she really interested in.
Her interest was raised when she was young in high school and had to search for a profession. Her mother suggested that she look at air traffic control, and from that moment, Breton has not seen back.
She recently applied to obtain an observer center for the spring in the spring and obtained a “qualified” result in evaluating air traffic skills, and in return, she received a temporary offer from the Air Security Organization.
Hence, the next step will be to enter the Federal Aviation Administration Training Academy.
All this work seems strict, but it may be the biggest challenge after its appointment, as the field of air traffic control bear many issues and criticisms.
The prominent flight incidents have pushed the issues in the eyes of the public, According to the US Department of Transport, There is a shortage of air traffic controls, amid a natural decrease in the position and a large number of layoffs. The department increases the population of the workforce rapidly and upgrading the old technology used by air traffic monitors to reduce it to a more modern level.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Air traffic monitors Association offers limited incentives for time, including:
- A prize of $ 5,000 for academic graduates who successfully completed the initial training of qualifications
- A prize of $ 5,000 for new appointments who successfully complete the initial qualifications training
- A prize of $ 10,000 for an Oscar who was appointed in one of 13 air movement facilities that are difficult to employed
- He will receive the approved professional control units that qualify for retirement, but in light of the mandatory retirement age (56) you will get a broken amount of 20 % of their basic salaries for each year they continue to work
Bretton faces another difficult obstacle on her journey, but with a fixed head on her shoulders, advice is provided to any students who follow a similar path.
“This is not for everyone,” Bretton said. MSU. “Learn yourself. Follow the best path to you.”
