Scrapping as a Job

Okay so right now as some of you may know, I am a 16 year old scrapper in the West Chicago suburbs. I am about to finish my Junior year of high school. As senior year approaches I have to start thinking about a career or a job. At first it was community college and scrap, but my retired neighbor who worked for the FAA got me thinking about that.

I started my search on the FAA's website and came across some requirements to be qualified to be a Air Traffic controller.



Be a United States citizen - Got that
Start at the FAA Academy no later than your 31st birthday - Can Do
Pass a medical examination - Healthy as a Horse
Pass a security investigation - No problem
Have three years of progressively responsible work experience, or a Bachelor's degree, or a combination of post-secondary education and work experience that totals three years. -Ohhhh thats an issue, No Job EVER
Pass the FAA air traffic pre-employment tests we will see
Speak English clearly enough to be understood over communications equipment - eyes speaks purrty gurd anglish

Now you see my problem. No job experiences just JnJ Junk.
