True dat! My salary was lowish 6 figures (our base salary was maxed-out at 179,900+ differentials) and I have nothing more than a semester of college. The FAA did a study years ago to find out who they should hire as ATCs because the washout rate is so high (was until they started diversity hiring; now they signoff almost anyone). They started with college grads. They had the same washout rate as everyone else. Seems being good at essays and tests didn't equate well with an ever changing environment.
