"I started researching career paths that didn't require a four-year degree. I looked for industries that reported current labor shortages and read about what skills employers would be looking for in five to ten years. I stumbled upon an article about air traffic controllers—and read that in the coming years a wave of retirements would mean lots of lucrative job openings. I was shocked to learn that salaries for air traffic controllers were often in the six figures and that to be one you needed only an associate degree. It just so happened that Georgia has the only public aviation program in the country."
