Tal   10 #1 Posted November 15, 2004 I'm looking for a career change and have been thinking about training to become a Paramedic or joining the Air Traffic Control Service. Does anyone work as either and have any advice/insight about the jobs?  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dug   10 #2 Posted November 15, 2004 There was an advert in the Sheffield Star a couple of weeks of for trainee paramedics. Why don't you try the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals website for vacancies, or maybe the South Yorks Ambulance service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HotPhil   10 #4 Posted November 15, 2004 My girlfriend's dad was an air traffic controller at Heathrow. It pays well and you get quite a lot of time off. The responsibility and stress is however IMMENSE. If you're up for a challenge and fancy a job where one mistake can cause 100's of deaths, then go for it! He did however immensely enjoy the periods where he was air traffic controller for the tiny airport on Islay (they make a lot of whisky there don't you know).

Sheffair   10 #7 Posted January 6, 2005 Foo-Bear ATCO's provide an invaluable service, pretty difficult to get in.......Class 1 medical required, numerous interviews, qualifications, but if you get the job apparently it is very rewarding.  http://www.nats.co.uk/recruitment/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
