For those of you who are, or may have a son or daughter seeking employment with a bright future, this may be for you. Clark Howard is a local Atlanta radio/tv personality who provides a plethora of consumer advice. He is highly regarded and respected for his in-depth knowledge and sharing of consumer issues.
Of the 12 jobs listed, Air Traffic Control is on the list. Having been an ATC for 7 years, I can personally vouch for this job as being one of the most challenging, yet fulfilling jobs one could have. It is often regarded as unending moments of boredom, penetrated by brief moments of sheer terror. That is kinda extreme, but there are quiet times and suddenly it becomes very busy. I would strongly encourage anyone interested to seek more info on this and other job opportunities presented here. As for ATC, where else could you find a job that pays extremely well, after 15 years you get 6 weeks of paid vacation, 10 paid Holidays, paid sick leave, overtime, night differential and Sunday pay. It isn't for everyone, but it might be for you or yours. If you have a small airport nearby that has a control tower, perhaps a call might get you some time with either the Facility Chief, or Supervisor that could give guidance about how to pursue this opportunity. Opportunity knocks!!

I'd rather be a live tackling dummy. I'm certain the pay is better, and there should be top notch medical coverage.

That is one tough job to do, that's why I respect guys like you Al!
And that means what? You wouldn't want to be an ATC, or don't think you could cut it?
Not sure if it's on that list but an electric lineman makes well north of that 80K. In the summer storm season here in Florida 200K is an average figure with the OT figured in. No 4-year degree required. Pole climbing class first then if you make it through that you bid into a lineman apprenticeship job which averages about 2 years depending on the student's ambition.
LOL, I'm semi-retired and old. Not looking for a career. The stress would wipe me out.

My brother was a lineman in New Hampshire. He was the guy who went out in the middle of the night to get the electrons flowing again. Rain, snow, sleet or hail, he was out there. Tough job, good pay, but out in that weather wouldn't work for me.
You can earn over 20k a day and only work a couple days a year if youre insane enough to climb up the towers to change the light at the top
