This is for the original poster as well as anyone else who needs this info:
FAA JOBS!!!!
If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma, the Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the right age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years! You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam.

Fill out the application immediately - even if they don’t know if they’d want to attend immediately - it’s the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW… There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It’s my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.
This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family & friends.
Note: I JUST checked the website (2/26/2012) and there are open positions abound. PLEASE look into this for yourself if need be.
