I want to go to college in the United States, and I want to be the director of airport operations in the future. Which major should I choose?

Air traffic controllers are managed and selected by the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the relevant information of FAA, air traffic controllers must be American citizens under the age of 3 1, and they can meet the basic qualifications only after passing the physical examination, but the green card cannot.

The FAA has an Air Traffic Academy Training Program (AT-CTI), which allows a few qualified American universities to set up air traffic control training programs for at least two or four years. The more famous ones are Purdue and Hampton. For people born abroad, the biggest challenge is actually English accent. In all industries in the United States, if you need to take exams and get better treatment, you are all Indian, Pakistani and Filipino brothers, but air traffic control is definitely an exception. There is only one reason-Indian, Pakistani and Filipino accents are not appreciated. Air traffic control is a matter of life and death. If the pilots don't understand the English of air traffic controller Wang Huang and play riddles in the air, the nearly 90,000 flights in the United States every day will definitely be far less safe than now. If your English is not as fluent as American English, you may be mistaken for a foreigner through the receiver. Even if you have citizenship, it's not easy to get into this business.

Taking another 10,000 steps, the FAA has a close relationship with homeland security, and the political atmosphere between China and the United States is subtle. It is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. In addition, in recent years, the fact that China students have stolen secrets from American defense companies has been constantly revealed in the United States. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for China students to enter the FAA's national security-related departments through wealth survey, even if they have an identity. Taiwan Province Province has been friendly with the United States for many years, but a small number of people from Taiwan Province Province in the FAA are engaged in irrelevant affairs such as certification or inspection in the administrative or peripheral departments, and rarely in the FAA tower or high-level, so they can't get into the core. In the past few decades, newspapers in China reported that only one retired air force officer from Taiwan Province Province retired from the American Tower, and all others were ABC. The chances of mainlanders are only worse. This matter concerns the overall situation and has nothing to do with personal conditions.

Air traffic control treatment is really beautiful, but the selection conditions are harsh, the work pressure is high, mistakes will be punished, and people who are not rigorous and careful will never be able to do it.

Air traffic controllers in China are completely different. But I doubt whether China recognizes the qualification of American air traffic controllers. Go to the FAA website below.
