I agree with everything umop3p!sdn is saying.
Many jobs require concentration throughout the day. Such as my own job.
Many jobs require continuous learning. Such as my own job.
It's called the normal working world.
What sickens me about this is they will probably get what they want.
This sort of nonsense is my main motivator for emigrating (in 6 months). Bye bye banana republic.

How much are you willing to bet?I am willing to bet that not one person that contributed to this thread would pass the recuitment process or even the vast majority of people on the site. It's not all about intelligence or ability. They have a rare skill set that is in demand.

I've had jobs in the past that require extreme concentration, involving moving money around and updating live databases. Maybe no lives at stake....

Yes, but there are not many jobs where a slip in concentration could result in the death of dozens of people.
this is just one example of what can go wrong if an ATC screws up. and he ended up paying the price with his own life.

I've had jobs in the past that require extreme concentration, involving moving money around and updating live databases. Maybe no lives at stake, but certainly lots of money depending on whether or not I remembered to set a flag correctly, or I got a join correct. I didn't get anywhere near the perks of these people.
It sounds like you are judging everyone by your own standards.
UFC - lucky you! - where are you thinking of heading off to?
Bus driver, train driver, airplane driver, scaffolder, electrician, ferry driver.
There are lots of jobs. It's their job. It's what they get paid to do.

Do you have the luxury of fail-safes?I work as a trader in investment banking. I deal in tens if not hundreds of millions of euro every single day. It can be highly stressful and demanding. I am educated to Masters level.
It's not difficult to get paid less than these air traffic controllers.I work 50-70 hours a week and my basic pay is less than what they get paid. Do I have a problem with what they get paid? No. They like most people in this country are overpaid but thats not their fault.
You can't do this job, so no one else on this thread can either? sounds pretty egotistical to me.Am I egotistical enough to believe I can do their job simply because I am used to pressure and stress. No.
Does anyone know what the ATC's are paid in other countries with a similar cost of living? And is it standard international practice to give so many days off? I expect that it might be, given the nature of the job.
This should be a fairly good benchmark of expected salaries and benefits.
'Airplane drivers' are extremely well paid.
The other jobs you mention don't require the same level of intense concentration and precision of thought as an Air Traffic Controller's.
Well, if they're not passenger airlines then they're presumably not responsible for the safety of passengers.
