A career with the Federal Aviation Administration or FAA might not be such a bad idea, as there is a severe shortage of Air Traffic Controllers right now. The Federal Aviation Administration predicts this shortage to continue and the GAO is stating it could get very serious. In fact some are blaming the Lexington, KY crash on the fact that there was only one air-traffic controller on duty, when really three were needed.
