And the course ran 10 months long and it was very competitive, technical, and not everyone made it through.
It's very difficult.
My grandpa used to do it.
And it's one of the most stressful jobs you can actually ever do ever.
And air traffic control is one of those professions most people never think about until something goes wrong.
Controllers manage the movement of aircraft in real time, sequencing takeoffs, landings, and routing across packed airspace.
It's again, just very stressful.
You have hundreds of lives in your hands at every given moment, essentially.
and a single miscommunication can end those lives.
So by the time the program was finished, Erin had earned her place in the tower.
So she was a university graduate and a qualified air traffic controller.
And a manager who worked with her remembered her this way, saying, quote, colorful, smart, very smart.
She was no dummy, unquote.
So Air Services Australia lasted less than two years.
And by November, 2002, she would eventually move on.
But her next stop was local government.
And she picked up a position at the Menashe City Council in Melbourne.
And the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the RSPCA, ran an animal management office inside the council.
And by 2004, Erin was there as an administrative assistant, filing paperwork basically.
and handling the unglamorous daily rhythm of local government, a world away from the control tower, which again is like an extremely stressful job, so I don't blame her for switching jobs.
