Do you have to go to college to become a pilot?

No, you do not have to go to college to become an air traffic controller. You can join the military or even now you can apply to the Federal Aviation Administration with as little as 3 years of work experience and no college at all. They should be posting another announcement like that in the next month or so. You can catch updates on faa.gov website or on www.stuckmic.com (It's the largest air traffic control website in the world).
