My neighbor is an air traffic controler and makes over 100k at 23 with an associates degree. They also get a pension and a mandatory retirement age of 56. Are there other gov jobs that are this cushy?

Cushy in terms of comp yes. They have good representation and job security.

But if you jumped on Live ATC at a big airport pre-COVID those controllers were dealing with some crowded af places.

Anything at the government of Canada is extremely cushy! Almost impossible to be fired, you can do as little work as possible and you receive a good salary with great benefits and pension. But not the most exciting

air traffic is the highest stress job. another job would be port worker in la.

It's definitely a secure job, but it's not untouchable. Ever since Reagan broke the air traffic controller strike I'm told it hasn't been as cushy

All gov jobs below a GS 14 are cushy.

.

You are vastly underestimating how stressful every minute worked by an ATC is, and you don’t want to listen to anyone that tells you otherwise.

Sounds nice but very difficult to do drugs as an air traffic controller. Tradeoffs

Los Angeles DWP.

Low level jobs will push you past $100k and you can easily clear $200-300k in management.

OP, they earn every penny of that salary. Being an Air Traffic controller is a highly stressful job. If you do it poorly, people die.
