I haven't read everything on this site, but my sister is an ATC so I may be able to add a little.

If you're not willing to move, it may not be the job for you.
Working in the tower is a pretty good gig, but if you don't get assigned to the tower path, and wind in in the Radar section then there are only 7 cities you can work in (I believe they are Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Gander, and possibly Moncton, but I could be wrong). They try to accomodate you, but there is always the chance that you could get assigned to Gander Newfoundland, and if you aren't willing to take that risk, it might not be the job for you.
