I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

Sounds very exhausting and sometimes I complain because once or twice a year we have to work a little extra on Friday night's, haha. Nice to have some perspective sometimes.

I wouldn't say being an air traffic controller is really anything like being a pilot to be honest. Pilots have to have very technical knowledge of aeronautics and focus their one single job of safely managing / landing their plane. An air traffic controller has to coordinate airspace for (possibly) many aircraft in a safe way. It can get very chaotic when things go awry but 90% of the time it's fairly straight forward procedure.
