I think glassdoor is full of shit.

More like 70-180, and then the potential for significant overtime as well.

This makes way more sense. From the person I knew in ATC a while back, it actually paid pretty well.

Plus you're a federal employee, so the benefits tend to be quite good and make up for a lower salary.

I know all the ATC types I knew in the military were looking at pretty lucrative careers when they left active duty.

The hours can be pretty rough, though.
