I've been controlling at a small local airport for about 3 years now, not too much traffic but still enough to be busy on the weekends. Mostly charter and GA. Pays like ass but it's a good side hustle. ($14k/yr atm)
I wonder if it's worth aiming for something bigger though. Of the few other controllers I talked to I mainly heard that the increase in pay really doesn't scale with the increase in workload and you end up working 8-10 hour shifts with no breaks for like $40k/yr.
