The US government wants video game players to work as air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers help planes fly safely at airports.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made a new video. The video shows people playing games and working at airports. It says "You've been training for this." The job pays $155,000 after three years.
There are not enough controllers now. The FAA needs about 3,000 more workers. Many controllers will leave their jobs by 2028. The government thinks gamers can do this job well because they make quick decisions.
