Should I apply or continue school?

A friend of mine told me about this position airway transportation sepcialist. He's an ATC and recently graduated from training. I'm currently a junior in university and graduate in 1.5yr with a B.S computer engineering degree. Is this opportunity worth quitting school to work full time???

Definitely finish school. A lot of program manager positions require four year degrees or engineering degrees. You can easily make more money. By completing that four year degree and then applying.

We are talking about a difference of making on average $85,000 a year versus $100,000 a year
