Way back in the day there used to a game called Tracon, which was an air traffic control simulator. I played it a few tells and from those experiences I knew that ATC was never going to be a path for me. I caused so many midair collisions.

There are also other ATC simulation games, but it looks like that particular developer also sells professional ATC training software, so I'd kinda imagine that that "I'm really good at TRACON" might be a better standard than most ATC games in terms of someone being able to be an actual ATC.
