I have recently taken a serious interest in air traffic control, having taken flying lessons and having learned how to do the radio talk.  Are there any career opportunities in ATC for individuals over the age of 31?  I am age 35.

"Because studies show that the unique skills necessary for success as a controller diminish with age, a maximum age of 30 has been established for entry into an FAA tower or center controller position."

LOWS:
it's the same in Austria and you must have an university-entrance diploma.
Below you can read something about ATC in Europe:

AmericaWestCMH:
I couldn't find anything stating a maximum age for entry into Canada's ATC System, if you're deeply interested.

ATC:
You can still  get into FSS.
