Is Tower!2011 and Tower!3D Good introductions into ATC

[17tostob]

So I am a high school student and I want to become an air traffic controller. Obviously these simulators are a different than real life, but I am wondering if these two sims are good for an "introduction" and getting myself into air traffic controlling? I own Tower!2011 and absolutely love it and have a blast while controlling virtual aircraft. I am going to purchase Tower!3D in the near future and hopefully have the same exhilarating experience as 2011. If anyone has an answer to my question that would be great, thank you.
