What You'll Do: As a flight attendant, you are responsible for making flight passengers feel safe and comfortable on a plane. This is a job that requires you to love traveling because you are constantly on the move. The job also allows you plenty of leisure time so that you can experience new places and new sights quite frequently. On the downside, however, tending to customers' needs can be very strenuous because they may be difficult or even belligerent. You have to maintain a pleasant demeanor at all times-even if you are feeling the complete opposite. Standing on your feet for flights that can last many hours at a time can also be extremely tiring.

The work schedule of an attendant is very irregular. You probably spend more than 12 hours a day on a plane and stay in a hotel several days out of the week. If you have been working for several years, you may have the opportunity to pick shifts, but you are likely on call if you just started.

Education and Training: In the United States, flight attendants must be 18 years old at a minimum, possess a current passport, and have a high school diploma or GED. Nowadays, a college degree is highly recommended, and those with four-year degrees in communications, psychology, tourism, public relations, or hospitality will have an edge over the competition.

Most airlines are looking for individuals who are attractive, height and weight proportionate, and on the taller side. Flight attendants who frequently go on international flights usually have to be proficient in another language. If hired, you will receive on-the-job training and become certified with the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Future: The Flight Attendant profession is expected to experience little or no change through 2020. That being the case, expect competition to be keen for positions--when they come available. 

The Pay: Annual salaries for Flight Attendants in the U.S. range from $24,900 to $63,900, with the average median annual wage hitting $38,000 in 2011 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
