Hi All
I was cabin crew for nearly 7 years and had toyed with the idea of leaving for my last 4 years of flying!
I finally plucked up the courage and decided to attempt to get into a job that I had always thought I would like.... Paramedic.
I was lucky enough to get accepted on a training course and have never looked back since. I get paid a lot less than I used to get paid. I work a lot harder than I used to work. I see things that no-one deserves to see.
BUT I love it and I'm glad I made the change. On a personal level I now have more job satisfaction and I am now in a position to look back at my time when I was flying with happy memories.
6 years and 3 kids on I am still happy I made the right decision.
It's a hard choice to leave the security of flying but this is your one chance at life and you have to grab all opportunities when you can and if you are thinking there is another career that interests you then pursue it.
