I would agree with everyone's advice - just go for it and try it. You might love it to bits, you might decide it's not for you. But the best thing about it will be that you tried it, and you will have learned someone about yourself (hopefully). I flew for 10 years, and now am an academic researching aspects of cabin crew communication and social identity construction. I learned that I loved the freedom, but that after a while, it was isolating, and time for me to settle down. Also, my former employer was changing work rules, and cutting salary and benefits, which contributed to me deciding the job was not worth it for me. Ultimately, you will come to your own conclusions, but will have hopefully seen a lot of the world and made some good friends along the way. Best of luck!
