This job is suitable for some and for some people, their worst nightmare.
Only you can decide about what to do. I would say though, that forget what your family might say. I was told at a young age when I announced that I wanted to become a hostie - "to get an education and a proper job". (
)
So I went off to school, college and uni, and guess what? I've been flying for nearly 10 years and I'm still loving it! I did it because I wanted to fly and travel and a little part of me wanted to prove that side of the family wrong.
Depending which company you decide to go for, you can get promotion to purser, sccm, cabin service director, cabin manager, whatever you decide to call them. Some companies actively recruit office staff from their flying staff as well, such as performance managers.
The world is your oyster. You decide what to do with your life. Good luck with your decision and applications if you decide to go for it.
Best wishes,
