>>459193>>I've thought about this as a job in the past as well. What are the requirements? Does it pay well? (enough to pay bills/travel) It seems like it'd be a very interesting job and a great way to see the world and meet people.Requirements depend a bit on which country you're from. In the U.S., it's a pretty good job for something that doesn't require a university degree (a flight attendant friend of mine describes herself as "the world's best-paid waitress"-she's been doing it for about three years and makes ~$60K, which is not bad for a young woman with only a high school diploma). But routes are assigned based on seniority, and US flight attendants often do the job for 30+ years, so it's highly competitive. She mostly likes it but she works all the time, and rarely gets more than 48 hours in any destination country. Along with a diploma, you need to be healthy and basically physically fit--some lifting is required, etc.
In other countries, looks are a factor--you actually have to submit photos, height/weight, and measurements. That's illegal in the US, and perhaps in Europe, but when I was a university lecturer in Thailand, about half of my students wanted to work for Thai Airways, which is quite explicit about the fact that they only hire good-looking people.
