Take it that I do not know what I want for my future.

I pursue IT security sector during my poly days, and I know IT security is demanding manpower now. However I do not have interests in IT, and I'm trying to change my path to Science related degrees such as Biotech. However, I am uncertain of the career prospect that I can have if I pursue Biotech.

Recently I stumbled upon the job as a flight attendant.

I have read about the good and bad, all the loneliness and fatigue behind the glamour.

I do know that they have a standard for choosing their candidates, so I'm here just to express my interests, hoping to catch the attention of bro and sis here who are/were flight attendants, or have friends who are in it.

Is it really worth?

EDIT: They have an interview coming up on 19th July...

As a guy, no. For the ladies, they could still work a few years as stewardess, get married off and enjoy good life. For the guys, being a steward is definitely not gg to boost your cv much. The money is very good, but how long can u last? A lot of my friends can't get used to the pay difference from outside work when their contract wasn't extended. And it is not helping that 3 years of steward experience is as good as being a waiter. Even if u have the energy to continue for 20 years, but the ratio of male steward being absorbed to the seniors is like almost impossible?

Unless u don't mind trading your golden years for free travel and the glamour.. If not get a proper job. I have a lot of friends in this circle as my ex is one of them.. So this is my 2 cents.
