As for your comment about most Flight Attendants not having degrees, sorry but I must correct you myself. I have been flying for 22 years, and before the flagship carriers went under, you could count on the fact that often times, the person serving you your chicken or beef inflight, was moonlighting from their real job as an author, accountant, business owner, realtor, teacher, registered nurse, librarian, ballet dancer, dental hygienist, medical technologist, professional chef, and even attorneys! And most were multi-lingual which was a requirement with international carriers until 1992. I am a registered nurse who left that profession after 5 years of 9-5, M-F humdrum, and I haven't missed it one bit. I love my job, my co-workers, and the idea of taking my family all over the globe for nothing!!!!! I have my degree and that's plan B if I need it, but right now, I'm content to "pass out peanuts" as it has so been called.
