My mother tells me I used to rearrange the bottles of nail polish at stores so they all lined up by color.  I like order and I like structure.  So much so, that when I was looking to switch careers, a Flight Attendant Career seemed like a perfect fit.  There are procedures to be followed, like pre and post-flight checks, briefings, inventories and, my favorite part, written reports.  While all of this gives my friends plenty of ammunition to make fun of me, the time flies (okay, so that was an easy pun) during your day as a flight attendant.

In Flight Attendant School, I recall a fellow trainee being worried that she’d forget a procedure.  One of the reasons you’ll study every night after classes is so that doesn’t happen.  It’s kind of like math:  if you repeat 2 + 2 = 4 enough times, sooner or later you’ll remember it.  If you don’t, you keep repeating kindergarten. If you’re considering a career as a flight attendant, hit the books and take it all very seriously.  During your final exams, the last thing you want to be doing is trying to remember what comes after “Welcome aboard” when you’ve got that intercom in your hand.

My advice is to think of each piece of information from classes as compartments. (Oh brother, there she goes again).  Each compartment is a procedure and after a few test flights, you’ll easily see how they all fit together nicely over the course of your day as a flight attendant.
