I worked in the small non-profit sector for 5 years before switching to a Flight Attendant Career. Not only did I have to no longer worry about raising money to support my organization and pay my staff (and sometimes not myself), but I got one of the best employee benefits package there is.

In addition to travel benefits and meeting new people all the time, you’ll get to fly free or at a greatly reduced rate on other airlines as a standby passenger. You also receive a bucket load of discounts, including hotels and car rentals. The health benefits are the best, especially if you have children or if your spouse is self-employed as mine is. There’s the credit union with some of the lowest interest rates available, a 401K and stock options with some airlines.

Even when the days are long, I never take my benefits for granted because I had a previous career where I didn’t have those options.

Overall airline employee benefits will be covered in Flight Attendant School so take note. It may not seem that important when you’re in your 20’s, but will greatly payoff when all those adult responsibilities kick in.
