Will these classes benefit me in becoming a flight attendant?


After I am done with Highschool I am going to flight school to be a flight attendant. I have taken 2 years of Spanish, and next year I am taking Pyschology and Public Speaking. Will them classes help me be more successful in becoming a flight attendant? If you could give me some advice that would be very nice.

yes these classes will assist you in your goal of becoming successful as a flight attendant. some other courses to consider: social and behavioral communications, a basic writing class (to ensure you well-document incident reports), a cultural diversity class so you can learn about the idiosyncricies of other cultures and a business communications class to hone your skills in communicating with all types of people. a basic first aid course would also be an idea - the airlines will teach you some first aid, but you should be very familiar with how to deal with minor injuries and other common ailments like someone thinking they are having a heart attack, panic attack, etc.

i would also recommend that you become strong, work out and stay very healthy. the job is quite demanding, the emergency exit doors are heavy and you stand a lot.

i'm not saying you shouldn't be getting a college degree, but i want to make sure you know that a degree is not required for flight attendants on most major airlines. with that said, you could consider pursuing your degree online with a reputable university while working as a flight attendant.

A high-school diploma or GED is a must, so if you're in school now, STAY IN SCHOOL. If you have quit or dropped out, it's never too late to go back and get your diploma. For all airlines, it is a requirement for employment. Additional schooling, which can improve your chances of acceptance, includes sociology, psychology, history, geography, and foreign languages.
Nearly all airlines will train you as a part of the hiring process, even if you've worked for another airline, or attended one of the expensive airline "schools". I recommend you look for an inexpensive local community college or adult education course that offers class in Travel & Tourism, or an introduction to the Flight Attendant Career, such as the one offered by Cypress College (http://votech.cypresscollege.edu/~atc/).
