Flight attendant could be a good option for someone just starting out of high school or college. A friend of mine has been an FA with Air Canada for the past few years and now he's having a sweet gig, he works only 10-14 days a month giving him a lot of free time on top of incredible deals on air fare with AC. I was toying with the idea of become an FA but never really went for it. Anways, since I'm still on the Air Canada list for new opportunities, they just emailed me today with new openings with them if anyone's interested. Air Canada by the way have been voted as the best airline in North America and they are good, specially in their international flights. Here's the link if anyone's interested in applying with them. Position is based either out of Toronto or Montreal and being bilingual (English/French) is high on their requirement list as well as any other languages you might speak can only help you.
