Life as an FA...
So here is my current dilemma with my job. I love it, I mean I get paid to do nothing; I know a lot of people bitch about it and say its awful (these usually being the older ladies I fly with...). Here is my one and only problem with the job and why I am contemplating returning to cooking...
I am not using my brain. That is the issue. Lets look at the job itself real-quick: On an average 4-hour flight I serve beverages initially....answer some call lights, go through with coffee a few times and do a 2nd quick beverage an hour before landing. Granted, I don't get paid a ton, but then the rest of the time I just read or chat with people. Basically a cake job.
But I am used to working lots and accomplishing lots during my days. And I thought I didn't like that but now that I don't do much and don't really have any goals to work towards I find myself wanting to get back to my career as a chef. I love flying and I love food, I kind of do both right now with some personal chefing on the side, but I want to get back into restaurants I think.
I don't want to make any rush decision because I do have a fairly stress-free life right now and I have gotten to see a lot of the world and I don't want to give that up and regret it. So I think I am just going to see where life takes me and not worry too much about what happens.
