First, we don't call them "stewardess" since the 1960s. The proper job title is "flight attendant", and they can be both male and female.

I am a flight attendant myself, and In my opinion, flying anywhere while working is not fun at all. Going to Paris or Wichita is not much different. The job itself is the same, and when you get there, you just want to get to your room and relax. You might have more time on the ground after an international flight, and do a bit a sight seeing and eating in better restaurants, but after a while, it is all the same. The actual rewards of that job for me are to have a lot of time off (I usually work between 13 and 15 days a month depending on schedule and seniority) and the opportunity to fly all over the place on your time off, for very cheap (flight benefits vary from airline to airline). The cons are that you are away from friends and family all the time, and the pay is as low as it can get. If you are disciplined and can work independently, you could study on your own time and earn a degree of some sort, but after several years as a flight crew, you might never want to go back to a "real" job, even if it pays twice as much.

It is flight attendant now but it wasn't just until the 1960s when that title ended in most areas. Even Micheal Jackson was still saying stewardess because he was so used to it as a kid in the 1970s & this continued even in the early 80s but things were changing & during the change even in the 70s both stewardess and flight attended were acceptable as in the entire 80s but by 84 nearly everyone said flight attendant and people were no longer dressing up for a flight. They were starting to show up in junk clothes by then so things went down. All Stewardesses had to be Registered Nurses first at one time but no more. Just basic CPR training is about it with ability to check vitals.The best bet to become a flight attendant is to have a good record, weight in proportion of height, attractive is better, talk with an airlines to find out which College to study at or if there is a school just for this career choice. Most will have an Associated degree so one doesn't just get on the job training for this especially post 911 yet no Nursing is needed anymore. Been down this road before & it was College for me & low pay job with Eastern no longer in business. Systems 1 was their computer system.

Until you work your way up, you will fly commuter routes between small cities domestically. Unless you speak another language, do not expect international travel until you are on the job for a few years.

You won't get to see anything cool until a few years in.
