Travel Careers
Yes, fuel prices continue to rise, and the price of fuel affects almost everything else, like the cost of travel and food, but I am sure that you have heard that the travel and restaurant industries continue to boom. In fact as the boomers retire, they spend more time pursuing leisure travel, and as an added luxury, they spend less time cooking and more time dining out. (And the younger generations, the ones that are still quite aways from retirement age, are used to the fast lane: they fly around the world on business and enjoy fine food while they are at it).
So I would say that now is as good a time as any to embark on a flight attendant career (you can read more about your career choice on the flight attendant blog), and while you are searching for the right spot to train, you should take a look at the www.aha.edu flight attendant school, which is a big part of the International Air and Hospitality Academy in Vancouver, WA.
