Flight Attendant Information

How can I become a flight attendant?

I'm 26 yrs old would I be able to become a flight attendant? Do you require a degree? I'm looking for a career change and I'm seriously interested in this so if anyone could help me out with information that would be great... thank you

1. No degree needed. Make applications with several airlines. The "feeder" airlines are a good place to start (American Eagle, ComAir, Horizon, et. al). If you get an interview, please dress for business. Jeans are an instant way to fail the process. I have an acquaintance who helps folks with resumes and preparation. He's a career flight attendant with a major carrier. Send me an e-mail and I can provide more information. I don't want to do it on the Yahoo answer site, because it might come across as spam.
2. airlines now prefer degrees but none are "required" what background do you have work-wise... I work as an FA for an airline and never worked for another before this--- but I was picked up by a major, transatlantic, first-class carrier! they look for a certain background in their employees...and they do not prefer people with airline experience. They are the highest paying in the field, we fly internationally from day one, and its a great company! :) Its lots of fun!! (I, too, am 26 and made the career change just before my 26th birthday!)
