The Perfect Job For A 20-Something With Wanderlust

So you just graduated from college,...or you're partially through... and all you can think about is one thing: I want to travel the world. Before I'm married, answering to someone about my whereabouts, spending money on diapers and club soccer teams, I want to see everything. I want to eat Gelato in Europe, walk the Great Wall of China, surf the waters of Hawaii, hang out by the pool in Cancun. Is there a job that makes all of this possible?! Do I have to wait until retirement to make this happen? Do I have to quit my job and work at bars throughout the world like some have done? No,...there's a career that makes this happen: Being a Flight Attendant. Just check instagram and you'll see the famous #flightlife and immediately begin to drool and your wanderlust will ignite a flame in you.

Want to help those in need? American Airlines has an "Airline Ambassadors" program where flight crew can volunteer their time to help transport orphans, babies being adopted, or kids getting surgeries in the US that need to be escorted!

Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that began with airline employees using flight benefits to help children, but has expanded into a network of students, medical professionals, families and retirees who volunteer as “Ambassadors of Goodwill” in their home communities and abroad. It provides a way for members to share their unique skills and talents to care for others and bring compassion into action.
