I have been thinking about getting a job as a flight attendant. I LOVE flying and traveling, so a job like this would be like my dream job.
However, I am severely emetophobic, which means I have a fear of vomit.
I know airsickness is common, but I don't want to let it stop me.
But at the same time, as a flight attendant, dealing with a passenger who is ill would be INCREDIBLY difficult for me. When someone near me gets sick or is visibly unwell, I panic and my hands sweat and my mind races and I can barely bring myself to even speak. I know all that sort of screams BAD IDEA but apart from the occasional sick passenger, this job sounds like so much fun!
What are the pro's and con's of being a flight attendant, and do you think its something that's worth working through my phobia to accomplish?
