attend in the future but now i dont even know whats subjects i need to learn in
year 11 and 12 so can u help me to solve out this question. thanks and im in
Australia


ANSWER: cong...there really isn't any specific subjects you need to learn. being fluent in at least 2 languages is a big plus. having a delightful personality, good communication skills, and good work ethics are important. you must be willing to work long hours,be away from home for several days at a time and possibly relocate. being a flight attendant is not a job...it is many jobs and a completely different life style.

QUESTION: so do u think its hard to be a flight attendant? and what is the height require for flight attendant? thanks for ur answer

Answer
It's only hard if you don't like the job.Like I said...you need to be very flexible and willing to work hard and always be pleasant.That's not an easy task. If you are up to the challenge there is nothing hard about it. Every airline is different when it comes to height requirements...you would most likely need to be at least 62 inches.You would need to contact the specific airline.
