hello friends it's jasmine chanel bringing you another youtube video if you're watching this
video then you're interested in knowing why after four and a half years of being a flight attendant
i quit i know i know it seems like the dream job but i wanted to share some factors that led me to
considering leaving that career path a lot of times when i tell people i worked as an
international flight attendant their response is do you not like to travel why did you leave
well of course i like to travel and i've done much traveling after being a flight attendant
you can find that on my youtube channel i share my experiences i'm traveling abroad
by myself about a year ago i went to barcelona nuremberg germany and then madrid spain
where i spent it alone i shared tips on how to meet friends how to travel on a budget without you
know breaking the bank how i stayed in airbnb the entire time it's all on my youtube channel i have
so much to share i don't want to discourage anyone who is considering being a flight attendant so if
you're looking to become a flight attendant and you don't have any experience no worries i got you
covered check out this video where i explain how to become a flight attendant with no experience
also check out this video where i share the top 10 questions i was asked when i
was a flight attendant and if you watched that video already you know my number 10 question was
why did you quit and we're going to sum that up in this video i briefly talked about it and my
overall answer was i was tired of being tired if you can imagine i was going to japan every week
sometimes twice a week and i was tired of the jet lagged i would fly there to japan and be 1 pm i
would have to stay up until around 9 00 pm so that i wasn't exhausted or falling asleep the next day
on my flight back because we would leave midday i would get to seattle it's 8 a.m i would crash
go straight to sleep sleep for several hours and then wake up have a little bit of daytime then it
was time to go to bed i'm still awake my friends are going to bed and i'm wide awake and it's 11 pm
if that doesn't sound exhausting imagine living it that was pretty much why i started to think about
other things also when i was in training as a flight attendant i asked one of the trainees
how do women start a family how do they have kids and her answer was they don't so
i knew right then and there that this would be a great way to see the world get paid for doing it
but it probably isn't something i want to do forever i do recommend however working for a
commercial airline that has great benefits not only for yourself but for your spouse
and your loved ones and that's part of the reason why a lot of my colleagues were switching to
commercial airlines which leads me to the next reason why i left was because there wasn't room
for growth to evolve within the company you could be a lead you could be a supervisor but that was
pretty much it and i wanted more while i was a flight attendant i didn't have much college
i had no college experience and back then it was important for me to get a college degree
and i did i went to washington state university where i study journalism and media productions
um and got that expensive piece of paper for forty thousand dollars which going into 2021 i'm like
is it even necessary but we won't go there anyways it was important for me to get that
experience build those connections in a college settings my third year of being a
flight attendant i started taking online courses at a community college earned my associates and
then it was time for me to figure out where i was going to get my bachelor's degree so i kind
of had something to focus on in transition and some i quit because i was tired of the jet lag
i knew i was going to travel forever when you're on reserve you kind of just you're on a hangar i
would say and the airline is like you might travel today you might not but you need to stay close to
the airport just in case we call you and i was over that type of travel you know if you watch
my other youtube videos you see me in spain just doing whatever i want and so i was ready for that
type of travel of course i had to pay for it but there's so many ways you can travel on a budget so
be sure to check out that video and overall i was tired and there wasn't much room for growth
and for me i knew eventually i wanted to start a family even though i'm not there yet however
i did get married about four months ago so i'm on my way to that and it was a great way to see the
world i went to so many places that i would never go to on my own and so i'm grateful for that but
yeah if you have any questions about anything i mentioned be sure to drop a comment below i check
my comments and i respond back often sometimes i get on and i do a video like this explaining or
