Which job is better?

Question

(Excause me I can\'t type Chinese here)
I\'m from Taipei. 26 years old. Getting married this year. Now I live in US with my American fiance and thinking about my future job.

My question is ..........................................
I want to be a flight attendant, or US school teacher......Which one is better???

My fiance is an art teacher in high school. He think both of us being a teacher is the best for the family. And he still respects me no matter what I want to be.

I know American airlines is losing money and the security problem. But I still dream about to work on a plane and travel. One thing good about foreign country\'s airline is they don\'t depend on ages or appearance other than Taiwan. I don\'t easily let my US friend know I want to be a F.A. because the honor of this job is not as high as Taiwan.
(American may surprised that there are always thousands of pretty girls join the recruitment exam but there are only 80~120 people hired......very \"dreamable\" & popular job....maybe that\'s why I wanna join in(but I know Asian\'s airline services is better.) (I\'m 158cm which is 5 feet. Still possible work on a plane here but not in Taiwan.)

My major was English. I became have no specialty when I come US. I know US need lots of qaulified Chinese teachers. I assume that I can make good money because we are on the trend of China\'s growth. But Taiwanese\' writing is diffirent than China; as I know, American prefer to learn simplified Chinese (easier). I can be a teacher but not sure am I passionate in teaching Chinese in my whole life.

One thing the same to me between these two job is that I still need be trained no matter what I do. And the money I make is about the same....
Back to my question......flight attendant and US school teacher.....which one\'s better??

Thank your for reading my question and please give me opinion if you understand the above English, thank you!!
(You can answer in English or Chinese. Thanks!!)

Answer 1

不知你有沒有坐過美國國內班機？
我坐過一次
服務生是一個中年男士
他不太客氣的把點心發給我們…
是啊，美國對空服員是沒有什麼年齡的限制（因為就是服務生的工作嘛！）
但如果我是你，我會試著找一份穩定的教書工作
在台灣，當空姐是很多女生的夢
就連我在學時，也非常夢想有一天能當空姐
但工作了幾年，坐了幾次飛機
想法有些不一樣
以前覺得當空姐是一件很讓人羨慕的事
可以去世界各地玩
但事實上，空姐如果能飛國際航線的
常常累到沒有時間去玩
Flight attendant也就是空中的服務員
和地面的服務員並沒有什麼不同，
都是要服務用餐的客人，而且在空中更辛苦，狀況也更多
（想像 一下一個餐廳內有很多的人來用餐
，一下這桌的客人要飲料，一下另一桌的客人要餐具，
還有另一桌的娃娃把湯弄翻了…這些全都要你處理！
而且你在處理的時候，另一邊又有客人在叫你了…）
（還會遇到暈機的客人…）
這真的是一個值得你不顧一切投入的行業嗎？
空姐在台灣看起來是光鮮亮麗
但在國外，就和餐廳的服務生沒什麼兩樣
當中文老師教簡字，剛開始是比較辛苦
但我覺得你會學得很快
因為我們已經會繁體字，而簡體字，也就是簡化後的中國字
概念上很多都是相通的
而且，你又多會一種文字
以後去大陸玩還可以自己點餐
未來10年內，大陸的經濟會快速成長（或許台灣會被世界遺忘了吧！）
而你是可以讓外國人了解，
除了大陸，還有台灣
任重而道遠，台灣的未來靠你了！
