Could I be both? Flight Attendant and Psychologist?

Question

Lately, I've been thinking what career I'd want to go in to. I really like Psychology and I'd like to be some kind of Psychologist, but I got this itch to be a flight attendant or do something in the aviation field because I LOVE to travel, and assist people. I was wondering if anyone thought it could be possible if I could do both? Any advice?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you have to be at least an amateur psychologist as an f/a....but if you want to be a *real* psychologist, you have to get a PhD, which will take you a lot of time & work, not necessarily congruent with being out of town for days at a time. F/As don't make a lot of money (at least in the early years), and psychology degrees (BA level) are a dime a dozen....I would say make your choice, and keep the other as a hobby

Answer 2

Flight attendants are always on the move. How would you have time to establish an office if you're constantly jetting around?
