Travel/Hospitality

Flight attendants, sometimes called stewards/stewardesses, are the folks that take care of you while you're on a plane. Speaking several languages is a definite asset, particularly when making international flights.

Pilots, of course, are the men and women who fly the plane. They often have to communicate with the passengers, so for international flights, foreign language ability is a plus.

Tour guides work in museums, monuments, and other touristed places as well as in companies that offer package tours like scenic bus and boat rides, hiking trips, etc.

In addition, there is the closely related hospitality industry, which includes working in places like restaurants, hotels, camps, and ski resorts overseas.
