Sleeping in Airports blog

I know this will require a big stretch of the imagination, but imagine that airports and airlines were the only places to get jobs.  What job would you be most qualified for?

To help you decide on your future career, here are some of the duties or qualifications:

• Air Traffic Control - you work well under pressure and can drink hazardous amounts of coffee.
• Pilot - you always get the highest score when playing flight simulator video games.   You also look good in uniform.
• Flight Attendant - you prefer to serve airplane food rather than eat it.
• Air Marshall - sitting on a plane pretending to be a paying customer, but with a gun and permission to use it when the passengers get out of hand, sounds like fun to you.
• Customs / Immigration Officer - you are rude and suspicious of everyone, including members of your own family.
• Check-in/Gate Agents - you can type fast and you value meaningless chatter with your co-workers over assisting customers who are trying to reach their final destination.
• Baggage Handler - you have a tendency to throw and misplace things.
• Aircraft Mechanic - you are highly skilled with electronics.  Your friends and family always call you when they need someone to set up their PVRs/TiVos.
• The person on the tarmac wearing the big headphones who waves the planes into/away from the gate - because it looks like fun!
• Airport Cleaner - you are a neat freak.  Your motto is “if its on the floor, I clean it up”… this includes people who are trying to sleep.
• Security - all the other jobs were taken.
