Yes, you have what it takes!
You have a real taste for travel and what's more you have the patience, nerves and maybe even the charm that takes to thrive at serving the traveling hordes at 35,000 feet. Welcome aboard!
No, you're better off as a gate agent.
You like to travel but the pressures of non-stop flying for professional reasons could cause to become slightly unhinged. That's no reason to avoid the airport: we think you'd make a fine gate agent, which keeps you more grounded (literally) but is also an important airline job with lots of customer interaction.
You're better off as a passenger.
You love to travel, you have little patience for disruptive behavior and would rather sit back and enjoy a cocktail at 35,000 feet than serve a planeload of thirsty, demanding passengers on a bumpy flight to Cleveland. So, where do you want to go next?
