Basically my family is moving to the USA because they have brought a business. So im stuck here thinking should i move with them and leave my life in Britain with my friends and family who love me or move away to Florida with my mum, step-dad and sister. i will also be leaving my dad in Britain if i were to go. Dont get me wrong the prospect of moving to the sun fills me with joy but its the people who i will be leaving... i know i can always come back and visit them its just its a long way and will cost a lot of money! Ive had a plan for ages that i will always become cabin crew. but if i go to america i will work for my mother and i dont think thats what i want! :/ also i have never had a close relationship with my dad, but recently we have started growing closer and becoming friends and if i was to tell him i was moving to a different country would leave him gutted. i cant even comprehend telling him that me and my sister are leaving him to go live in a different country. strangely enough a couple of months ago i went to a Emirates Cabin Crew assessment day and getting a cabin crew job with them means moving away and living in Dubai, but i was fine with that... but now that im going with my mother feels different for some reason and i feel really guilty. i dont know what the question is but i just want reassurance that what im doing is ok and its not nasty to both parents if i choose to stay or go! also what would you do in my situation!? please let me know what you think!

Well from what you've said, I would stay.
If you don't want to leave you Dad so you can improve your relationship and you don't want to work for your mother so you can become Cabin Crew, then it just seems like you'd be better staying and then you get to go visit your mother in the sun every now and then.

Assuming you are a grown man, I'd stay here if I were you.
It'd just seem strange moving with family if already an adult.
And the work with your mum isn't what you want to do anyway.
But only you can decide.

Become cabin crew and get on a few flights heading to Florida.

Agree. My cousin works for Etihad as crew and she requests flights back to Dublin every month to see family and always gets them.
Once you're settled in the roster system is pretty fair and you can request certain flights every month and most people get what the ask for.

Yeah thats a thing, won't you get money off because of air miles/company discount or something?
And you wouldn't have to pay for accommodation.
Besides if it all goes tits up I'm sure if you ask you mum nicely then she could give you a job. Or would she take it as a personal slight that you didn't go over with her?

Although Florida might get requested a lot.

Now if your mum was going to live in Beruit....

I agree with CheryBoom Boom, sounds to me you already made up your mind.
I would stay.

The fact that your family is approved for immigration means you have the opportunity to establish the right to live and work in the US. You should consider that if you spend a bit of time doing that, you will then open up your future to options: living and working in the UK (and the EU) or the US.

There's no reason why you couldn't re-establish UK residency later, and be a steward with a UK-based airline (or Dubai? yeesh). You wouldn't know now whether it would be valuable to you in the future to work for a US-based carrier (or do something else in the US), so why limit your options? It's not like you won't make new friends in Florida, or that family in the UK will shun contact with you. Think some more on it.

This is a tough one.
I personally prefer living in the US than the UK (but then, I grew up here) and jdcyl makes a very good point about establishing residency in the US (green card or visa?) and opening your options for a lifetime (in the US, the UK and the EU).
On the other hand your improved relationship with your father sounds really important to me.

Can't advise. Sorry.
Read what everyone writes, but in the end it's a very personal decision for you and the decision is very much yours.

Where in Florida?

Move to America. Get cabin crew job with international airline. Visit UK whenever you like. Job's a good'un.

Cabin crew jobs aren't so easy to come by. One of our own took a cabin crew job with a major international airline, but it was a 6-month temporary contract which didn't get renewed. Times are hard.

The root of this question is: who are you? Are you an adult who should be making his own decisions or are you someone who needs his mother to decide things for him? If you're the second, then go to Florida and work for Mum. If you're your own man, then do what you want to, whatever that might turn out to be.

If you like the idea of living and working in Florida, then off you go. But be clear in your mind that you're doing that because you want to. And if you decide to stay in the UK and go for cabin crew, then - again - be clear it's because you want to. Do not be swayed by anyone's opinions but your own. It's your life, my friend, no-one else's. You have to live with your decision, no-one else does. That's what matters. And once you've decided, then go with it, keep with it with no regrets.

Good luck

Go with the cabin crew. I worked for Gulf Air out of Bahrain for three years. We got two free flights a year and as many HEAVILY discouted ones as we wanted with any airline. The only restriction was the time off to use them. All the major hotels give you 50% discount sor go for it! Some of the happiest times in my life.
