Is there something you just really enjoy doing? For example, working with computers. How about something you just have a knack for; a skill; a forte? I say make a list of these things and consider talking to a career counselor and a therapist about this and your difficulties socializing. It is a very difficult economy and a lot of people will try to dog you but ignore them and do your best! You say you have no family connections, what about friends or neighbors?
And just how does one become a flight attendant? I heard it was almost impossible to get a flight attendant job without a degree or foreign language. I was actually considering the flight attendent position at one time and gave up as there were basically NO jobs available.

You only deal with a crew for one month, then you get a whole different crew the next month. If you work on call, you never work with the same people at all...so even if you have horrible people skills, as long as you are nice, show up to work on time, and do your job...no problems...you don't have to maintain long relationships with anyone.
But if you really have social problems, work night crew at a prison, you don't have to talk to anyone at all. Or another good job, is to be a snow cat operator, you work at night, in your own snow cat, grooming runs for ski areas, you never talk to anyone, your boss just hands you a schedule...
What would be the best paying career path for someone who is hard working but not born very bright when it comes to dealing with people (and is willing to work his/her best to overcome this natural weakness)? Assume this person has no family connections to speak of either.
For such and all others, The best career is the one he or she is interested in... He needs to work on what discrepancy he thinks is having. Every path is yours then!
