What are some nice traveling careers?

What are some good jobs/careers for traveling?

  • I'm a 21 year old woman still living at home with my mother and stuck in a boring small town. I've always dreamed of getting out of here and traveling abroad to other countries (Japan, South America and Australia are the main three), but I lack the finances to do so. So I thought it would be a good idea to find a job/career that combines both the benefits of pay and travel, but the problem is that the career field that I'm most passionate about and always wanted to major in (Meteorology/Atmospheric Science) doesn't provide this opportunity, so unfortunately it seems like I'll have to switch to another field of interest. What are some good jobs/careers that would provide the best opportunities for travel?

  • Answer:

    Maybe see if you can be an *air stewards* not sure if that the right term for the pepole who serves you drinks on planes. Then you can travel for free. You also probaly have few days of layover if you plan right.

If you live close to a major airport (or a small airport that flies to a major airport), you can work in the airline industry and fly free (standby). I'm a customer service agent at Minneapolis-St. Paul International. I work 18 hours and week for low pay ($9/hr), but I've used almost $40,000 of flight benefits in only a few years. Can't beat this benefit in any job! I work on the ramp below the wings; other people work the gate and load the planes with passengers. Others cater or groom the aircraft between flights. My wife, parents and I (and if I had kids they would fly, too) have flown all over the world. Sydney, Australia; Belize, Central America; Managua, Nicaragua; London, England; and many times around the US to visit family or spend a day in Seattle or Washington D.C. or wherever we can find a few empty seats. Even with the restriction of standby flying, it's ridiculous how much we get to fly. http://www.regionalelite.com Alexandra, the correct term is flight attendant or FA, and yes, they often have nice layovers, although you would have to be a bit more experienced to be awarded a flight schedule to Sydney, Tokyo or, say, Buenos Aires in South America. Flight attendants will tell you some crazy stories. They earn low pay and work hard hours, but as they work their way up to higher seniority, they can get better pay and better routes with better hours. Four days on the job with no home time is very typical, just starting out, and don't expect great money, either. Flight attendants are paid for the time they are flying with the doors shut and also a small stipend for the time they are on duty (per diem). Think $25-30K for a regional airline and working up from there. If the airline industry is unappealing to you, the most-traveled passengers I see are sales managers and consultants and the like. They may enjoy being in an airport once or twice a week, but I know I am wired to only travel once per month, with an international trip every six months or so.

The major cruise lines offer opportunities. You might check with them and pursue opportunities for which you need to prepare and offer services. Good luck.
