How does a person become an independent travel agent?

I am looking for the following information:

General cost of courses
Length of courses
The amount of money (generally) a travel agent makes yearly
Is there a high and low season for travel agents?
When you are independent, do you work through an established agency for a fee?

Last but not least, if you have any websites that go into good detail, that would be helpful. My husband brought it up and I’m checking it out. Thanks.

I’m trying to plan a trip to Europe this Christmas. I’m finding it increasingly difficult to do all the planning by myself. I don’t have very much money, so I’m wondering if I can afford a travel agent or not.

Thinking of taking an online course through Penn Foster for the travel industry to become a travel agent. Thinking of stopping by a local travel agency to ask them questions. But thought I would ask here first. Any travel agents out there? How much do you make?

They claimed that the airline has a black-out date for travel agents for the flight that I’m booked on and want several hundred more dollars. They told me this after the ticket was already issued, then had it voided. Can they do this (legally)? What can I do to make them honor their original price?

I’m planning to do a Diploma of Tourism Management and am interested to hear unusual positions or jobs to gain experience. I know of the common jobs like ticket sales, travel agents, tour guides. Anything you’ve experienced when travelling or touristing that would be an amazing job?
