Best Travel Infos

Bri asked:


I would love to travel for a job when I’m older, whats a job that isn’t too hard to get into that involves getting to travel around the world, that isn’t a flight attendant or a pilot etc.

I ‘finished high school yet and i live in Melbourne Australia

Also it would be better if the job involves the flights etc being paid for by whoever i work for.

Thanks!

I accepted a job a year ago that involved very little travel (10-20 days a year). Since then my job description has changed and my duties require me to travel 120 day per year or more, with trips sometimes lasting up to 3 weeks working an average of 15 hours per day, 6 or 7 days per week. Does anyone know of any resources that may help calculate an average of how much more travel jobs generally pay more than in office jobs.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Thanks for the input. In my experience if a company is hiring for two positions, same job,(ex. Project Manager) where one position works out of the office and the other is required to travel extensively, the pay for those two position will differ due simply to the fact that it there is a smaller pool of potential employees willing to travel when they can find a similar position at similar pay, that does not require travel.

In my case, I have colleagues with the same job and qualifications who aren’t required to travel and have a similar salary. This was justified when I was an office employee but now that I’m a travel employee and am required to travel extensively, it seems fair that I would be compensated at a higher level.

I’m going to ask for a raise, i just need to figure out how much and put together a justification to present to my boss, i.e. you’d have to pay X$ to hire for my original position and X% more to hire for my current travel position.

thanks

What type of education do you need to be a travel agent? Where can you study the program (like what type of schools/where, etc.)? Do you get a certificate, degree, diploma? Are there any publications that might have job openings available in this field, or do you have to open your own business? (I never really see advertised travel agency job openings.) I have already graduated college but am considering a career change. This is something I’m curious about, so any info would be helpful.

I’m thinking of being a travel agent or a cruise consultant. I would rather get an on the job training instead of paying for school. Should I just call up each travel agency in my city?

All I know is that I’m passionate about travel and would love to explore the world. However, I’m not sure whether a career in travel would turn out to be a positive option.
Is it better to travel on the job and work during the travels (such as a travel journalist), or simply have a well-paying job which will enable me to travel on vacation time?

If you find a career in travel to be fulfilling, do you have any job suggestions?

Is 2106EZ the correct form to figure my travel expenses, after I calculate the total mileage from my odometer, when traveling from job A to job B. Should I use part 1 and part 2 for this?

There is a project that requires several trips over the course of a two month period. The employee has blacked out 5 weeks that they are unable to travel due to lack of childcare which will cause major project delays. Specific meetings have not been scheduled so the employee has not outright refused travel but we would like communicate that lack of childcare is not an acceptable reason for not traveling. All meetings are scheduled with a minimum of two weeks notice so adequate time is being given for arrangements to be made on the employee’s part.
