What are some unique, high-paying jobs that involve travel?
I spent ~3 years in Management Consulting, and in that time:Took 2 or more flights a week for ~50 weeks a year. At a minimum, spent time in two cities a week, sometimes three. The craziest week I had involved four cities in three different countries.Traveled throughout North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia for client work, including far-flung exotic countries most people have never heard of.Had quarterly training in cities around the country as well as abroad.Had some pretty unique itineraries e.g. once took a flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to Sint Maarten (in the Caribbean).Collected an absurd amount of airline, car rental and hotel points to last me multiple years of travels going forward.Yes you’re making less than your peers in finance, but for a first job out of college, it can be exhilarating and exciting. The job itself is obviously great training for a career, but specifically with regards to the travel opportunities there are very few jobs like it.Obviously all of this comes at an incredible cost. Yes it’s fancy to be by far the youngest person sitting in international business class….But you’re also the only one sitting on that plane building a financial model the entire time, landing and then going straight into a full work-day. Yes you are traveling to unique countries…but the client is paying quite a bit for your travel and expects results commensurate to that. Yes, you are probably staying in the nicest hotel in the nicest area of a fascinating city in some country…But you’re lucky if you get time to actually do anything in that city. It’s a stressful and demanding line of work; a couple years of doing this ages you a decade. You do eventually start to miss the stability of having a home life, which hits especially hard when you realize your social life is nonexistent after even just 12–18 months. Also, not all the travel is “sexy” - sometimes you might be staffed in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest, where the nearest healthy dining option is Chipotle.But that being said, Management Consulting is a good example of a “high-paying job that involves travel”!
Do jobs that make you travel pay more?
Most jobs that require travel would pay slightly more. Of course, your actual travel expenses are a separate issue; those would typically be covered 100% and would not be considered part of your salary.
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?
What jobs involves a lot of traveling?
a stewardess travels all over the world. So say if you were a stewardess on an airplane, and the flight you are working on, is going to paris. You literally get to stay in paris for a few days, until you have to go back on a different flight!
