Getting Jobs That Involve Travel Could Expand Your Experiences

By Zelma Hurley


There are many different types of jobs. There are those requiring you to get dirty and smelly. Some jobs have you sitting at a desk, all day. Many of them have you on your feet, such as a cashier or pharmacy technician. Then there are some of the more fun jobs that involve travel. These will get you going in many different directions from time to time and actually may be an education.

One of those jobs, of course, is as a travel agent. Many people assume all you have to do on this job would be to sit at a desk and send people to faraway places. This would not be true as most employees must go to a few of these places just so they know how and when the best trips are handled. Getting away, while on the job, is all part of the enjoyment of this position.

When you work as a traveling salesmen, the trips are expressed in the name. There will be the requirement to move from city to city, state to state or across the globe. The products or services you represent will largely determine where you go and what you do, however, this, in and of itself, presents a lot of educational opportunities.

Custodial companies and many other service businesses have need for people to move around as roving supervisors. Janitorial companies need these folks to supervise and assist in different tasks and accountants will often use a car, instead of a computer, to maintain control of clients accounts. Just about any service company needs people that will be on the road, handling affairs.

Taking an eighteen wheeler and propelling it down the road is fun for the right person or team. Hotels every night is what a lot of people enjoy and there is a lot of them from point A to point B. This type of job is not for everyone and special licenses are required, but, as far as moving around is concerned, this is the position to have.

Retail buyers are always going to locations to search for products to sell and flight attendants help others fly safely. Traveling nurses are always on the go as they can be in many different places depending on where they are sent. Tour guides must be knowledgeable about a lot of places which means they need to go to a lot of places, before they tell others about them.

Other positions will also require additional training or education, often a college degree, include traveling nurse, a consultant for various disciplines, Au pair and a geologist. Some of these occupations can be pursued only while traveling around are photographers, writers, international aid workers or English teachers.

The amount of driving a lot of people have to do just to get to work at a desk, is not what is meant when talking about jobs requiring traveling. Many people enjoy the idea of doing this while working. They like the freedom and liberty to move about the country or world and also, in many cases, the fresh air of which that cubicle dweller does not get much.
