Getting Jobs That Involve Travel Could Expand Your Experiences

By Zelma Hurley


When you think about all of the jobs there are, in the country, or world, you find some are dirty and some are just sitting at a computer screen all day. Some cause the person to get very dirty as they are cleaning things. Others will place this person on a chair at a desk or standing at a cash register. Others need that person to run around the country, doing and seeing things that others do not get a chance to do. Those would be jobs that involve travel.

A travel agent is a person who must move about the country or world a bit. They do more than simply sit behind a desk and send people out and about. They need to know about some of the places they suggest so their clients know how to do it properly. This is actually a pretty fun position to be in and the savings can help you enjoy the sights even more.

As a traveling salesman, the requirement for this is in the title. You may need to go from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city or state to state. As a representative of a company, you may also need to go to other countries, depending on the product and or service. As an executive assistant to a marketing professional, you will often go along with them or go before them to set things up and make connections he or she can follow up on.

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.

You will certainly be traveling if you are a long haul trucker. You might be on the road for weeks at a time, staying in hotels and getting your breakfast lunch and dinner at different places every meal. There are many trucking companies where you can apply and, if you have experience, this could be your fun way of seeing the sights.

There are numbers of other jobs allowing this running around and some, of course, require it. There are flight attendants who help passengers get someplace and traveling nurses who assist people who have to go somewhere else. Retail buyers must go to where the products are made to ensure quality of workmanship. Tour guides help people understand many places the tour guide has to go to first.

Consultants of all kinds are also on the go quite a bit. Knowing all about the latest piece of equipment or process for your industry would require trips to meet with people, or clients, that need to know about them. Being an Au Pair means going where the kids are. Photographers, writers and freelance artists need to be where they are doing their work about and that usually means a trip or two.

When people think about driving for work or taking trips, they do not consider the miles some have to go just to get to the office. Many people appreciate the freedom and liberty, not to mention the fresh air they get when out running around for work. The opportunities, the sights and the learning they accomplish is just icing on the cake of a fun job.
