Getting Jobs That Involve Travel Could Expand Your Experiences

By Zelma Hurley


The number of jobs, available to anyone, is a very large number, indeed. Many of them require the person to sit at a desk all day. Some of them need the person holding it to get smelly and dirty. Some of them are not very much fun. Many others are jobs that involve travel. These are the ones finding the employee or independent contractor running around and having a little fun at the same time.

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.

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.

The many people who serve as roving supervisors for service companies will also qualify as this type of traveling job. Custodial cleaning companies need people to move around, checking on cleaners and help them with various tasks. Certified Public accountants spend a lot of time on the road especially if they are self employed.

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.

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.

Being a consultant about some specific process or piece of equipment brings with it a responsibility to go wherever you need to ensure your clients know what they can do with it and how it saves time and money or trouble. An Au pair goes where they kids are and, often, this is to other countries. Photographers, writers and freelance specialists, of any kind, need to be on the go all of the time or they miss opportunities.

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.
