<p>Teach English abroad, everyone I know that did that traveled a ton, and had the time off work in between school semesters to do that (most entry-level workers get 5-10 vacay days a year, that’s it)…</p>
<p>Otherwise, here’s the thing. Almost everyone wants to travel a lot. And companies really aren’t that interested in paying a 23 year old with no real experience to travel a lot. If you get a job with a consulting firm and staying several years, you might get the chance to travel some, but no guarantee.</p>
<p>consulting firm?</p>
<p>don’t I need like an Ivy League degree or a degree from a very prestigious university for that?</p>
<p>For the most part, yes. </p>
<p>Frankly, your odds of getting a job right out of college that allows you to travel a lot aren’t so great. The median salary for a college grad is about $30k. After taxes, that’s about 2-grand a month, hardly much at all to travel on. Also, the majority of normal jobs after college will give you very few vacation days (5-10 days a year, max).</p>
<p>If you really really want to travel the world a lot over the next couple years, I HIGHLY recommend going abroad to teach English. There’s no other job that gives you the time-flexibility to travel, and certain countries (especially in the Middle East) pay really well, allowing you plenty of money to save to travel.</p>
<p>The other thing is, business travel really doesn’t give you time to “enjoy” the places you’re traveling to.</p>
<p>I spent three years doing PR consulting for an international auto racing team. Traveled 100,000 miles a year throughout North America, from Montreal to Miami, Indianapolis to Mexico City. I can tell you a whole lot about all the hotels, airport lounges and restaurants - but they all start to blend together after awhile. The Red Carpet Club in O’Hare isn’t much different from the US Airways Club in Charlotte. Every Hampton Inn is interchangeable. That’s about all I had time to see - when you’re traveling to work, you’re still working, and they’re not paying for sightseeing trips.</p>
<p>That’s not to say business travel can’t be fun, interesting and worthwhile. I don’t regret living out of a suitcase for a few years. But it’s not what the movies make it look like, either.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m not a huge fan of business travel either. I’ve seen a few airports and hotels, like polarscribe, and I have also had dinner at a few interesting suburban restaurants on clients’ dimes, but that’s about the extent of it. The best way for you to have fun if you are a business traveler is to hope that you get a stint where you are on site a full week and then the following Monday, as you could make the case to stay for the weekend or to go somewhere else for the weekend instead of flying home.</p>
<p>But otherwise, business travel just means that you in a hotel with not all that much to do besides work.</p>
