<p>Looking at deciding a major, I only really know that I wanna be one of those people at the airport. Dressed up, bluetooth in, only a carry-on, flying from place to place for work. How do I get there? What do I major in? What kind of job is this?</p>
<p>Work for a hotel company in marketing.</p>
<p>You may think now that you want to do that, but give it some time. I work forty hours a week while attending school and dont get to spend as much time with people I care about as I would like. I have to imagine that constant travelling would put a strain on all your relationships</p>
<p>People who travel extensively for work do get paid more, on the other hand. You could retire early and do something that you actually like</p>
<p>People who travel extensively for work do NOT necessarily get paid more. While they have lower expenses, the toll extensive travel takes on individuals can be tough. </p>
<p>If you want travel, consulting is probably the industry for you. Standard practice is Mon-Thu on client site and Fri in your home office. That said, I can say from experience that living out of a suitcase is not all that glamorous … you don’t get to see new places. You actually just see new airports, hotels and office buildings, and I can tell you right now that an office building in LA is pretty similar to an office building in NY.</p>
<p>alternatively you could look at things like the State Department, if you want longer term traveling</p>
<p>You can also travel if you do sales. Most of the technical salespeople I deal with are reps for about half the country, so they travel pretty often. I agree with chrisw for the most part about travel not actually being that sexy, though. My dad had a job where he was traveling at least half the month, often to non-sexy destinations (at least, I don’t think the USSR was a popular place to be as an American in the 80s), and it definitely took a toll on his health.</p>
