Major / career with a lot of travel?

<p>I'm trying to find a career. Something that lets me travel and live in various countries for months at a time; I like to travel and want to see the world. Any ideas?</p>

<p>I think I-bankers travel a lot. I could be mistaken though</p>

<p>Geographers, Urban planners, nursing, teaching.</p>

<p>Military members :)</p>

<p>International relations
haha
i would say that is a given....journalism can involve lots of travel and moving around.
anything that is more service orient...like a UN career, or like World Health, Red Cross
those kinda of careers</p>

<p>Public health. There is an incredible amount of travel involved if you work in epidemiology of emerging diseases. Also, there are opportunities for sanitation projects, sexual health education, and a myriad of other projects could take you abroad. This is also an area that would allow for domestic positions if that is where your interests take you.</p>

<p>pandem, There are many, many career paths that would allow you to travel overseas or to live overseas. In fact, I can't think of many professions that don't have an international dimension should you pursue that route. </p>

<p>The obvious is the foreign service, but actually most government agencies have international opportunities -- like the CIA, Commerce, USAID, Treasury. Add to that the plethora of non-governmental organizations in every imaginable focus.</p>

<p>Business too is largely international. American companies buy and sell abroad and regularly send workers overseas to manage their businesses. </p>

<p>Same goes for engineers, lawyers, doctors, accountants, teachers, architects, ad writers, graphic artists, technicians of all kind. Most professions that you can hold in the US can be transported to a foreign country, but you have to have the skills and experience in order to get your foot in the door.</p>

<p>So my advice to you is to think about your career path first, then take that general direction and steer toward the part of the world that interests you. Language skills are a plus. Do your study abroad in that area or get a travel/study grant for independent travel.</p>

<p>I've worked in international business for decades and have lived abroad for nearly 20 years, so I can empathize with your interest, but I think you need to focus on what and where appeals to YOU before you take any more random suggestions.</p>

<p>There are opportunities at all levels.</p>

<p>There's certainly the foreign service track.</p>

<p>My DD's best friend speaks several languages and makes a great post college living living as a high end tour guide. Between salary and tips she makes six figures.</p>

<p>At he high end is consulting. Become a world class level expert in some aspect of business and choose your projects.</p>
