Consider pursuing a career in law or criminal justice, like becoming a lawyer, judge, or clerk. Attending schools in Washington, DC, could be a great choice for this path.
but I don't want to do a lot of school I hate education like sitting in a classroom

Hi Jaxson. Justice, money, and travel ... Oh my. If I were you, I'd try to pin those down a little more. Money for instance: how much? what lifestyle do you imagine? Can you save, or do you like to spend? How focused on money and finances do you want to be? Be honest with yourself, no one can answer this for you.
Looking at justice, this could take many difference angles. Law is the obvious one, and this alone gives you a lot of choice in how to apply it. But, NGOs, politics, even teaching can all touch on justice. Working for the Red Cross, the military, law enforcement, international development, Peace Corps. Any of the arts can be expressions of justice. So, again I'd do some exploration. Are you thinking of justice in a particular context? Is it more theoretical or practical? How much do you like being with or relating to (or serving) other people? The answers should point you in some potential directions.
Finally, travel. This is the one thing that I think can take care of itself, if you chose your other options well. You'll know whether any job you take has travel potential, or probability. Note that a lot of law is not mobile -- it is rooted in a country or jurisdiction. If travel is the most important of your three values, prioritise skills and abilities that are transferrable to other countries, other languages. Possibly something you can do freelance. If you're attracted to particular places, start learning the language and the culture. Go live there for a while, buddy up with someone, get some exposure.
Whatever you do, trust your gut instinct and go for it! Good luck.

One path you may not have considered is accounting, audit, or risk advisory, especially at a consulting or professional services firm. If “justice” matters to you, those careers are really about protecting trust: making sure companies report information honestly, follow rules, manage risk, and are accountable to investors, employees, and the public.
They also align well with money because accounting, audit, and advisory remain in high demand, and employers are still dealing with talent shortages, which has helped keep pay competitive.
On travel, it depends on the role, but client-service jobs in audit, advisory, internal audit, and risk consulting can involve travel to client sites, and some career paths can expand into cross-border work, international compliance, or mobility-related services.
I recommend looking up roles like:
Audit Associate
Risk Advisory Analyst
Internal Audit Consultant
Forensic Accountant
Compliance Consultant
Accounting Advisory Analyst
International Tax or Mobility Analyst
A nice bonus is that firms increasingly want people who can combine business judgment with data, technology, and AI literacy, so the work can open doors into consulting, investigations, governance, and strategy over time.
