Angela’s Answer

I worked in the cruise industry for a few years and it was wonderful getting to see the world. There are many options from there, as I had friends that went on to work in the small exclusive cruise lines, as tour directors/guides, tour companies, etc. Another great experience was completing my internship at Disneyworld, where I met many people that loved to travel. Fun to have a network of "travel" people.

I initially found my cruise job on a website called www.CoolWorks.com. Good luck!

Best job while travelling is that of a national geographic photographer or a journalist. If you are good in making videos then you can also be a cinematographer

Priya’s Answer

Jobs that allow you to travel don’t just include remote or work-from-home opportunities. You can also earn a living by choosing employment that requires travel as part of the job’s duties. Business professionals often have to travel to meet new and existing clients or to attend conferences or close sales deals.

Jobs that require travel or allow you to travel as you work, so you can get out there and start adventuring.

A career in consulting may be a good option for you, as there is a wide range of specialties you can focus in based upon your interests, which may include working outdoors. Environmental consulting for chemical plants is one that comes to mind, but the possibilities are endless.

Raymond’s Answer

Actually yes there is a place to travel extensively, work outdoors and make really good money as well. My brother just retired from the oil industry as an engineer specializing in bringing old wells to life. He has lived in several countries including China, Russia, Ireland and just came home to Texas from Bucharest. He is now very comfortably retired. He received a degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Texas and started out working oil fields in east Texas.
So finish your education and apply your knowledge and you can do that as well.

Raymond recommends the following next steps:

Finish your education and concentrating on something you would love to do.
Make as many contacts and research whatever it is you choose as your life's ambitiion.

Chelsea’s Answer

One of the great perks of working in the sports industry is that many roles allow you to work in untraditional settings, breaking the confines of a normal 9-5 desk job. While that often means working long hours, it is worth it if you value the ability to travel and work outdoors. Some of the roles in the golf industry that involve travel and time outdoors include: rules officials, agronomists, tournament directors, operations staff, caterers, media officials, broadcasters, reporters, coaches, trainers and agents.

Joju’s Answer

Ryan,

There are several good suggestions ahead of this. There is an NGO opportunity that I know of and personally know the person who worked for the organization. The experience bolstered the opportunity for this person to get in to the MBA program at Columbia University.

• For those interested in embedding travel into their career experience, I'd highly recommend working for international NGOs, like One Acre Fund. I personally someone who worked for One Acre Fund for 2.5 years in a small East African country called, Burundi.

• One Acre Fund is a non-profit organization that provides smallholder farmers with financing and agricultural training to lift farmers out of poverty. The organization is based in East Africa and now serves 1 million farmers across multiple program countries. The model is straightforward - impoverished farmers need access to high-quality fertilizer, seeds and other farming inputs, but often cannot easily access or afford these items all at once. One Acre Fund offers these products on credit to farmers with a flexible repayment program, while also offering delivery within walking distance to client farms.

• From my understanding from this person, working for One Acre Fund was an incredible early career opportunity to gain both international experience and start-up experience with a fast-paced team. This person served as a Program Manager of our Monitoring and Evaluation team, which conducted rigorous surveys across 3,000 farmer clients every growing season to measure program impact. This was a great opportunity to learn more about statistical modeling, coding, agricultural science, team management, and so much more. This variety of skills and experiences allowed this person to build a strong foundation as the next step to an MBA at Columbia Business School.

Let me know if you are interested, I can put in touch with this individual. Wish you all the best!!
