Your job isn’t what it used to be. The excitement and the challenges are gone. Still, it’s never too late to switch careers as long as you’ve got the patience and determination. If you’re well-traveled and possess above-average people skills, you could become a travel agent and put all that experience to good use.
Work from home
Forget about the daily grind when you set up shop at home. All you need is a decent internet connection and telephone (both landline and mobile). Find some good travel consultant online courses and complete them. Sign up with a travel publication to get updates about the travel industry.
Get a host with the most
Enlist the services of a credible online host agency to get your career off to a flying start. For a fee, they will provide all the online tools you need, from a booking engine to free web design. Their affiliations will be helpful in finding great deals for your customers. Just make sure they have accreditation from established organizations.
Enjoy the perks
Now the good stuff: travel agents enjoy free travel or reduced rates for business or pleasure. In addition, airlines and cruise lines will often sponsor what they call familiarization trips for travel agents to know what they are selling. Lastly, working for yourself will allow you to relocate anywhere you please. This mobility will open opportunities to expand your client base. Feels great to fly high in a career that loves you back, doesn’t it?
