I definitely think I need to try the hostessing thing, though.

You could become a travel photographer or sell travel (either work for AAA or start your own travel business. Don't forget about being a Cruise Director like Julie McCoy! Thanks for the list.

I wouldn't mind being a Diplomat. I'm good at leadership, and I love public speaking. Plus, I wouldn't mind meeting the Queen of England! Who knew that you could be a Japanese host/hostess. I often thought about becoming a tour guide in the UK. I thought I had a job as a tour guide with a company in AZ, but it did not happen. By the way, another travel job is to work on a cruise ship.

But don't you have to be, like, the most talented saxophonist ever to come out of Vermont to score one of those gigs? Right on Linda – I should have added cruise ships.

Hosts and hostesses probably get the most money, and are the most likely to become alcoholics. Good one, Tim.

Last time we met I was about to embark on my cruise adventure! Cruiselines are great for entertainers (myself), but also for anyone who can work in the hospitality industry. Casino dealers, bartenders, activities staff, and youth staff (daycare and youth activities) are easily trained jobs that pay well on ships. Cruise ships go to most destinations, just be prepared to do a less popular run on your first contract. I did 5 months in South America and 1 month in Alaska during my brief Cruise ship career and think it's great for those with a serious travel bug on a budget.
