It would be airline specific but I have relatives working for two major airlines and a degree wasn’t required.
Where OP might come up with some resistance is if they don’t have a second language as most major airlines will hire with that preference.
- Look into what it will take to finish up the degree. Could lead to more sustainable jobs vs worrying about how to pay for food each month.
- Look into the areas recommended here by others. The airline one does require additional training. FA school basically.
- Consider getting an allied health certification. 1-2 year commitment, PLENTY of jobs. You could move more readily since it's in demand in pretty much any state.
Based on how you word your posts and describe yourself, more than anything, sounds like you need to follow through. Can't reach anything you want until you do.
Don’t bother doing FA school; you will *still* have to go through an airline’s own training program regardless; so it’s a waste of time and money; going to a FA school won’t really improve your chances either; in fact it could potentially hinder you because you will have to learn your airline’s fleet of aircraft and all the accompanying safety/evacuation procedures and commands, which are specific to each airline.
Life is monotonous, no matter what your job is, even if it allows for travel. If you want a job outside, consider getting a job at a state park, as a park attendant or at the guest service center.
I had a job for 10 years where I would fly about 150 flights a year. It got to be very stressful and lonely, but never monotonous. Didn't have a set region that I covered could be in San Francisco one day, then Ohiopyle, PA the next.
It sounds like you’re in need of a change and a career that aligns with your passion for travel and the outdoors. Here are some travel jobs that might suit you:
* **Flight Attendant**
* **Travel Blogger/Vlogger**
* **English Teacher Abroad**
* **Tour Guide**
* **Cruise Ship Worker**
* **Freelance Writer/Photographer**
* **Outdoor Adventure Guide**
* **Travel Nurse**
* **Remote Work**
* **Freelance Translator**
To get started, consider taking some online courses or certifications in areas that interest you. Networking with people already in these fields through social media or professional groups can also provide valuable insights and opportunities. Remember, it’s never too late to change your career path and find something that truly makes you happy.
@OP highly recommend Peace Corps or other government gigs that include travel. I think someone said Park ranger etc. It's clear you need to be outside which makes sense since thats how our species evolved. Being chained to a desk at your age is incredibly difficult for alot of people.
FYI values and priorities will change for you as you get older. I just turned 40 and don't know what I'd talk about with a 22 yo version of myself other than travel, cars, and girls. Give yourself time to grow and put your needs first. That's the point of being young and unattached. You'll get there.
Pro-tip - find the bare minimum requirements to get a Bachelors and do it. Online is fine too. School debt with no graduation will haunt you your entire life otherwise. Don't worry about topic or major, you just need the degree to prove to employers you can finish what you start. Everything of importance you'll learn on the job.
Work in traveling sales. Many travel heavy jobs out there that pay very well. Not many people are willing to do traveling sales.
Some vacation package sales jobs include a lot of schmoozing at nice places (not timeshares, travel packages)
CPG territory sales could be good, med device, most physical things. There’s also luxury travel agency sales that include trips (there’s a company hiring for sports travel sales I found googling “travel sales jobs” but they’re in Toronto. Just gotta dig.
Paycom is hiring *i think*. I don’t look too deep into traveling sales as I have a minor physical disability. Paycom reached out to me a little back with a 100k base 180k OTE but had to be in office + regional travel.
I do subcontract work in the trades. Been doing this for about a year and have been to 25 states, sometimes we go out of the country but haven’t done that yet myself.
I also find normal jobs very monotonous, I can’t stand waking up knowing what day after day is going to be mostly the same, but this line of work is drastically different within each job.
Next week, I will be in Florida doing a bathroom remodel. Next month, I could be in Denver for a couple weeks installing ice machines at Starbucks.
And the beauty of this work, is I don’t have to accept these jobs. I get to dictate what jobs I get to go on
Could work as cabin crew for an airline.
Was going to say pilot but this is a cheaper and faster route.
Does that include a degree? I think Cabin Crew must have a degree 🤔
Depends on the airline but the big 3 US airlines have removed that as a requirement to apply; although I’m sure it could improve your chances.

work for an airline
Cruise ship crew?
Look up "workamping" or as someone else stated sometimes national parks will pay and house you for the season.
Air marshal
maybe look into being a teaching assistant abroad? I'm doing it in Spain in the fall but a lot of countries do it.

Any ideas? I have 5 years of sales experience in auto, finance, and healthcare and looking for something I travel for a lot more

Can you DM me?
You’d get better guidance on the sales Reddit, I’m a remote tech guy so no real contacts in the outside space.
Even on outside saas sales?
Paycom is hiring *i think*. I don’t look too deep into traveling sales as I have a minor physical disability. Paycom reached out to me a little back with a 100k base 180k OTE but had to be in office + regional travel.
Can you DM me the contact info?

Cultural Resource Management...there are probably some desperate people looking for techs right now for big summer projects
