It’s no
secret that many people prefer jobs where they travel to some place near their
homes for a few hours and then head back home at the end of the day. However,
careers in offices, factories, or other fixed locations aren’t for everyone.
You’re
likely reading this blog post today because you want a job where you aren’t
tied to a desk or have the same boring daily routine! With so many career
options out there, how do you know which one is right for you?
Take a look
at the following six inspirational career ideas for people who want to explore
the world around them and get paid for it:
1. Tour Guide
Do you live
near a famous city or area? If so, and you’re passionate about sharing your
knowledge of it with others, one idea is to become a tour guide. You’ll get
paid for giving tourists fun, educational commentary about points of interest.
As an
expert in your local area, you are well-placed to teach people all kinds of
fascinating facts, making each tour session an immersive and engaging
experience for everyone.
2. Trucker
One fact
you probably know about truckers is how they can spend days on end traveling to
all kinds of interesting destinations to deliver their cargo.
However,
what you may not know is that team truck drivers can take family members or
even pets with them! The life of a trucker doesn’t have to be a lonely one.
Truckers
get sent to all kinds of interesting and unique destinations - both
domestically and abroad.
3. Cruise Ship Crew
If the idea
of sitting and living in a truck for several days at a time isn’t for you,
perhaps sailing the high seas as part of a cruise ship’s crew could be a better
bet.
As a crew
member, your job is to ensure the safety and happiness of customers traveling
on your ship. But what’s great about your job is you get paid to visit the same
destinations as customers, rather than vice versa!
4. Flight Attendant
Traveling
to destinations by sea isn't for everyone. Thankfully, working as a flight
attendant is a realistic alternative to achieving the same goals and doing the
same work as a cruise ship crew member.
When you go
on long-haul flights to places like Thailand or Sydney as part of your work,
you'll often have a few rest days to explore the foreign lands you visit. Your
accommodation is usually covered, meaning all you have to spend money on is
food and transport!
5. Pet Transporter
Many people
move to new countries and take their pets with them. You can help bring joy
into each pet owner's life by reuniting them with their faithful companions
when you get a job as a pet transporter.
6. Delivery Person
Does the
idea of delivery cargo appeal to you, but you’d rather do your work locally? If
so, another option to consider is being a delivery person.
You could
deliver packages for companies like Amazon or even people’s groceries from your
local grocery store.
