I'd love to know about jobs that allow travel right after high school. Does anyone have experience with jobs that let you explore and work simultaneously? Any advice or leads would be awesome!
One option that comes to mind is working on a cruise ship. This could give you the opportunity to see various locations around the world while working. Positions can range from entertainment to hospitality, and oftentimes, room and board are included.
Another job that comes to mind is becoming a flight attendant. This role provides the chance to travel to different cities and even different countries depending on the airline. Keep in mind though, this line of work does require certification and training, and it might be more challenging to secure a job in this field right after high school.
If you're interested in service work, joining the Peace Corps can be an amazing opportunity to live and work abroad. While you generally need a Bachelor's degree to join, there's a program called Peace Corps Prep for individuals without a degree.
Additionally, teaching English abroad is often a good option. Many countries are eager for English speakers to teach their citizens, and often, you only need to be a native English speaker and possess a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification.
Lastly, consider a career in international business or working for a global company that has offices all over the world. Often, these companies look for employees who are willing to travel or relocate.
Before making a decision, consider what type of job you believe you would enjoy and prosper in. It's also important to research the requirements, challenges and opportunities each profession has to offer.
