What jobs requite tons of international travel?

…or the merchant marine. I’m a sailor, and I’ve been to over 40 counries in the last few years. I work for an environmental organization, and there are people on board with all sorts of degrees.

I don’t want to hijack your thread, but I’m curious–what organization do you work for? If all goes well, I’ll have a master’s soon, and my research is in forest ecology. I’m pretty passionate about my field, I love to travel, and I love learning different languages. An environmental job that involves going to a bunch of different countries sounds wonderful.

My first sentence should have read, “I don’t want to hijack this thread…” I know that peculiar hailstone isn’t the OP.

My sister works for the US Army, and is involved with purchasing medical equipment for the Army hospitals and bases around the world. She travels around the world a lot.

And remember, you can work FOR the Army, and not be IN the Army!

I’d vote for the Air Force.

Why don’t you check out the various online job searches for int’l jobs? This will give you an idea of what’s out there.

Then there are a series of questions you need to ask yourself: Do you just want to travel or do you want to settle down some place for a few years? What type of travel do you want to experience? Europe, Asia, Latin America… Africa where I have spent more than half of my professional life [public health]? It helps to have an idea of what you want [permanent or part time], is this going to be your professional career, where do you want to travel…

In 1990 I found a small firm with international operations. 14 years later, I have worked in eight countries, on five continents, while collecting over 200 passport stamps and 3.5 milliion frequent flyer miles.

Often, the willingness to travel internationally for work translates to pretty good pay. In my case the pay was OK, but I didn’t spend as much as other people because I was typically living on an expense account.

I love international work.

I would like to hijack this thread and ask a serious question that has been bothering me for long enough:

**What, dear Og, is a Frumious Bandersnatch? **

End my misery.

I have had much the same desire to travel, im almost done a double honours in archaeology and classical studies, am fluent in english, german, spanish. I was thinking, what about working as a photographer for magazines such as National geographic, or something of that sort???
Thats teh best I could come up with short of being filthy rich and not having to worry about cash

The Minot-Munich Principle:

Any military service that advertises highly desirable duty stations has an equal or greater number of undesirable duty stations. For example, the U.S. Air Force has a substantial presence in Munich, Germany. The U.S. Air Force also has a substantial presence in Minot, North Dakota.
