<p>Be careful what you wish for - travel often seems to entail nightmarish trips squeezed into the middle seat in the last row of coach, sitting between a talkative granny and a mom with screaming baby. Or eating junk out of an airport vending machine at 11 PM because your flight is delayed again and everything in the airport is closed... ;)</p>
<p>That's not to say business travel is all bad - once in a while you may be able to wrap up a meeting early and actually see something beyond the insides of taxis and offices. But until you reach a career status that allows unhurried travel, preferably in first class, you may find the appeal of business travel wears thin quickly.</p>
<p>If you ARE able to find a situation that lets you travel, try to take advantage of it. Sometimes by extending a trip to include a weekend, for example, you can save more than enough to pay for an extra day or two in a hotel. You get to soak up some local atmosphere, and the company saves money - win/win.</p>
<p>Sales is one career that often involves travel, although most salespeople (particularly new ones) work in a specific geographic area.</p>
<p>Technical experts in a variety of fields get to travel to help customers, supervise installations, troubleshoot problems. Willingness to travel can often help land a job, since many employees have family or personal obligations that make travel undesirable. Put "willing to travel" on your resume... :)</p>
