I won’t be able to travel much with the typical engineering job that allows for only 2 weeks of vacation

Do not confuse vacation and business traveling. They are two totally different things. When you are sent away on a business trip it is to work, not go sightseeing. Any sightseeing you will do is a bonus.

While you may have time to see and do some things you want to, particularly on longer trips, you might be limited in what you can do due to time constraints. You may not be sent near any vacation hot spots. While you might dream of sipping drinks on a beach on Oahu, in reality I doubt that option will present itself, ever.
