Many of us would love the opportunity to explore different states across the US. However, we’re often restricted by our jobs. The solution to this is to get a job that enables you to travel across the country. Below are just some of the jobs that can help you travel around the US.
Flight Attendance
Becoming a flight attendant could allow you to take domestic flights across the country. You could even work for an international airline and use it as an opportunity to see the world. Granted, you won’t be able to spend much time in each location. However, exclusive discounts on flights could allow you to take advantage of cheap vacations when you’re not working. Having hospitality experience can be advantageous for getting into this career.
Interstate trucking
While some trucking jobs are limited to a certain state (intrastate), others may require you to make deliveries to anywhere in the country (interstate). This is a great chance to see the country if you don’t mind driving for hours at a time. Some trucking companies will even pay for hotels and meals along the way. Of course, you will need a Commercial Driver’s License to drive a truck.
Travel Nursing
If you are a nurse and you yearn to travel across the country, why not look into travel nursing? This job requires you to fill in various temporary nursing jobs across the country. This could give you experience of working and living in different states – and accommodation will often be paid for. Just be wary that you’ll need to be prepared to constantly adjust to new work environments. There are online agencies that you can use to seek out the best travel nursing positions.
Pharmaceutical Sales
There are many sales jobs that can require you to travel. Pharmaceutical sales is a popular option. This involves working for a certain pharmaceutical company and selling drugs to various clinics and health professionals across the country. It’s ideal if you’ve got a sales background already or experience in pharmaceutical marketing.
Archaeology
Archaeology involves the recovery and study of historical artifacts, buildings, and human remains. As an archaeologist, you may be sent to different sites across the country – or even across the world. It all depends on your area of expertise. You’ll usually need a degree in archaeology to get into this industry.
Festival Vending
Go to any festival and you’ll find food trucks and various stalls selling their goods. Such festival vendors often travel the country attending various festivals, concerts, and events. Such a job can take you to all kinds of places. Just be wary that you usually will have to be self-employed, which means paying for it all yourself.
Film Production
Film production crew often have to visit different locations across the country too. This could include camera operators, lighting operators, and make-up artists. Becoming an actor could help you to travel too depending on the type of acting you pursue. Of course, getting a job in film production is not easy and can require quite a lot of perseverance. Stage productions are an alternative option that could also enable you to travel.
