When travel is such an integral part of your life through your work rhythm, it can become a challenge maintaining a non-jaded perspective. I still can't explain to my dad why travel isn't as glamorous as he thinks, not even when I describe how my acquaintance with many destinations is mostly confined to the airport, my hotel, and the client's premises.Originally posted by Lobster View PostAlthough I have enjoyed my travel do think carefully about it there are some big downfalls. As JJPB3 says quite often on a business trip you will see nothing more than the hotel, airport and office.
On any trip there is never enough time to do the work that needs to be done so you end up working long long hours. Plus as you are away a lot it pays havoc with your social life back home.

"IT support" for a UK educational institute.
No real travel involved, but until the now, the salary was generous, the 27 days annual leave plus 8 stats rather useful and the workload fairly low most of the time.
If you want a really great deal, become an Academic/Lecturer - 4-6 hours max teaching time per week, the rest of the time, you don't even have to be in the building, 3 months 'off' over summer, 1 month off in winter...£35K plus. With all the free time, you could 'top-up' with lucrative consultancy work or private tuition........If God had really intended men to fly, he'd make it easier to get to the airport.

This is a very stable, almost recession proof career. But medical practice is nothing like House. Haha....
