I have almost completed my graduation, college is over, final exams are going. So of course like every other human being im thinking about my future. Im doing my graduation in Multimedia and Animation, and i love it, because i love drawing, designing stuff and doing some short animations. I also love Nature photography, which involves traveling, luckily being from north India, I get lots of chances to see beautiful places. I love traveling, learning about different cultures and traditions. Which also inspire me and my creativity. So i was thinking to do a job which involves travelling to different places, i dont care about money that much as long as they cover my travelling expenses. I have some options like Modeling and Photography, but i dont think im ready to get paid for them, because these fields require experience and im still a fresher. So i would love to hear your suggestions, about jobs involving travelling.

You need to make contacts in the trade and see whats availalbe as most jobs never even get publicised.The other option is to go self employed and sell you wares on the open market.

become a retail data agent...

they collect pricing data for stores and we often travel.

let's say if store a wanted to know wal mart's prices on cat food then they would consult my company to gather wal-marts pricing data on the cat food, as well as lots of other items.

we often work undercover, but many stores are open scan.

we often travel and hotels are covered as well as meals up to 30USD/person.


see if there's a company like mine around....

I think you mean travelling abroad, right? Not just around your country or area. I don't know if there's a job like that, except maybe rock/pop star how's your singing?
No, but seriously, like you said to do something like that you would need years of experience and a pretty good resume. There are however some jobs that you can pretty much do anywhere in the world and that mostly require just a good level of english. Sadly they're not related to your field of study or your hobby. I mean jobs related to tourism, like working at a hotel, restaurant/bar or stores aimed at tourists.

Both, India is big country and after every 10 km culture and language changes, so Abroad and my country both are on list. Im terrible singer, so no pop career !
Photography is really awesome field but like i said it needs years of experience, Modeling also provides opportunities for traveling, but again you need experience and contacts which will take time. My English is good, I have worked with many clients from different countries and no one ever complained about my English. If i complete MFA after my graduation, i can get lecturer job easily in colleges, my relative is already working in Australia as lecturer in Fine arts department.
So to work in hotels or restaurants, i need some special kind of diploma? Hotel management courses?

Lecturing could be good! Have you looked into that?
About the rest, a diploma always helps, but you don't have to. Of course you wouldn't start with a high position, but maybe at a hotel you could attend the front desk or something. If you're good you might get promoted after a while!

Yeah i have thought about lecturing before, i'm open for other options too. Due to financial problems i have decided to do my Post graduation after 1 year, i'll work this year to save money for Post graduation. About the soldier part, i'll hardly get a chance to go somewhere or do boom boom stuff as Indian army isnt between any war with other countries!
