I've come across jobs like this a handful of times, and I'm all for it. Normally they entail training and require travel to a unique work site every week. Normally they pay pretty well if only because of amount of hours. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding jobs like this -- entry-level jobs that require travel each week.

I'm super open-minded in terms of the actual job, by the way. I have a Bachelor's degree, but nothing super special.

Field merchandiser or field installation technician would be a couple that you could look into.

I was a field merchandiser back when I was 19 and loved it I was on the road all of the time.

The field installation technician is something that my younger brother did; involved delivering printers and installing them at customers' sites. He went to different places all of the time.

These are exactly the kinds of things that I was looking for. Thanks, Marie!

Does anyone have any additional suggestions? I’ve come across a few that involve traveling internationally over the years, but my memory isn’t serving me well here. Thanks again.

Auditor for government agencies.
Bank examiners.

But since they're entry level jobs, they will require experience. And government jobs - you better be a veteran.

Flight attendants. As others said sales, but sales is miserable work (I've done it). Trucker. Courier.

Auditing in the private sector too, but you obviously need the degree and internships help too.

That said, I can't imagine a more mind-numbingly boring job than working as an auditor. I know because I've done it and it sucked. But yes, you will travel.

Thank you all for these wonderful suggestions!

It's too bad that I don't have the right temperament for sales. (I've tried it.)

As for being an auditor - I've always said that boredom is the best problem in the world. ;-)

Does anyone have any particular suggestions for finding auditor, service tech or courier jobs? With service techs in particular, being a broad category, I'm not sure where to begin other than just searching "field technician" or something along those lines. Thanks!
