Hi,

I am a recent college graduate with a BA in Psychology and Criminology minor. Are there any entry level jobs that I could get hired for that involve international travel? Or even domestic? I am dying to see the world and have always dreamed of seeing the world.

If you or your spouse has a job that requires travel, what do you do? Could you please give me tips on how to break in?

you can teach english in foreign countries. it does not require any qualifications (other than maybe a bachelor's, which you have)

for example, here is one for japan: http://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/JET/

im pretty sure there are more for japan too. not to mention ones for china, south korea, etc. and i am also pretty sure they have some for south america too. i think you would work by contract so every year you may or may not get renewed, but after your contract is up, you can move on to a different country to teach there


i found a website with a good amount of countries you can possibly teach at

I was actually thinking Japan, China, Hong Kong or even Thailand.

Amazon hires for seasonal warehouse employees for mid november thru december 23. It's $12.50 per hr in Fernley nevada. And a 50 cent bonus if you stay the whole time. Also 2 hrs of overtime per day as the shifts are 10 hrs Mon-Friday. They will want you to work at least part of the 6th day which is all overtime also. Amazon pays for the Campsite also. But not much to do there over the Winter, with all the snow and all. You could also apply for jobs at the ski resorts in Truckee thru Tahoe but the pay wouldn't be as good. Squaw Valley was hiring housekeepers for $12 per hour and it came with a free season pass with a spousal pass and childrens ski passes

How do you know OP lives anywhere near Northern Nevada? Who would travel to stay at a cold campsite for a month and be worked like a dog at warehouse for a month? lol.

As someone mentioned, look into a sales gig or teaching English overseas. Can get a job with the airlines... all sorts of jobs.

Or some of those asian countries you mentioned you could probably easily visit and get some short term work visa. Get a job at a tourist spot there catering to visitors from USA, europe etc.

Think outside the box. Save up some money. And try something out.
