ENGINNERING
ON THE
MOVE
W
Want to see the world and add
getting paid into the bargain? You
could do worse than to check out
opportunities in the travel sector…
hen we think about what makes a dream
job, “plenty of travel” often comes high up
on our lists. And that shouldn’t be a surprise: just
think about how much of our own money we spend
travelling for pleasure and then imagine earning cash
for travelling instead! And they do say “variety is the
spice of life” after all, so the prospect of seeing new
places and getting paid for the privilege is certainly
an attractive one for many of us. But it’s not just the
perks that make travel such a great field to work in:
demand is higher than ever, with the global travel
industry worth an incredible one trillion dollars
(about £650 billion) in 2011 and with over a billion
international tourism arrivals taking place last year.
Yes, times are tough, but any industry of this scale
offers huge opportunities. What’s more, the diversity
of jobs within the sector is huge: from waiter and
stewardess to pilot and ship’s captain, from travel
agent to tour guide, from check-in assistant to
global marketing executive – there really is
something for everyone.

UP IN THE AIR
Say “travel industry” and for many
people aviation immediately springs to
mind, partly because it’s by far and away
the most popular form of international
travel and partly because since the dawn
of passenger flight this sector has worked
very hard to establish an aura of glamour
and sophistication. Just look at a typical
ad for an airline, for instance: ridiculously
attractive staff, often pouring champagne or
plumping up a pillow or two (which really bears
very little resemblance to the economy-class travel
most of us enjoy – or endure). This is still seen as a
lifestyle industry and our familiarity with it means
we all probably have a few preconceptions about
certain jobs in this business.
