I suggest you start thinking of setting up your own travel agency! You will be better paid and get satisfaction better. Working for someone else means you are the donkey the propriator rides on on the way to wealth. I have a friend who owns one :)

For a class once I had to do a report on several different industries/jobs that were of interest to me. At the time one of those was a travel agent. So for the project I had to interview several different people about the industry/job. So I will tell you what I learned about the travel agent part of your question.\n\nAt the time I assumed that being a travel agent was pretty easy and you basically planned vacations and took your own. Well, I was completely wrong. The agents I talked to said that the hours were usually very long and there was always something left to do that you couldn't all get done during the work day. They worked so much that they really didn't have time to do much travelling of their own. \n\nSince you are wanting to work from home I assume your only option would be to be an online agent. Which, from what I was told is even harder than working in an actual building. For one thing, they don't work with an hourly wage, so you can work a whole day and not make anything. Plus, you really need to study up on the destinations you are wanting to sell, and therefore you definitely should visit the area.\n\nI know from experience that the online agent I use works endless hours. I usually e-mail her during the day, but there has been a few situations where I sent her an e-mail late at night with a question, not knowing she would answer me back within a few minutes. Plus, there is a lot of competition for you. Unfortunately a lot of people don't see the benefit of using a travel agent anymore. Even though a lot of people have had bad experiences using sites like Orbitz, Expedia, etc. people would still rather save money than using an agent that knows the destination really well. So in order to get someone to book a trip with you, you really need to offer a lot of service and offer something that others don't. It can be a really hard industry to succeed in. But if you are willing to work really hard and know what you are selling, you could be very successful in. \n\nNow, the real estate agent part may be an option. But the thing here is that you will need to go to school and pass some tests and other things before getting your license. Plus, you won't be able to work from home as easily. Though I think you would be able to set your hours a little easier. But as with the travel agent, you are going to have a lot of competition, so you need to be better than everyone else or it can be really difficult to be successful. The one benefit of a travel agent over a real estate agent is that the schooling isn't as necessary for the travel agent as a real estate agent. While it is a really good idea to do, it isn't something you have to do in order to work in the field. \n\nThis is just what I have heard about each industry. Obviously you will know what is best for you. Hopefully you will be able to find some of the travel agents and real estate agents that on Answers. If you don't find anyone on here that actually works in the areas you are interested in, I would recommend contacting some in your area to ask them your experiences. They will be able to help you out a loe. I know when I talked with people that worked in the fields I was interested in, they were able to explain to me both the good and the bad of their job.\n\nHope this helps!

I went to college and got a degree. But you dont have to. Some of the larger Travel Agencys have in house training.  However if you already are trained there is no need for there schooling (and a lot of time they will charge you for it) plus you can demand more money because of your education.  It is a great career, FREE travel is the best.  Corporate Travel is better then Leisure travel for me.  Because you are dealing with people who are not dealing with there own money so they are not shopping around and will go some place else for $5.00 cheaper.  Good Luck

An almost perfect job would be a Night Auditor at a hotel; you dont really deal with any guests at night. I found it perfect for me to study, surf online all night, and get breakfast on my way out too.

Hotels are going up everywhere and there are so many different jobs that you can get in the hospitality field.  The main thing to think about when considering hotel management is to start getting experience in many entry level positions so that you have a working knowledge of many departments within the hotel industry.  For example, you might consider working at the front desk for a little while, housekeeping for a little while, accounting, night auditor position, and then eventually qualify for a front desk supervisor, assistant general manager, and then up to a hotel manager.  But, you might consider getting experience in order to be in the upper levels of management that provide a decent standard of living.  It depends on where you may want to live as well.  If you are someone who does not mind travelling and is willing to relocate virtually anywhere, then hotel/hospitality is the industry for you.  There is always something fun, new and happening in hospitality.  It also depends upon what kind of hotel you may be looking to manage.  There are budget hotels like Microtel, Fairfield Inn, etc. that have a limited number of positions-housekeeping, front desk, manager, etc., but when you get into the full service hotels such as Hilton, Marriott, etc., you will also have a restaurant which provides many more positions.  In order to be a manager of a hotel, you will need to have some experience in these areas.  Another thing to keep in mind is that a hotel operates 24/7.  It never closes...and you have to consider that when planning for holidays, etc.  It's not a 9-5 job...you pretty much have to make yourself available 24/7 in case there is an emergency.  I'm not discouraging you from trying hotel management, I'm simply trying to help you understand some of the realities that I have encountered during my hospitality employment.

Consider building base stations for GSM operators.  It pays well and you get to travel often.  You should start by taking safety courses in climbing and being proficient at reading maps.\n\nAt entry level, you might have to start with line-of-sight surveys, but you will work your way up (after a few years) to managing multiple installations.\n\nProbably Tata has a subsidiary in that field.

An executive secretary usually already earn a lot of money.\nBut any way, I would like to try to give you an idea.\nFirst make a list of your (real) potential ability, in what area you are potentially strong!\nThen you have to evaluate by yourself and you must be honest, whether you have sales or marketing ability. This is the most important!!!!!\nIf you do not have, you have to have a partner who can sales and markets (it means that you profit is less)\nThen make a list where can you get the capital, working capital, investment capital (building and machinery), and how much capital (total) do you needed.\nIf all is OK, then you make a PLAN, then fill in the BUDGET,\nIf this OK, start to work it down, be FOCUS! A good bussines usually will show up after two years, you can feel is it profitable or not!\nI suggest you started in the field of HOSPITALITY (hotel, restaurant, travel agent etc., etc.,) as Egypt is a place where tourism is very potential.
