The rapid pace of change across the workplace in recent years has been daunting for workers.A series of recent reports from LinkedIn News revealed that not only do 64% of workers feel overwhelmed by the onslaught of workplace shifts, but worker confidence surrounding the ability to hold onto a job has reached historic lows.Meanwhile, some industries and professions are experiencing tremendous growth at the moment, or something of a renaissance, in some cases. And as it turns out, the travel advisor profession is among them.According to LinkedIn’s research, the travel advisor profession is the fifth fastest growing line of work among 25 of the quickest growing jobs in the United States.Landing on the list (and among the top five, no less) puts travel advisors in the same company as rapidly growing fields like artificial intelligence engineer, artificial intelligence consultant, physical therapist, and workforce development manager — lines of work that ranked in slots one through four, respectively.While the LinkedIn article doesn’t delve into what makes travel advisor jobs such a hot commodity right now, it does identify some of the tasks that come with the profession (in case you’re considering a career change), noting that “Travel advisors help plan and book travel arrangements — including transportation, accommodations and activities — based on clients’ preferences and budgets.”The most common skills required to be a travel advisor, according to LinkedIn, include: travel planning, travel writing, and social media marketing. And the most common industries where travel advisors are employed include travel arrangements, hospitality, and insurance.LinkedIn research also reveals that most travel advisor jobs can be found in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The travel advisor field is also dominated by women: It’s currently 80 percent female and 20 percent male.These LinkedIn insights merely scratch the surface, however, when it comes to the travel advisor profession and its powerful growth. The bigger question inspired by the ranking, perhaps, is what makes travel advisor such an appealing career at this moment in time? What is attracting people to the job in droves? And beyond that, what do individuals who are already in the field think about the ranking? To answer some of those additional questions, we reached out to travel advisors across the country.
From requests for more coffee to inquiries about Wi-Fi access, flight attendants field all kinds of questions during their flights. One question most flight attendants never hear is, "How did you magically travel from the front of the plane to the back of the plane so quickly?"
Travel writer Rick Steves, who was diagnosed with cancer in August, says he has some "regrets" over his choice of career.
There are many reasons why you may be wondering how to become a flight attendant. Many travelers see the career as an opportunity to jet set around the world (and get paid to do so), while others are drawn to the job’s human-facing elements—one colleague told me that she was inspired to become a flight attendant after two cabin crew members heroically performed CPR on her mother mid-flight.
