  • DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRAVEL AGENT | Work from home routine
    Follow along as I share my day as a travel agent! Every day is different, but I wanted to show you what a normal day in the life of an agent looks like. This is a fast-paced industry and the world of travel is constantly changing so this career path definitely keeps me on my toes, as well as, being a business owner.

    I'm considering taking a position with an agency, I'm just curious, how long does it take to book one client's vacation plans, on average would you say? How many clients do you tend to work with at a time, at a time when you're neither excessively busy or just don't have many clients (average busy-ness)? The agency that wants to hire me looks to be well reviewed and fairly busy, so I'm just curious about what to expect on a daily basis from a typical agency.

    Hi Jeanine. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Could you please tell me how many years does it take to become a travel agent at a college?
    Also, if you are a travel agent, could you be an agent for a airline? For example, my travel agent is polish and so she gets discounts on LOT Polish airlines more than any other airline. Would you please explain to me how this works?
    Thanks, and sorry for all the questions!

    • @JeanieMarie
      @JeanieMarie  4 роки тому +1

      It really can vary how long it takes you. You can get 2 and 4 year degrees if you do certain hospitality degree, there's some colleges that offer certificates and then if I remember right the Travel Institute is go at your own pace.
      Being an agent in the USA does not give you airline discounts, its a completely separate career from being a flight attendant. If you are a flight attendant then yes you would receive discounts from the airline you work for.

    • @JeanieMarie
      @JeanieMarie  3 роки тому +7

      That's a great question! Honestly, it will come down to how often you want to travel. You don't have to travel at all if you don't want to, however, I feel like first-hand experience will help you learn more. I know many agents who have families and are agents. I think it would be harder to do if you were a flight attendant--since you would always be on the go. But an agent isn't required to travel--that is your personal choice and what works best for you! :)

      @@JeanieMarie ehhhh I want that so bad. Going to see my boy today and might just mention it to him. Who knows. Curious what’s your take on evolution travel I’m about to sign up with them and thinking of asking creating click funnels to get more clients. I just want to hit all the countries by the time I’m 35, right now I’m 31. So I’ve got my work cut out for me

      To be honest, being an agent during a pandemic has been extremely hard. Travel and tourism industry has been hit extremely hard, so not fun being an agent right now. Looking forward to the days of doing what I love again without all the stress of the pandemic.

    Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ for he died for all of us while we were still sinners. He is coming back soon.
