Only if a parent owns the company, you have to sell a minimum dollar amount and then keep up a certain sales performance.
The discounts are not what they used to be.
The discounts you get are not worth what the earnings are, trust me.
I am finally getting out of the business after 10 years.
Seek a higher paying position. Becoming a travel agent is not a good career move.
Becoming a travel agent is wonderful because not only do you save on your own travel, you may be able to write-off your own travel on your taxes. And make money when your friends, family and even strangers book travel with you. Since the travel industry has changed with most people booking their travel on the Internet, you should consider becoming a referring travel agent. You simple refer people to your site and they can book the travel for themselves or you can help them by taking some of the free travel agent classes.
