Where are the travel agent jobs?
If you look at the decline in storefront travel agencies (so-called brick and mortar travel agencies), you’d get the impression that travel agent jobs are harder to come by these days. Yet nothing could be farther from the truth. It used to be that if you wanted to become a travel agent, you’d have to go to a travel agent school and suffer through boring classes on how to use a global distribution system or GDS (formerly called a CRS for “computerized reservation system”). Then, you’d be qualified for an entry-level travel agent job at a storefront agency. Typically, you would spend your day at a computer terminal making airline reservations and that was about it.
