I am thinking of going into the Travel industry?
Answer:
Based on your information, let me offer some suggestions:
A) If you're thinking of going into television, make sure you go to college and major in journalism, specializing in broadcast studies. You may want to add some communication courses (i.e., public speaking, creative writing, foreign language, etc.) as well to broaden your skill set. I would not study history if you're going into the travel industry.
B) Then, simply travel. With a laptop and a cell-phone, you can go anywhere and put your thoughts and your adventures in either a blog or video format. You don't need a lot of money to travel to Europe or any other destination. As you post your adventures on the Internet, you'll be marketing your abilities as a travel journalist with Internet savvy. You can then use the material you've compiled as your portfolio when applying for a job with a media company.
Your question sounds like you want to get into the media business, with an emphasis on travel. If that's the case, then follow your heart and your dreams will come through with a little luck and a lot of hard work.
Good luck. Other Questions and Answers:
