I have came across a company that only charges $30 to train and certify you as a bonded travel agent. Found out that it is a branch off of Archer travel, which has built a great name for themselves, I must say. So very blessed I found this opportunity through a really good friend of mine. I was given my own free personal travel website, updated by the company so I need not do anything but answer emails for quotes and book travel. This place pays 80% commissions on every travel you book through them.

I think I have heard of that company before. The travel industry is definitely a great industry to be in.
I hope that works out well for you! Look forward to hearing more about how it goes!

Whether you’re an experienced world traveler or just have wanderlust, a career in travel allows you to share your passion with others by offering advice on trip destinations, planning trip itineraries, and making travel arrangements for your clients. Travel agents sell and book travel for everything from family vacations, to honeymoons, to corporate travel. It’s their job to cater aspects of the trip to their clients needs. As you advance your career, you can even specialize in a specific type or region of travel. And, as an added perk, you’ll know all the insider tips to the travel industry, so the next vacation you plan will be exactly what you hoped for.
