Get a degree you can live with and yes corporate travel does have downsides. But if you do want the heavy travel here are your options

Chemical Engineering- I am a Chem E and it varies as to which engineers travel and ones who don't. The ones that travel a lot are in corporate engineering, Process development-R&D, and the engineers who went the business route in their career and became platform managers, technical sales, etc. The engineers who do not travel are typically managerial positions at a chemical plant.

Other jobs that I know that travel heavily
Many forms of consulting, attorney for the larger firm, finance/investment banking, sales.

Again get the degree you actually want, you are going to be working for 40+ years and there will be time for all this.
