You never know you comments could have a direct impact on what career i choice when leaving school.
I would urge you to firstly think about a career you are interested in and think you would enjoy.

Secondly, as many have posted, business travel ain't much fun these days. I rarely get any time to see beyond the inside of an airport, taxis, hotel and office. Traveling the world in economy is fine if you're off on your hols for a couple of weeks, but as a GC holder who travels mainly in ET or WT+ I can tell you it can be quite a painful experience.

So if you think you'll find a job straight out of school or college that will let you travel business class to exotic destinations and have loads of time to sight see when you arrive, dream on!
