Honestly, being a travel agent in a dying industry will not bode well in the long term. For those who travel frequently, if they can save money, they will. Plus airlines have cut or eliminated commissions for TAs in recent years. Cruise ships were paying decent commissions until this past fall. Its tough to make a buck at this industry.

That's assuming perks aside per the above.
