I love to travel, hate to fly these days but love to travel. Instead of paying out of pocket (and there are plenty here who pay out of pocket themselves, but if they sleep in lounges, buy cheapest fares, & use a flight like a Disney ride) then perhaps their money can be spent elsewhere on things they really need - at the same time, do what I and thousands of others have done,......Find a career that requires travels
