First off, welcome to FT!! I've only been here for less than a year, but I've learned so much already. And yes, when I'm bored at work, it's "FT, here I come!"

I just turned 23 and like you, have been wanting to get into the travel industry. Actually, though, I have a pretty sweet job right now....as an auditor for a Big 4 accounting firm. Yes, I majored in accounting in college (figured it's the best major for business), and I plan on getting my CPA license within the next year. The job I have now pays really well, and there is a ton of room to grow. However....

Auditing is clearly not in the travel industry! Ha! When I'm bored sometimes, I look at jobs marketed as "corporate travel directors" or jobs at corporate travel firms. All of the jobs require a few years of industry experience...boo. I almost feel as if I'd be taking quite a step 'down' from going as an auditor to an entry-level travel agent (I don't mean that in any conceited way). But, if I am truly passionate about it, we'll see where it goes. I say all of that to say......good luck with the job, keep FT posted on how it goes, and I will probably be joining you in a few years!
