What do you do?
I've been lurking on FT for quite some time (found out about FT via the Pudding Man article in WSJ) and I'm curious as to what you guys/gals do for a living.
I'm a consultant at a publisher. I don't travel much for work, but I have been for the last 6 months or so. It's going to come to an end, but I good taste of the travel life. |

West Coast Territory Sales Manager
Cover 8 states in the west, but alas, not Hawaii..... |
I'm an actuary for a sub of a Fortune 500 conglomerate. Not what you'd think of as a travel job, but in the last year I went to Toronto, Munich and India on business. This year will be leaner- the hurricanes hit us hard. I wish they'd send me back to India!

2. That rule doesn't apply to people who are in the private sector working on government relations. 3. That rule doesn't apply for most employees of most governments in the world. 4. That rule did not apply to personal travel. On December 28, 2001, the President signed into law S. 1438, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002. Section 1116 of this law authorizes Federal employees to retain promotional items, including frequent flyer miles earned on official travel. The amendatory language to the FTR and FPMR is not in effect until a final rule(s) is published in the Federal Register which should take place in 30-60 days. The law essentially states that an individual who receives a promotional item as a result of using travel or transportation services obtained at Federal Government expense or accepted under 31 U.S.C. 1353 (sponsored travel), may retain the promotional item for personal use if the promotional item is obtained under the same terms as those offered to the general public and at no additional cost to the Federal Government. |
