Anything that really interests you! Any job can be cool if you enjoy it and look forward to going to work more often than not :-)\n\nMany people find that jobs that involve helping people are particularly cool and rewarding....others are more interested in jobs that allow them to express their creativity or solve challenging problems. When you get closer to working age, if you're still unsure of what kinds of careers you'd like to try, there are plenty of quizzes you can take to help you figure out what kinds of activities you enjoy and might be good at!

Do you mean a career specifically to discover a new culture, or a job that involves traveling and in the course of traveling, the opportunity to experience a new culture?\n\nAnthropology is the science involved with studying culture, although there is little likelihood that a totally new culture would be discovered now.\n\nMany, many careers involve travel.  If that's what you're looking for, your best bet is to hook up with a company with offices overseas.  Many types of businesses have international dealings.
