Nothing as far as I know But are you sure about going into an industry where over 50% of it is now done online, and the numbers are moving away from travel agents in favour of online every day?\n\nI would look to go into a very niche area of travel, like luxury tours, where the odds of it going online are lower. Get in there before all the other travel agents need new jobs!

Here is a few options. Go back to being a travel agent, It don't take a degree in rocket science to run a computer. Have her take a few training classes usually offer thru local high schools as adult training seminars. She can also apply as a para professional at the local school system. Job usually involves working with students who need help w/ homework during school hours, handicapped students that need help & play ground supervision etc.... Many stores prefer to hire older more mature individuals because they are steady & prompt for work. Go to local job service & be tested they can also help to point her in a direction that she might think she can't do. Good Luck.

Education\nAppalachian State University\nCurrently Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration\nMajor: Hospitality and Tourism Management\n\nThis is how I would present it.  Leave the dates off.  If they want to know when you will be finished or how far you are into it, they will have to call you in for an interview.  At that point, it's up to you to let them know what your  plans are.  This is also helpful if you are older, because they can't try to figure out your age from your info and potentially discriminate based on age.

The way to become a literary agent is to do what a literary agent would do:\n...Acquire a client.\n...Develop the literary property offered by the client.\n...Market the property by getting it in front of editors, publishers, and producers.\n...Collect your 15% when you you pair up the client with the producer.\n...Acquire another client.\n\nA college degree is a desirable component for an agent's "bag of tricks" but not nearly as important as a big fat Rolodex!

First and foremost a college degree is a must.  What you decided to major in should deal with something related to international relations, a foreign language, international economics, political science, etc.  A bachelors degree is usually a requirement.  Advanced degrees increase your chances or being hired and increase your pay grade level.  Beyond the education of a university, I would say that international experience is also a must.  This can include living in a another country or studying abroad.  Try to enjoy another country as a native would, and not as a tourist.  The U.S. Dept. of State's website is a great start to a possible career as a foreign service officer or whatever is your heart's desire.  Check http://careers.state.gov/, it seems to be a very knowledgeable website on this matter.  I believe it even has a step-by-step listing of "To Do's"... such as requirements, studying for the Foreign Service test, etc.  Hope this helps and best of luck!

I don't think there's many requirements to be a holiday rep. You'll probably need a valid passport, to be at least 18 years of age and have a lively, outgoing personality whilst at the same time being responsible. A big part of being a holiday rep is selling excursion so holiday companies will probably be looking for people with good selling skills.\n\nYou can find more details at the sites linked below:

Yes, in Travel and Tourism you have a mix of coursework and exams. Since you mention "A" levels, one assumes you live in Britain. If your course is NVQ-based, you will provide evidence of competencies from your place of work. If it is a full-time college course, it is GNVQ-based and will involve a lot of simulated (pretend) competences which are basically coursework, but if you want to take a degree and make something of your career, you will take exams. Explore the websites below. They are really good courses.

Education requirements for WHAT?

You might try applying at the CIA, NSA or United States Department of State, for starters. They all look for good thinkers with credentials in the disciplines you mentioned. Obviously, teaching could be another useful option.\n\nWith a background like yours, you could also be sucessful in certain areas of sales, although the education is not usually a requirement for sales positions - but the ability to make intelligent conversation is usually a key to sales success.

There are no real requirements on wedding consultants.  Any formal education in marketing, business management, the hospitality or food and beverage arenas are plusses to your professionalism.\n\nThere are a number of sites to get more information on the web.  Although I no longer do it as a profession, I personally learned how to professionally party plan from a mentor.

Actually you must have at least a master's degree and be working in the industry you are going to teach.  Or at least be able to reasonably associate it to your industry.
