周游世界又赚钱,这种好工作哪里找?

有没有可能一边享受各处旅行,一边以此谋生?有!

8月已经结束,暑期休假就要成为美好的回忆,也许放假归来的你还没有准备打开行李箱收拾,又或许想着在社交媒体Instagram上发布巴厘岛之类美景照片。但有没有可能一边享受各处旅行,一边以此谋生?

很高兴地告诉你,的确有这种可能。求职网站Indeed.com最近筛选了一些用人单位的招聘岗位,列出了一份适合旅游爱好者的工作岗位。当然,相关工作不是所有人都适合,有些需要应聘者接受严格的培训,比如航空公司飞行员或者邮轮的护理人员,还有些工作需要极高的专业水准,最好有研究生学历,比如乔治·克鲁尼在电影《在云端》(Up in the Air)中扮演的高级顾问。

如果你想周游世界,或者一次在国外转上一到六个月,也可能通过工作实现。比如以英语作为第二语言(ESL)的外派海外教师,通常签三到六个月工作合同,按课时支付薪酬。游轮上播放音乐的DJ也类似。

以下是Indeed.com整理的部分工作,还提供了对应工作的平均年薪或者时薪:

· 高级顾问:年薪92,113美元

· 游轮酒吧服务生:年薪63,091美元

· 航空公司飞行员:年薪68,491美元

· 零售业买手:年薪55,000美元

· 游艇船长:年薪50,620美元

· 贸易展览/展会经理:年薪48,151美元

· 猎头:年薪47,252美元

· 海外导游:年薪38,000美元

· ESL教师:时薪21.40美元

· 游轮DJ:时薪15.50美元

Indeed.com的报告指出,各种工作里有些出行时间很多,比如高级顾问有80%的时间都在出差,有些相对较少,零售业买手的出差时间最少有10%。导游和猎头的出行时间居中,各占40%和50%左右。虽然都在路上,有些工作可能比其他的更有吸引力。例如导游可以顺便游览各种充满异域风情的旅游度假胜地。而高级顾问也许只能将大把时间耗在一些工业城市,比如美国俄亥俄州的阿克伦。

假如你获得美国海岸警卫队颁发的牌照,当了几年游艇船长在国外漂泊,然后决定回到美国在某个地方安定下来,怎么办?不妨向潜在雇主强调,从之前四处游历的工作经历学到了什么,最好举一些具体的例子,说说国际化的工作经历如何让你更随机应变或更有创意。

之所以如此建议,是因为越来越多神经学的研究显示,适应陌生的地点和文化能帮大脑开辟新的思路,提高创新能力。学术期刊《美国管理学会学报》曾刊登哥伦比亚大学商学院教授亚当·加林斯基与他人合写的一项研究报告,结论认为领导者的海外工作经历可能成为公司创新的重要催化剂。

With August winding down and your latest vacation just a lovely memory, maybe you’re not ready to unpack your suitcase yet—or maybe you yearn to be one of those people who’s always posting breathtaking Instagram photos from places like Bali. But is it possible to make a living while indulging your wanderlust?

Happily, it is. Indeed.com recently culled employers’ postings and came up with a list of jobs for people who like to travel. Granted, they’re not for everybody. Some, like airline pilot or nurse on a cruise ship, require rigorous training, while a few others—like senior consultant (remember George Clooney in Up in the Air?)—call for specialized experience or even, ideally, a graduate degree.

If you’d like to travel the world or live abroad for just one to six months at a time, that’s possible, too. Overseas teachers of English as a second language (ESL), for instance, usually sign 3- to 6-month contracts that specify an hourly rate of pay. Ditto for DJs on cruise ships.

Here’s a sampling from Indeed’s list, with average salary or hourly pay:

· Senior consultant: $92,113

· Cruise bartender: $63,091

· Airline pilot: $68,491

· Retail buyer: $55,000

· Yacht captain: $50,620

· Trade show/event manager: $48,151

· Recruiter: $47,252

· Travel agent: $38,000

· ESL teacher: $21.40/hour

· Cruise DJ: $15.50/hour

“Travel time in these jobs ranges from very high (senior consultants travel up to 80% of the time) to relatively low (retail buyers travel at least 10%),” notes Indeed’s report. “Travel agents and recruiters land somewhere in the middle,” at about 40% and 50% respectively. Of course, some jobs in these fields have more glamor potential than others. Travel agents might get to try out exotic resorts and other vacation meccas, for instance, while senior consultants can wind up spending lots of their time in, say, Akron.

What if you put in a few years as, for instance, a yacht captain—which, by the way, takes a license from the U.S. Coast Guard—and then decide you want to go back to working in one place? It might help to emphasize to prospective employers what your mobile work experience taught you, especially if you can give specific examples of how an international job helped make you more resourceful or creative.

That’s because a growing pile of neuroscientific research shows that adapting to unfamiliar places and cultures creates new pathways in the brain that boost people’s ability to innovate. One such study, co-authored by Columbia B-school professor Adam Galinsky and published in the Academy of Management Journal, concluded that “leaders’ foreign professional experiences can be a critical catalyst for creativity and innovation” in their companies.
