I’m a recent graduate and am working my first job. My employer gives me 10 vacation days and 10 sick days — What is the difference? I know vacation days are planned, but what about sick days. Couldn’t I just fake a sickness? Or are they treated like vacation days.

I recently gave my notice at my job, and are taking my unused days as personal days. When I come back, I am supposed to train my replacement. But, I am in Texas, and there is a potential hurricane coming, and they may be closing the office on the days that I am taking off. Does this mean that they still count as vacation days, although the office is closed?
I get paid regardless, but if I am using my vacation day tomorrow, and the office is closed anyway, shouldn’t I still have that vacation day to use?

Considering a position that offers 10 paid vacation days for first 4 years.
i currently get 22 days for first 10 years

I have no idea what I want to do after high school. My only true interests are traveling the world, food, and learning about culture. Its really important to me that I have a good education, probably a doctorate degree, or two, or three, or ten. Is it possible to get paid for traveling and eating?
I want Anthony Bordain’s job!!

What are some good, successful career choices that consist of traveling (not only to states)? Type of business, banking, agents, anything!? What type of career do you know that is a good career choice that allows you to go over seas and such. Anything in particular?

I’m a senior and I’m still considering what type of career is good for me. I enjoy sciences a lot and I would also like to go traveling. I need suggestions of career fields that involve both science and traveling.

Also, what is the difference between vacation and personal days? How many workdays do you get to not work during the year?

Thinking of taking an online course through Penn Foster for the travel industry to become a travel agent. Thinking of stopping by a local travel agency to ask them questions. But thought I would ask here first. Any travel agents out there? How much do you make?

I am interested in travel because I can’t see myself sitting in an office when working. I want to be involved with cutting edge trends, whether in marketing, fashion, electronics, transportation, etc. What kind of career can I pursue that would let me travel maybe a couple times a year really early on, like without being really advanced in the field? Any serious suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
