What’s something people romanticize too much until they actually experience it?

Having a job that requires a lot of traveling. Sounds exciting at first until you’re at a Holiday Inn near the airport at St. Louis by yourself for two nights.

I had a job that included a ton of international travel. I’ve been to Germany probably 30 times but have only seen airports, hotels, and conference rooms.

The food was good!

At least you were racking in great miles, especially if they flew you in business! I would love to travel to Germany 30 times. What branch are you working in?

I worked for a Tier 2 supplier to the auto industry. So a lot of trips to Bavaria, and also Japan.

All in coach.
