    IT Contractor job with lots of travel involved?

    Hi.

    Just a quick question: have you ever came across a programmer/analyst job with lots of travel involved?
    It seems I am unable to spend too much time in one place anyway, that's why contracting in general seems great to me.
    But I'm thinking of an even more mobile work, with lots of overseas travel etc

      Flight Attendant?

        It's just that I, as opposed to most computer people, actually like to travel for no good reason at all. Meeting new people, getting drunk in strange places etc

        One particular niche I have found are professional trainers, who teach say GSM or 3G stuff, now GSM is hot news in Africa so you get to teach over there for decent money.

        Flight attendant is usually no good as you're mostly on the same route to my knowledge (besides the crappy pay that is).

                Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

                  Training is a good one, especially if it involves roll outs to regional offices.

                    Or Hector?

                    A mate of mine got a gig once upgrading routers all across Europe for about 9 months - sounded like fun.

                    I'm off to Geneva next month
