About two years ago I visited The Travel Academy considering a career in the travel industry. I have to partly blame myself for beleiving the crap they told me but it was mostly a bunch of lies. They have this canned presentation about glamorous jobs travelling all over the world, having unlimited earning potential, becoming travel managers and executives, and getting all kinds of free trips from your employer. I have never seen any of these things to be true.
The job I have had for two years pays $8.50/hour and I have never once travelled, or been offered travel or even discounts. I'm really starting to hate my job but can't kind find anything that looks much better. Almost all the stuff I learned in class I have never used on my job. The people I work with laugh at me for having wasted thousands of dollars to find a job I could have gotten with just a high school diploma.
Most of the people I took the class with have had the same experience. If you're really desperate and have no work experience or education then maybe this course would help you. But for most other people you can find this type of work without throwing away thousands of dollars.
