You might want to analyze the local market and determine whether starting a Practice Administrative business that services multiple practices. If it proves profitable, you could hire people to do the leg work and gain some independence.

With the Coronavirus, folks are not going to be doing much traveling until a vaccine is found, and even then, the travel business will be a tough business. Good luck.

That and the airlines cut travel agents to a flat fee a few years back instead of a percentage. Same now with hotels and rental cars. I personally use the big guys,mostly COSTCO travel Ot Travelocity, because they can get me better deals. <br /><br />It would be a shame to waste all that studying you did to a Piled High Deeper behind your name. <br /><br />I don’t know your background, but if you are just looking to fill in your time, teach SSgt Dwight Deatherage Sat, 25 Jul 2020 18:26:19 -0400 2020-07-25T18:26:19-04:00 2020-07-24T10:46:15-04:00
