Traveling Jobs in IT?

Posted by Cliff on from the avoiding-the-cube-farm dept.

wed128 asks: "I am currently a freshman at Penn State University, studying for a Computer Engineering degree. However, I look at the graduates ahead of me and many of them are cubical warriors. This doesn't really bother me, however i'd like to see the world before being confined to a cube for the rest of my life. Are there any jobs in an IT field where I can travel? How would I go about getting the right contacts regarding this? I have 4 years till graduation, so this isn't a direct plea for a job..."

  1. A GREAT job by LePrince · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Try this : Cirque du Soleil. I work there, but in the International HeadQuarters in Montreal, so I don't travel. But it's a GREAT company, that treats its employees really well and pays a decent salary. And there are of course travelling jobs, with the many tours (Quidam, Saltimbanco, Alegria, Varekai and Dralion). As a matter of fact, the Dralion tech is a good friend of mine... Of course, I don't get to see him much. :-P But beware, these jobs aren't available often, because the techs love their job, so we don't get many departures...

    There are also some "fly-in" jobs that are based in Montreal, and I believe there are some too in Vegas and Amsterdam. Check it out ! :-)
