Re: Becoming a Travel Agent.....
Lady Coonskinner,
I have info about it and folks are right you need to beware of scams. If you get a chance call me this weekend and I will tell you what I know.
There is a local Nashville travel agency that specializes in Cruises that is huge and they take on associate travel agents working out of the home. However legitimate places like them typically still have charges that will cost you $300-$500 per year to participate and unless you plan on traveling a lot or cruising a lot the 5-10% commission you would make would not pay for that annual outlay. You only get the "freebie" stuff major travel agents get when you sell more than something like $300,000 worth of travel annually if I remember correctly. I went to one of their seminars on becoming an agent.
Hotels, rental car companies, etc caught on a few years ago when a few travel agents were in essence signing up people to be travel agents only used to get discounts on travel and cracked down on that.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
