What does it take to become a travel agent? Schooling? I would be great at the job, since I know so much about traveling and requirements. I do a lot of research since traveling is something I wish I could do more of. How much does a travel agent usually get paid?

I work for a travel wholesaler. Technically you do not need any experience. Sales experience is helpful. Some more upscale agencies may require experience and Sabre or Galileo experience. Knowing your geography helps. I had an agent call that said she wanted to book the Greek Isles but she didnt know where they were, one wanted the parking cost at a hotel in Venice (no cars in Venice all boats), and one wanted to pick up a car in Los Angeles and drop it in Maui. If you have little experience you may have to sell yourself.
It is fun and exasperating. People come in and want to go somewhere warm, but not any destination you recommend, and dont want to spend any money to get there but it is a honeymoon in 2 months during spring break.
