Work in the Travel Industry or Food/Gourmet Industry?

First of all, I have interest in both and plan to take one of them internationally to Japan and other Asian countries. I was always interested in Travel, mainly because I find it amazing that the Airport I live by (about 20 mins away), have people moving in and out of my city. People of all shapes and sizes, colors, and jet lag have step foot on where I live.

As for gourmet.. I spend my time on Yelp going to new restaurants/bakaries/etc. and writing reviews for them. I've been studying find wine and foods from all over the world and.. I just don't know which is best. I want something I'd love to do for a living, and would provide me a reasonably good salary. I refuse working to pay for little-to-nothing.

You answered your own question. Try getting a job as a chef on a cruise ship and see if you like it. Good luck.
