I need to know if there is any specific training that I should have. Is there online training? What about the correspondence training through P.C.D.I.? What should I be aware of and/or leary of? How much should I be prepared to spend?

One thing you really do need to think about it, the pay isn't great, because most people are buying their tickets online now. So if your looking to make lots of money, this wouldn't be the job for you.
My mom's a travel agent.
