Is it better to have a career in travel or to travel for vacationing?

All I know is that I’m passionate about travel and would love to explore the world. However, I’m not sure whether a career in travel would turn out to be a positive option.
Is it better to travel on the job and work during the travels (such as a travel journalist), or simply have a well-paying job which will enable me to travel on vacation time?

If you find a career in travel to be fulfilling, do you have any job suggestions?
