One concern I have about pets is my traveling. How do they handle being alone? And do you have to buy them in pairs? I think I remember reading something that having just one was a bad idea.

I wouldn't leave my ferrets alone for more than two days. As I've had my parents take care of them when I vacation, this hasn't been a problem for me. However, it might be a problem for you if you don't have anyone that could watch them.
I keep my ferrets in a cage when they are sleeping and chillin, but they really should be let out at least once a day, usually twice. Also, their water bottle lasts about two days and should be kept fresh.
One ferret all alone might get lonely. Yes, it could play with a human or another pet, but it's not the same. You can't have a business of ferrets with just one ferret. And you would also miss out on the ferret conga line when they follow each other all over the house.
