With AI shaking up a lot of industries online, and likely more competition worldwide from other freelancers in developing countries coming online, what profession would you get into these days to become a digital nomad?

Ideally something you can build a portfolio independently while working a regular job and start making money from in less than 2-3 yrs.

Want to base myself in Thailand or the Phillipines before 2026-2027 ideally.

Already have a basic portfolio in web design and digital marketing, should I keep going and look for a job in this field or will it be too saturated in the future?

don’t go into a career with the goal of working remotely. if you do that there’s a good chance you’ll hate your job. 40 hours of being miserable every week is going to suck, even if it’s in a place you love.

find a career that is fulfilling to you and then try to find remote work in that career.

yeah that makes sense, do you work remotely as a digital nomad?

I want to find something fulfilling, I like the entrepreneurial side of business strategy, building a website and marketing, just haven't quite found the right niche yet which makes sense to work remotely.
