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?

Software Engineering still is a good choice.

Specializing in actual AI integration can be good as well (even as a non-engineer). Being good at seeing what the AI can do and what it can't and adjusting systems and people around those.

It's already been good for a long while. People that help companies (internal or external) automate away the tasks they can to focus humans on the tasks they can't.
