Are high paying international remote jobs possible? (alien.top)

I noticed a lot of digital nomads have to take a pay cut or have money saved up. Is it even possible to be a US citizen and have a remote job with good pay? I say this because if I want to live in a foreign country for say 3-6 months and then return back the US I don't want to be making only 30k a year.

Depends what your skills, education, experience is in. I work as a lawyer and work remote. Pays well.

Wow, never heard of a lawyer that works completely remote, that's pretty cool.

It is a common misconception that lawyers/attorneys only work in the courthouse (I guess it is all of those legal TV shows). But in reality, a lot of (maybe even most) attorneys are just glorified copywriters. Not meaning to denigrate the profession in the slightest, but I know a few guys who’s jobs consist of them typing up and editing legal documents. Employment agreements, Contracts, NDA’s, etc. I even knew one guy who specializes in environmental law. He works as a consultant fully-remote. Basically, companies pay him so that he can make sure they don’t get screwed by the EPA.
