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?

I think this is short-sighted. The vast majority of careers are not WFH friendly. If travel is the goal, then OP needs to focus on travel friendly careers.

Sometimes us DNs hang out with tech people and we forget that the huge majority of the workforce is in retail, transportation, and manufacturing. If OP loves construction, that's great, but they will never be traveling abroad to do it unless they immigrate.
