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?

    Let’s say you’re from the US. I’m thinking something you can do over a video call with a client in the US, like a therapist, some type of coach etc. It’s personalized, has the potential to pay well, can’t as easily be replaced by AI, and you’ll have a leg up on the competition from other countries if clients are looking for someone who speaks native English and is also from the US.

      Yeah this makes the most sense to me, I think being some type of “trainer” or “consultant” whether it be upskilling staff on a certain business function or software would be an easier sell than being just another generic software/marketer freelancer.
