Do these mythical people even exist ?

Im a manual labourer at age 26 and im feeling an extreme burnout lately. i live a lifestyle that i extremely despise, i hate the urban hell im surrounded by and the people that populate it. is there anything i can learn in 2-3 years , in order to be able to independantly work from a computer , not anchored to a single area of living ?

Good luck, but I’ve resigned myself to two weeks of pecker play per year. I can’t be a dorkus

Boomers and normies do their best to keep everyone slaving away in offices. Maybe doable if you want eastern european wages

Yeah I wouldnt mind whatever the money is so long as it pays for food and enables basic comfort when it is needed
I want to travel Far East, especially China , SEA , LatAm & East Africa in the future

That’s cute. Until you realize you’ll be living pay check to paycheck due to the tantalizing plethera of proficient pecker players in populous provinces

Yeah. Get some type of IT certification that allows you to get an entry level position in a remote job. There’s also the coding/engineer route. It does seem like 80% of digital nomads live a hand to mouth existence. Living wherever in SEA or wherever the digital nomad hotspot is now, the phillipines, cambodia, idk.

>>2731990
I don't see the appeal, speaking as a high-earning manual laborer
These insects are all over central America. The best hostels are gutting themselves to cater to their weird tastes. Most of them I've met see the situation as very temporary, a few years at most, then they're gonna go home, buy a house, buy some kids, whatever. Abroad they live an essentially hedonistic lifestyle. To justify wasting their best years overseas they all gravitate toward some mid-level life goal like surfing or yoga. I think as a lifestyle it only works if you're a hyper-socialite or pretend to be.
>>
>>2731990
You don't, the DN lifestyle is all smoke and mirrors.
Notice how 99% of DNs are always trying to sell you courses on how to be a DN, and that that's their main source of income?
There's a reason, their businesses literally depend on selling you the illusion of the DN lifestyle.

long-term DN is super hard, but short term DN with like 2-3 months is fairly more attainable.

I'm doing it in SEA right now. It much easier if you have family in that country where you can bum stay.

But yea, i'm netting $2.5K every two weeks in SEA. It really is the fucking life.

I'll be back home in 3 months and will repeat every year.

>never buy a house and have kids
I literally became a nomad because I couldn't afford either of these in my home country when I lived there. At least I can scrap by in some shithole country

i actually think it's easier to just start your own business but that's a lot more complicated. if you're young it's better to think in terms of career choices.

If you have to ask a Tibetan Monk Abhidharma group study forum then, it's not that you weren't made for this kind of life, it's more like you're just a larper fantasizing about something you'll never actually do, because if you did you would be working towards that goal instead of being here on 4chan.

If you didn’t get in a few years ago you’re too late and there’s not much point in pursuing remote tech jobs. The market is oversaturated with people seeking employment in that sector and the jobs are being given to jeets
>>
>>2731990
I got a remote job offer that during the interview has said that they do not give a shit where I am - with the 2 caveats that I must report the country I am in at all times, and that I must maintain tax residency in the country they hired me in (183 day rule)
If it works out, then this should be comfy
>>
What about normal jobs, are there any that let you work for 6 months and then fuck off somewhere for the other 6?
>>
Something a lot of tards in this thread have falsely assumed is that OP is looking for a solution to make serious money. which is false . I want something that literally is enough to pay for a meal, occasional drink, bicycle repairs and occasional stay at a cheap hotel. Thats it. I dont want some serious career or employment . So that is why im asking about what is possible to learn in 2-3 years that will let me remotely make money for humble traveling ?
>>2732297
I doubt it bro . Maybe some tough jobs like catching crabs on a boat or oil rig jobs . But they are very hard to get into without knowing ppl and very taxing on the body and will age you faster and reduce your lifespan at the end of the day . Maybe self employment as welder or something . But to weld you need to spend 3-4 years afaik and at that point why not just spend those 3-4 years learning web development or some shit .
>>2732290
Retarded guy
>>2732236
I have a friend from Czech Republic who has done that by renting a house in rural Italy. His autism bux pay him just enough to stay afloat there. If he moved to something like Philippines , Thailand or 'nam he could enjoy a much higher quality of life i reckon. or China.
Im actually planning to try to get diagnose for autism here in UK. Ive spoken with my friend n i have a lot of same kinda autistic weird traits, but back when i was a kid in school nobody knew anything about autism. But i think it will be much harder to get such diagnosis as an adult rather than a problematic kid at school.
>>
>>2732290
You can still get in, I manage to find a company that cool with remote work.

I'm not a longer term digital nomad but I get to go for 2-3 months and then come back to the states.

It worth it.

Why do u assholes never say exactly what is it that you do - what skill needs to be learnt ?

>>2731990
Its over. New hires at my org are now required to be in country due to gay 'insurance liability requirements'. As soon as my contract is up for renewal next year I am going to get hit with the same bullshit.

The kikes will do anything to get us back into their orbit

Have you heard of FIRE, you follow the plan with baby steps for a few years and then you get monthly income of $5000 to $10000

Look up Dave Ramsey baby steps for how's and whys

I will tell you how I became a digital nomad.

I made myself so indispensable that I can't even take a fucking vacation without those retarded apes asking me to remote in and fix something.
I did this several times while on vacation and eventually I never returned to my native land.

However, those niggers haven't given me a raise in 2 years.

>>2732749
Bro i’m on FIRE but that isn’t until later in life. Being a DN still gives you the taste.

Alright bucko I too was a day laborer at 26 and now am a digital nomad.

Go to college. Learn the entirety of knowledge regarding computers.

Quick pipeline for you, Microsoft shit -> Linux -> Sql and other database shit -> Python/JavaScript -> more specialized stuff

Copy and paste a job that you want into chatgpt and ask for a study guide
>>
>>2732010
Why not? I did it. The problem is the visa is a hassle.
