>merchant marines and offshore jobs impossible to get>remote jobs are scarce >working holiday visa jobs pay like shit or industries that don't take short term visasHow the fuck are you supposed to balance having disposable income and not being an office cuck as a burger in 2026? I honestly just wish I was a eurocel making 30k a year with a month of holiday every year. Has anyone even been able to get hired through the avenues mentioned in the above greentext in current year? Not trying to be a doomer faggot but I refuse to have a commute and another year robbed for a theoritical muh fire retirement, I am late 20s with fuck ton of savings but don't want to see it squandered away in a couple of years.
>>2877486>remote jobs are scarceThey aren't if you're skilled they just pay way way lower. Many companies are just going full RTO if you want to keep X pay or they let people go and then rehire remote for 60-75% of what a in office employee makes.>How the fuck are you supposed to balance having disposable income and not being an office cuck as a burger in 2026Move, I moved to the midwest can now live abroad 6-8 months and come back to a cheap 500/mo apartment. >am late 20s with fuck ton of savings but don't want to see it squandered away in a couple of years.NOOOOO I REAP WHAT I SOW!!!The real answer is just go into CDL.You may have to eat a year or two of shit but when you get into long haul trips and seasonal work you can make a years salary in 6 months. I live in ND, I have a friend who literally works 6 months, hard winter comes and he stops till things thaw. He makes like 60k and could easily get more but likes the stay-at-home life style with 1 yearly trip to japan.Oil Field workingIT technician (contract)USAjobs.gov for civilian position overseas (reminder most are tax free)HVAC if you live in the SouthWest can make a killing in summer with winters off
>>2877498>They aren't if you're skilled they just pay way way lower.I am pretty skilled (4-5 years work experience). I can not really find any roles that match my credentials.>Move, I moved to the midwest can now live abroad 6-8 months and come back to a cheap 500/mo apartmentElaborate on this. Curious what kind of lifestyle you are living.>The real answer is just go into CDL.Eh maybe. I was diverting my search for rotational roles (2:2 schedule is impossible, most I have found is 2:1 schedule).
