What kind of job/business lets you travel the world? I have a remote job, but I can't travel outside the country, pretty bored and sick of being glued to my email and Teams all day, every day

Seasonal work, maybe. Best example is working in Alaska for the summer season in fish processing. So long as you don't drink than you'll have very low expenses while working because most places have you live on-site and feed you while you work. Be mindful that its very much a shitty job with long hours, but its the type of work that lets you save up a bunch of money.

Online freelance work. I've done copywriting while travelling and working for years, but I can't recommend trying to get started now. AI is killing it, and until society catches on that it can't actually write, this marketplace is fucked.

Why not? How would they know?

i work in IT and i have worked all around the world. first for a medium sized company, then a big company, then my own company. but what i do is a bit niche.
the most common type of job that requires frequent international travel would be sales and marketing. in all the companies i have worked for, those are the people who tend to travel most. to visit customers, to exhibit at expos, etc
when i say "sales" i mean big ticket items. you have to find the right company to work for, one with international customers. and of course you need experience so you will probably have to start at the bottom. what's it called in video games where you have to start by hacking mudcrabs or whatever to level up a few times? the equivalent of that. also remember that people that work in sales are basically evil
here, i will give you a clue. one of the companies i worked for was a regular exhibitor at the mobile world conference in barcelona. every year the company would send a contingent of people from the sales department supposedly to promote the company but in reality it is basically a huge party for everyone involved. here is a list of exhibitors: https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/exhibitors start by going to each company's website and looking at their careers pages. or, go to your favourite jobs website and search with "international travel" as the keywords. get applying.
you probably won't do any of that because this is just your disgruntled fantasy and you'll probably just spend the rest of your life posting little cartoons on here and saying how shit your life is

I lurk the r/digitalnomad subreddit sometimes and as far as I can tell your best bets are either:
>Get a cushy remote tech job
>Digital marketing (except you should've started 10-20 years ago)
>Become a scam artist and start selling online "business" courses
>>
>>2859212
being a digital nomad and having a job that involves travel are not really the same thing

Because anywhere you take your laptop is connected to the internet and the moment that happens they know where you are.

Some claim to be able to hide this with an at home vpn setup but the logistics of having such a setup is not possible for some of us.
I've seen other approaches anons have posted but I don't know enough to really understand and I wouldn't likely be able to pull it off anyway.

Some companies really let you go wherever whenever you want though as long as you're mindful of the tax implications but those positions are often very competitive and gatekept.

Government contractor with security clearance. Work somewhere remote and get paid. Work 1 year on 6 months off. Or something like that. If you fly it's can be 2 months on 1 month off.

Thoughts on using AI for online money? I know one guy running AI fake girl socials while having enough money to jump from country to country but idk if it would mentally fuck me up getting involved that kind of thing. It seems where the money is right now though.
>>2859212
I've got a cushy remote tech job, but I'm pretty sure it's not allowed to work outside of my specified state. I don't know anyone that openly travels. Everyone just lives at the same location or I guess if they go anywhere it's secret.

yeah, I'm debating the residential VPN route. Also debating just getting a second remote job to diversify my income. It would be double the work, but could make things easier for paying for travel. Good idea or not worth it? I've gotten some offers. I have around a decade of tech experience and a good degree. That or some digital marketing thing.
>>2859223
I worked as a gov contractor for a few years and every time they sent me to the middle of nowhere for projects at military bases. Not sure if that was just me, but it seems like a common thing. Most don't get to visit any cool places.

Stop being a fag and get a VPN

any competent IT department will not be fooled by you using a VPN. if they don't raise it, it is because they don't care, not because they don't know.
also, if you use any piece of hardware provided by the company, assume that they will always know where you are.
the "big company" i mentioned in >>2859203 was HP. naturally, for work, i used a laptop that they provided. HP have their own heavily customised, locked down version of Windows on every employee laptop.
in that kind of situation, just assume that you have no privacy while you are using the laptop. fortunately, i was doing a job that required me to travel frequently anyway, so at least that part of it didn't cause any issues.
if you are interested in travelling for work, getting that kind of job is a much better solution than trying to find some furtive way of bypassing the controls the company have put in place. if your current job restricts your location, get a different job.

>any competent IT department will not be fooled by you using a VPN
keyword competent. I'd say if OP works for a larger company he probably cannot get away with it. I have a friend that works at a company where I think the IT department is maybe one or two boomers. they had a woman on staff who said she needed to work from home because of her kids. she ended up working from home in Russia and she was only caught because she was posting pictures of herself there on social media and they ended up firing her. bitch didn't even need a VPN because their IT department was retarded.

Funny how the pussies who choose the lowest effort desk jobs are always the ones crying and moaning about how soul sucking their work is, or else coping with wasteful spending in pursuit of a good time. Those of us who do real man's work don't quail at the prospect of quitting our jobs and setting off around the world, because our work makes us strong and confident and mentally capable of powering through difficulty.

I looked into it briefly and a lot of places require a degree to become an actual english teacher in the country. Are you talking about doing like 1 on 1 tutoring or teaching it online? The notion of being on some retarded zoom call emoting for third worlders is nauseating. I'd probably be fine with 1 on 1 tutoring with people though.

If you're okay with scamming then you can use AI for making money online, yeah. It's not good work, it hurts innocent idiots, and you'll be competing with other, harder-working, greasy dudes, but it can be done a little. Just be aware that more and more people are cracking down on it and are aware of when AI is being used, so you can spend more time applying for work, working a little, then getting booted for using AI than you do actually making money.

Literally writing copy. What you have to write exactly depends on your clients and who you work for. In my case, it's a huge range of different things. I've written guides on how to make Christmas decorations, how to play blackjack, changes to Irish insurance law, writing game articles for big companies (I've done a bunch for the RAID Shadow Legends people), travel guides, and a lot more.

Oh they are all just too dumb and useless to do anything but grunt work, and y'know retards are happy.

I'm thinking of doing the DN thing, but I'm also planning on starting an online masters program. If I were renting right now I'd still do it, but as I'm living with my parents for $0 a month I don't know if it's even worth the cost.

>>2859197
My boss said to just ask if I have to log in from another country, but I dunno. Would they be fine with digital nomad shit? Or would they say something after a few months? Probably no more than 3 months at a time, though. I've traveled within the country but only for a week or so.

I do have a home server and I could set up a wireguard tunnel, but that's also somewhat risky as I do have meetings to attend.

>>2859265
The only thing I can think of that would fuck you with a proper setup (wireguard on a travel router, ethernet only, full tunne, use the travel router even at homel) is wifi scanning. Maybe if you change your local clock, or your latency is significantly different?

>If you're okay with scamming
do you have any better ideas? At the end of the day it's a new form of digital marketing I guess. These innocent idiots are degenerates who would spend this money anyway on onlyfans. Seems like the most likely way I can just fuck off from my job within a year and live where I want all year. I could also diversify to more vanilla things like using AI to create UCG ads for ecom businesses.
>you'll be competing with other, harder-working, greasy dudes
yeah, that's the only issue. People making money online are probably working a lot more than I do in a salaried tech job for less money. The only benefit is just having no timezone issues and no income limit.

it's amazing how these threads always devolve into "how can i deceive my current employers" and "what shitty peasant jobs or tawdry shit can i do to make some quick cash" rather than actually talking about actual jobs that involve travel. 4chan is always 4chan i suppose.

It still somehow manages to be more informative than reddit threads on these topics which are 99% AI bots advertising nonsensical schemes and scams. Or better yet "just get this 5 year degree and 15 years of experience then you can do what I do". It's not like 4chan is a navigable wealth of information, it's an imageboard people and these days mostly fake bots post on to drive engagement. There could have been threads with the exact information you want hundreds of times over the last decade, but it's all ephemeral so how would you ever know.

There aren't that many options. They've already been brought up, as they are in every thread.

Work for the countries park service and travel to those locations for the job. You might need an advanced degree to be a tour guide or something but people come from all over to work at our former presidents house. Here in the USA theres a hiring freeze rn so it might not be a permanent job but...

How does he get money that way? Extracting money from simps? How does he do it
