A good job to do remotely while living in another country?
Seth B asked:
My goal is to live in another country and make money from a job in the US. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management and International Studies and my background is in Sales. I am 26.

What would be good job options while living in another country and working remotely?
I think any job that allows you to work remotely would work. I would be willing to learn a new vocation to make it happen. Anything that makes decent money ($40k+) and no lame work at home schemes, Multi-Level Marketing MLM schemes.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Sound ideal. A few such jobs that I’ve heard of are:
**Technology support or programming — Would require a field change for you, but not impossible
**Consulting in the local country — would require travel back to the US, but I’d imagine you can spend a good amount of time in the country of choice.
**Writing — be a columnist for a magazine or website. You can make money if you’re successful, but might be hard to break into the field.
You mention working remotely — but wouldn’t the situation be the same if you were an expat? With your business background and sales experience, you could probably get a job at an international company or financial services firm. They could place you in a country like India or Belgium or Brazil or Indonesia on an expat package. You’d live quite nicely.
Good luck!
