I’m surprised there are MANY people longing for emancipation, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information about the new possibilities out there... In today’s world there are multiple wildly successful companies based on #RemoteWork. I’ll add info and ideas to this thread :) https://twitter.com/thetruthhurtsg/status/1312117469000069120
I usually use this account to be an oxyMORON about Reason and Religion but, by doing so, I come in contact with more and more people that feel trapped in their environment. I know how that feels, to some extent I’ve been in the same situation. My beautiful wife too. ...
... We emancipated ourselves — BIG TIME — through remote work. Namely, working via Internet for and with people, and companies, all around the world. From home. Or from wherever there’s a good connection, actually. We are what they call #DigitalNomads. ...
... I’d say more “digital” than “nomads”, for we like staying home for long periods of times, but you get the idea. So, this thread is going to be serious because I think that, by sharing my experience in this field, I could actually help someone. ...
... The first thing to understand about remote work is that it is REAL work. Like every path you can chose in life, are pros and cons.
CONS
- You don’t compete only with workers nearby anymore, you compete worldwide. So you have to be good at what you do.

PROS:
- Professionally speaking, the world is your oyster. You’re no longer bound by your environment. Not geographically, nor financially. By working for people or companies in rich countries you can make a lot more doing the same.

Now, I know this can feel overwhelming because most of the time you don’t even know where to start, let alone the next step. And, you’re feeling trapped.

But there is only one thing you need to free yourself: a remote job that pays enough and that you enjoy.
And there are only 3 steps involved in getting one:
1. Find *your* craft.
2. Work on your craft.

Instead of feeling trapped, get rid of distractions and get to work.
But, where to start? How to find your professional talent/craft?
My experience is that the best way is to try different PATHS. Then, after a while, see if you’ve become good enough to get paid ...

Now, I have experience with more than a few paths that I tried myself, plus a few more that successfully tried some of the people that are now my collaborators.

So ...
... I’ll be posting one possible path for you to try at a time. Please give me feedback and let me know if you’re valuing this by liking and RTing it.
It will be a work in progress.
If it’s valuable, it is important that reaches the people that are feeling trapped. ...

There will be a subthread for each path. This is the #RemoteINDEX, all paths start from here, in no particular order

...
#Remote_Path_1 is to become a #Developer, better they are always in demand 
The only way to know if you have what it takes is to try!
There are online courses that take you from zero to a paid internship level in 6 months. No degree required. ...
... You can only become a Developer if you love coding. Or at least, enjoy it. Love may come with time 
Again, the best way to know is to try. You’re gonna need a proper
