  1. I have not made the leap to the RV lifestyle yet, in part because I have to find some viable income streams to supplement any work camp opportunities. Anyhow, I have found some websites that have legit online jobs in all types of categories that include everything from Tech, Legal, Administrative, HR and then I found a couple of other websites that might be lower level but still better than minimum wage. Just sharing so others who may be interested can check them out. Some jobs are freelance, others are FT with benefits but ALL of them are online. Hopefully this helps a few people. https://www.toptal.com/ https://www.workingnomads.co/jobs https://www.fancyhands.com/dashboard/#/ https://www.zirtual.com/jobs https://join.itutorgroup.com/#/

  3. I know you posted this awhile back but was curious how your research turned out?
  4. As someone who group up in MN, I know why SD is difficult to find qualified people. I won't rule it out entirely, but I think I heard a term on another post about "chasing the 70's" kind of fits my goal. Meaning the temperature being in the 70's. LOL Thank you.
  5. Thanks ROUS. I'm pretty familiar with all the various job boards, LinkedIn, etc. Online jobs are not as easy to get as one might think, at least from my experience. During my career, I have sought out online jobs but so many companies have this "BUTT IN SEAT" mentality. It's changing but not fast enough. Those job boards are good but so many companies post jobs that require such specialized industry/product/tools that unless you have x,y, z, making it past the HR black hole rarely happens. My colleagues have experienced the same issues, which is why I'm just seeing what people here might say. The technology "flavor of the month" means that when you spend a year or two (or more) become really good in that product/tool/industry is no longer the "flavor of the month". That's exactly why I got out of doing software development very early on in my career. It sounds like with your experience you and I probably have many similarities in our professional background.
  6. Hi Travis,

    I would like your feedback on what you see for FT RV'ers working PT, FT, Contract, etc. on the road.  I'm about 10 years away from retirement and while I can live on significantly less living the RV lifestyle, I would still need more than what someone might earn as a Workcamper to supplement that income or lot rent exchange.  It seems this is an area that you are pretty knowledgeable about and hoping you can give me some honest feedback.  I have a B.S in Computer Science, MBA and other certifications.  I'm not looking to replace my current income but something in the neighborhood of $40K'ish.  Just curious how realistic that might be.  I troll several job boards and most of them it seems in my field are so specialized in specific products/ tools/ industries or require more than 50% travel.

    What do you see in the way of postings for business professionals (if any)?

    Thank you.

  7. I haven't made the leap yet into the RV life style. Still doing my research on some things that I need to educate myself about to make this successful. So, I would like to hear from anyone who has found work on the road doing any sort of business consulting. Some examples of buzz words this might look like include: project management, solution consultant, product management, etc. I'm at least 10 years away from retirement, single lady currently with a small horse farm. I'm familiar w/workcamper opportunities and would likely look for those situations but I would need to supplement that income with something beyond the types of jobs like teaching English to Chinese children or data entry. I've seen some who have launched some online businesses through blogging and such but I'm trying to assess how many people out there on the road are doing jobs in the "business world". There are plenty of online job boards available for searching and I watch them, but again, just want to hear how many out there are working in these fields either PT or FT on the road. I have a B.S. in Computer Science, an MBA and several certifications in my field. I'm not looking to completely replace my income, just partially through something fairly predictable. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
