The Digital Nomad Truth

Here’s the truth – the term “digital nomad” is not a job.

It’s a lifestyle. A digital nomad is a person who has the freedom to move around due to the fact that they can work from their laptop and/or other portable devices.

In order to be a digital nomad, you need to figure out a way to earn money. The nomadic part and the money/work part are generally two very separate things.

And finding work that can provide a nomadic lifestyle generally requires the same process as finding a job that requires a daily 9-5 trip to the office:

• examine your skills, abilities, interests and education
• figure out which jobs are suitable for what you can offer
• narrow it down to jobs/work that interest you and provide benefits that match your needs
• try to get hired by a company offering that job
• for some, you might create your own business or freelance opportunity instead

Again, whether you strive to be a digital nomad or office worker, you need to find a suitable job/source of income that will lead to that lifestyle/work environment.
