Perhaps the skills just changed. Driving halfway across the country on a motorbike with nothing but a macbook and a phone to tether to, freelancing or remote working along the way doesn't sound so unrealistic.
- kortilla 7y agoI think it’s the direct exchange of labor for room and board that’s the unrealistic part these days. Now with a MacBook, you work in a comfy coffee shop to earn enough to stay at a regular motel for the night and get a regular meal. Also, MacBook freelancing is a higher bar than handyman mechanical work. It requires literacy and training on some skill on the computer that puts you above the Mechanical Turk workforces in much cheaper countries.
