The job that makes you happy and can be done remotely is the best job.
To figure it out, here are some jobs currently done remotely.

1.. Programming
Like designing, becoming a great programmer is not easy, and it takes a good few years of work experience to get up to speed. Highly skilled programmers earn great money; depending on the scope of the projects you are working on, many opportunities exist to work and travel. Start by doing a few tutorials or courses to build up your knowledge of different programming skills.

2. Social Media Marketing
If you spend much of your day on Facebook, why not use it to make money? Keeping their Facebook and Twitter accounts up to date and publishing new and exciting information is a headache for most companies. Taking over their fan pages and Twitter accounts and running Facebook ads is a perfect digital nomad job requiring minimal technical knowledge and can be done anywhere.

The only problem might be that you will be in different time zones when traveling and working, so you need to be a bit creative when doing your pitch that you want to do this while traveling.

3. Virtual Assistance

4. Consulting
Consulting can be done online in any industry. Think about it. If you are working as a consultant already, there may only be a few things you need to change to run your business from anywhere. Whether law, marketing, HR, or anything else is your specialism, be a bit creative, and you are sure to find opportunities to move around and shift your office to the beach occasionally.

5. E-Commerce
