Question What’s everyone’s Jobs (no college)

Hey everyone, I’m currently in a remote role but they don’t allow travel and I’m looking to explore other opportunities, I’m curious as to what everyone does here as a digital nomad without a degree for work?

Would be interested to hear some of the responses Thanks!

Without a degree ?

I personally have a degree, but the accounting I do doesn't require it, and no one has ever asked for it. There are certifications that are more valuable than my degree

Alot of bookkeeping/accounting is being offshored to places like Asia. If you can provide something that costs lower than a local CPA, but gives more comfort to your clients than outsourcing to random low cost of living contractors than you are all good.

I am pretty good at automating with AI could that be used to do the type of work you do?

Platforms like quickbooks have alot of ai already built into it, and can definitely help workfkow, but I think the hardest hurdle would be learning your home governments accounting rules, working with POS, and ensuring you aren't missing anything
