50k Remote Job with No College Degree

what is your name my name is Sarah hi Sarah so can you tell us what you have been doing and able to travel the world and work remotely um yeah so I have two jobs currently I work as a psychology Professor just teaching online and then I also designed Sol panel systems just very random that's really cool and how did you get into the solar panel let's talk about the solar panel one first and then we can talk about psychology so how did you get into working with solar panels um yeah so it was I started looking for like remote jobs in 2021 you know hide of covid all those things and I just basically applied to any remote job I could find there was like zero qualifications just applied to everything and I found this one and it was like project management was the title at first which I ended up not getting accepted into that position but they threw me into another Rule and three years later here we are wow that's really cool and so if someone wants to do a career work in solar panels anything like that what kind of experience do they need um yeah so actually the company that I work for is based out of the US and they hire straight out of high school so you do not need any sort of secondary education nothing like that they just hire they train you on the job and yeah did you hear that you don't need a degree great that's amazing and then how so but you are able to do that with also having another job as well so how many hours a week do you work um yeah I'd say on average I work probably about 20 hours a week with both of my jobs combined that can vary of course depending on like High season I'll work a little bit more maybe 25 to 30 um but it's varied throughout the day so I wanted a schedule that was not super set so if the surf is good I can go surf or whatever it is if I want to take a day trip I can go do that um so yeah usually about 20 to 30 okay that's cool and so where all have you traveled while having this job um I've spent a lot of time in Central America hello surfing um I did Europe last year for a while and then Mexico now and then I've done some South America but that's definitely on the goals list this year very cool so do you have to work certain set hours for this job or is it pretty flexible um for the most part it's flexible I do have a couple of meetings depending on the day I'll have one to two three meetings a day but those are my only things that are really set everything else I just have to check my phone every once in a while and just kind of be on top of things but for the most part it's Project based which is super nice for traveling amazing and so what kind of person do you think would like this type of job um or want to go into this kind of field I would say anyone that is good with time management that's super huge especially with Project based since I just have deadlines and everything is just on my own so my boss isn't hounding me for things it's very much hey this is due by here get it done or sometimes I don't even have deadlines I just have to get it done so someone that's time management or that has time management um and then other things probably just like more outgoing because I am talking to my team a lot I'm constantly like messaging them so probably outgoing and time management okay amazing and then you said you also have another job which is really cool that you're able to manage two different jobs sounds like quite a lot so you want to tell us about your other job that you have yeah so I'm a psychology Professor just for a junior college um in the states and for that one I would say that one I went that's what my graduate degree is in so I do have my masters in Psychology so due to that I was able I wanted to figure out how to work remote do with while still using my degree excuse me and so I was kind of just brainstorming tella Health wasn't super huge when I was first getting into it back in 2021 as well so it's just kind of something that came up and I applied to just all these colleges and a lot of times they want people with their doctorates so it did take a while um but eventually I found this tiny school and uh yeah here we are three years yell later as well that's amazing so if someone wants to be a psychology professor in travel the world with that job what would you recommend them doing um I would say just keep pounding the pavement for jobs you're going to get a lot of rejections and I'm still like looking the great thing about it is you can work at multiple universities if you're an adjunct professor so keep pounding the pavement keep going at it and you will eventually get something or something else comes up there's a lot of opportunities in the field it's just a matter of not giving up on trying to get one of those opportunities okay cool and do you have any like advice for anyone who is wanting to get into this field travel the world um I would say it definitely has to be something that you're willing to sacrifice for I would say a lot of times like some of my solar panel job is not my most favorite job however it's been awesome and it's given me the lifestyle that I wanted so I think a lot of people put pressure on you to do the job that you're passionate about and that doesn't necessarily have to be the thing my job is in my life I'm passionate about traveling serve spending time with friends all over the world um so just because my job is what's paying the bill doesn't mean I have to Absolut like it's ideal if you can love it but it's not a necessity for sure and what made you want to start traveling and take your job with you and become a digital momad it all started I moved to Thailand to teach English that was my first like dip my toe in the water working while traveling and I loved it but the schedule was exhausting I was working from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm every day with crazy children which is a great experience um but due to that experience I was like okay how can I still enjoyed this travel but not have to worry about holidays or time off and all those things still being able to combine the both and that's where it all began and if do you mind me asking how much do you make yeah no not at all so combined I make about 52k a year and that's with a few raises over the years but um yeah so 52k and I do still finances are super important to me so I travel on the cheap I you know I'm the carry on type of girl and so yeah it's 2K and you have been able to manage doing that living all 52k and traveling to all these countries yeah for sure I save about half of my income while I'm traveling actually so that's always the goal is save half or slash invest so yeah I'm very cheap this is my first time not staying in a hostle so you know I know I'm moving up in the world a little bit but yeah so it's it's been super easy to manage it I think everyone makes it seem like it's so unattainable but if you're willing to just cut back on some luxuries you got it do it it's amazing thank you so much so if you guys are ever wanting to find a job to travel the world you don't want to post yourself online you totally can Sarah is a great example of this I known Sarah I met her back in Panama and it's really cool she actually owns two houses and she's not even 30 yet which is amazing and she's been traveling the world making everything happen to do it so I just want to show you that this is an example that you can do so if you want to have a remote job in travel the world you can do it just like how Sarah has yeah all right thank you so much thank you
