Ease On Down the Road to a Mobile Income

These days many families have decided to go full time in their RV. This has become a way of life for those looking to escape the rat race and lower their housing costs. Being a full timer gives you the freedom to move about the country looking for whatever guides you. Be it exploration, better weather, or just plain old ants in the pants you can move about as much or as little as you like. However, what do you do for income? For those retirees, it may not be too big of an issue, but for the family that travels about income is still needed. Here are several occupations that allow you the freedoms you are looking for and the income that you need.
Telecommuting
Some companies offer certain employees the opportunity to telecommute. This happens more often when you have worked for a company for some time and they know you plan on retiring. There are some companies that look for employees from the beginning that are able to telecommute. This is a great way to continue making the money you need to survive while sticking with a job you already know. These types of jobs range from an entry level data entry job to graphic design or even an online professor. With the steady income you are used to, you can set out to travel the earth as long as you can stay clear of the adventure long enough to put in a day’s work.
Temporary Employment
There are always temp agencies in most of the bigger cities across the USA. By doing a little research and making a destination plan, you can strategically move around the country based upon the opportunities that arise. Some jobs will be a matter of weeks and some may be months. Either way, you can decide which positions you take and which best fit your voyage. Temp work can be less stressful for the employee and it can be very rewarding to learn new skills as often as you wish. If you request the agency pays you by direct deposit, you won’t even need to wait for the pay period to end before you head off to the next location.
Workamping
One of the newest ideas I have heard is “workamping.” The idea of workamping is to offer your services in exchange for a camping spot. Check out Workamper.com for more info. Some RV parks may need landscaping and some may even need a temporary park manager. Whatever the job may be, you can agree on free parking and even a desired salary for some positions. The downside to working where you live is that you kind of become an “on call” employee. This can mean longer shifts and wake-ups in the middle of the night. The upside is you do not have to commute and you can eat lunch with your family every day.
Professional Jobs and Trades
There are many occupations out there in the world that allow you to travel as often or as little as you like. Traveling nurses and doctors have a lot of freedom to move around rely on a steady income. Also, a lot of construction workers tend to travel to where the work is. This type of employment can take you away from family for long periods of time, but the pay is typically exceptional and health benefits are typically provided.
There are some really good jobs out there (thanks to the internet) that are available for people who would normally be working in a 9-5 office job. Take freelance writing for instance. I personally love sitting down at my laptop where ever I am in the evening and writing about topics that I love. It is a good way to use a skill that otherwise may not be used at all and keeps you in touch with the latest trends in your area of expertise. Rather you need to work or you just enjoy working, being full time RVer might limit some of your occupation choices but it will also open a lot of doors you did not know were out there. So get out there and get your resume ready and Happy Trails!
