I haven't made the leap yet into the RV life style. Still doing my research on some things that I need to educate myself about to make this successful. So, I would like to hear from anyone who has found work on the road doing any sort of business consulting. Some examples of buzz words this might look like include: project management, solution consultant, product management, etc. I'm at least 10 years away from retirement, single lady currently with a small horse farm. I'm familiar w/workcamper opportunities and would likely look for those situations but I would need to supplement that income with something beyond the types of jobs like teaching English to Chinese children or data entry. I've seen some who have launched some online businesses through blogging and such but I'm trying to assess how many people out there on the road are doing jobs in the "business world". There are plenty of online job boards available for searching and I watch them, but again, just want to hear how many out there are working in these fields either PT or FT on the road. I have a B.S. in Computer Science, an MBA and several certifications in my field. I'm not looking to completely replace my income, just partially through something fairly predictable. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Thanks ROUS. I'm pretty familiar with all the various job boards, LinkedIn, etc. Online jobs are not as easy to get as one might think, at least from my experience. During my career, I have sought out online jobs but so many companies have this "BUTT IN SEAT" mentality. It's changing but not fast enough. Those job boards are good but so many companies post jobs that require such specialized industry/product/tools that unless you have x,y, z, making it past the HR black hole rarely happens. My colleagues have experienced the same issues, which is why I'm just seeing what people here might say. The technology "flavor of the month" means that when you spend a year or two (or more) become really good in that product/tool/industry is no longer the "flavor of the month". That's exactly why I got out of doing software development very early on in my career. It sounds like with your experience you and I probably have many similarities in our professional background.

There certainly aren't enough telecommuting roles. That's for sure. But, there are needs in small states or remote places that have a very difficult time being filled. South Dakota is a good example. Airline commuters tend to avoid those places because the connections are typically terrible. While not telecommuting, it could be a great fit for a full-time RVer that will physically go there. Heck, RVers tend to like remote places like that. So, in some circumstances, you would have a distinct advantage over people that would need to buy air tickets and hotel rooms. (You would snicker at your competitors in a bemused manner.) Anyway, best of luck in your hunt. I bet you do just fine.

As someone who group up in MN, I know why SD is difficult to find qualified people. I won't rule it out entirely, but I think I heard a term on another post about "chasing the 70's" kind of fits my goal. Meaning the temperature being in the 70's. LOL Thank you.

If you or people you know are ready to "come off the road" I know of a position available now. We manage a 55+ gated manufactured home community in the Tacoma WA area. We are moving up to a larger property so our employers are looking for a management team to replace us. Apt/utilities included along with salary, small pets allowed. Our management people are lovely and the community is as well. If interested please shoot me your email and I will pass it along. Position is available now.
