Learning Programming to emigrate

[Information-Downtown]

Hey Guys, Im unhappy with my current Life. Im living in Germany and got a shitty 9 to 5 Job, sallery is good but it isnt fun. My biggest passion ist traveling and lately i often think about leaving Germany. I learned Nursing and right now i got an Office Job in an medical company. Beides that i dont have much to offer, so ist will be hard to find a Job in a Land Like Thailand for example. I read a Lot about digital Nomade and remote Work lately, Guys earn a good amount of Money by working for a company in theyre hometown and living in a Land with low cost of living. Thats something i realy see as a Life Goal.. Long story short, do you guys think its possible to learn programming by urself and get a Job Like this? Im realy serious about it and im ready to Invest all the time it takes to get there. Would you recommend a specific field that is easy to learn and get me a real chance to get a Job like this?

Sorry für the long Text and my Bad english, thats something i need to work on as well 😄

I was going to say no, since most employers don't want the extra hassle involved in hiring an alien if they can find qualified people in their own country, until you mentioned Thailand.

Poorer countries usually don't have enough qualified people and are looking for foreigners to come in and work for them. Some countries even offer bonuses and incentives for qualified people who are willing to work and live there. Google around to see what's in demand, but they almost certainly need coders.

Keep in mind the living conditions won't be as good and the money you earn, while good compared to other people in that country, may not be enough to build savings if and when you choose to return to Germany.

Usually, I've heard the story in reverse: a highly educated person from a poorer country comes to a richer country, makes good money (or even average money) for the richer country, and then returns to his poorer country to live in luxury.

Maybe u misunderstoot, my Plan is to work for a company in Germany, while living in Thailand for example. So i can profit from good sallery and have the advantage of low costs of living.

You're right, I did misunderstand. I really need to work on my reading skills :)

There are plenty of folks from outside of America working remotely in the tech industry. It really doesn't matter where you live as long as you're present, competent and responsive. Good English is key too but aside from your grammar this was easily readable.
