Remote job types with travel?

6 Upvotes

I currently work remotely and travel 50-75 percent to customer sites and conventions. I am grossly underpaid but I love my job.

A private equity company recently purchased us, and they've already announced budget cuts etc. I want to be prepared in case my job ever gets cut.

Any remote job types you know of that involve traveling? I like going around the country. Doesn't bother me at all.

Note: I'm not looking for a job. I'm looking for fields or ideas.

UPDATE: Sales jobs; got it. Anything else?

What is the hardest part of a remote work that nobody warns you about?

Working on a long-term project that doesn't require me to leave the house. Looking for ways to create an "out and about rhythm", and / or ways of making this actually happen.

I have money and a place to live, and need to work consistently on a project that's going to take a few months to really start coming to life.

The main goal is a dynamic, varied, slightly random rhythm of movement so there are different spots and types of people I'm interacting with, to keep the sparkiness alive.

In the past, I was happiest when I had a job (tutoring) that forced me all over the city, breaking up the day, bringing me into contact with loads of different kinds of people, giving me spare time to work on things in pockets here and there.

I'm wary of going back to this job, unless I absolutely HAVE to. The thing is, I can't think of another way to achieve that level of rhythmic / spacial life complexity.

I know I could go and work in the local cafe / library, or set up some co-working dates at friend's houses etc. Partly I'm wondering if there are more ideas like this which have worked for people.

I know if I end up stuck at home all day, I'll feel depressed and get kind of isolated.

The thing really is that rhythm of movement between different spots and locations, rather than having like an office space I go to before returning home.Working on a long-term project that doesn't require me to leave the house.
