Should becoming a nomadic digital student be a thing? With the advent of online degrees gaining prominence across the world, and the freelancing industry emphasizing the need for portfolios rather than actual degrees, it seems like there is a world where students might actually consider living the digital nomad life. Likewise, a pretty good case could be made in favor of digital nomads looking to pursue a university degree in order to further their career or qualify for a freelance work visa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, last last year, I decided to put that theory to the test and embark on a nomadic digital student (NDS) adventure so you don’t have to! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the freelance world, university education is often said to be overrated and not worth it. While it is indeed possible to find freelance work with the sole merit of one’s portfolio, doing so with a degree under one’s belt will often open more doors. A degree is an opportunity to improve and challenge ourselves, create potential professional connections, and qualify to work overseas legally. And that last benefit is probably going to be the strongest argument in favor of getting an education for a lot of DN freelancers out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my case, going back to school was not a decision I\u2019d made on a dime but rather something I\u2019d always wanted and continuously planned for. So, after years of half measure and failures, I felt like the time had come to meet my destiny. I really needed the degree to help me move up the career ladder and ready or not, I was going to attain my goal or die trying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
