I understand this, but there are jobs now that are purely on line. I have a dozen local friends who all work from home working for companies out of state.

I have two friends who are both self taught graphic designers, self taught, and work remotely. Both of them do not have a full time residence, and instead just travel the world - working when they can and playing tourist when they have down time. One of them does this with their spouse and child.

I remember when I was younger they told us the average office worker would be replaced with computers. This has happened somewhat, but now the average office has it's own IT department. Jobs just moved.
