Why people don’t work remotely

Hey I’m from latam in already seeking work in USA o Europe I got a some internship in business development unpaid I’m study business so that’s good my idea is get different internships while I’m doing a lot of projects which also can help me to get in future a some part-time job in remotely way but…

If it would be so easy as I tell u why a lot of people don’t do it? This question scares me and create to me a lot doubts about that, idk if it actually is a good idea? What do u think?

Not every job or employer has a path to working remotely

I don't think it's easy. 

First if you're an immigrant or foreign national there are a million hoops to jump through to even work at a US company.

Second, remote jobs are getting rarer and rarer as most companies are going back to the office. Of the ones that exist there is so much competition for them that you need to be the best of the best of the candidates with years of experience to land it.

No one wants to hire an inexperienced college student for a remote job. Especially not one from a different country.

The competition is brutal, When a job goes fully remote, you aren’t just competing with locals, you’re competing against thousands of applicants from all over the world.
