IMO, the remote work that you can get with little actual experience may be very unfun ($15/hr to mess with WP templates).

That wasn't bad for me... I bailed on a PhD in English and was able to spin that up to a stable, decent career in about 5 years and I live 2 hours into the sticks outside of Austin, TX.

But if I had a CS degree and wanted to do work that you can get with that degree moving to a city and getting on on site job would have been a far easier and rational choice.
