Pros

The pay is comparably high in most countries. The market is (almost) not regulated at all. Logistics is trivial: You can ship your product(s) over the Internet

Cons

You will notice slight, yet annoying discomfort from small things, like typing. Buy a better keyboard :) Get something mechanical, but not too clicky or your co-workers will plan some elaborate demise for you
