Currently switching to agriculture with a 2 year part-time study. Only want to use my computer to do administration and code for hobby purposes. But source of income lays somewhere else. 25, no savings.
Went to work for our family farm after 20 years in various IT roles. Health problems with myself and my family who managed the farm were influencers for me to switch. I really enjoy the new balance of my work day. More or less is 50% spent on desk work (farm record keeping, paying bills, payroll, and of course small software dev projects). The other 50% is in the field planting, spraying, harvesting, etc.
It is not always about the money. After 20 years in tech I'd love to have a job that is more outdoors and less repetitive. I'm even considering homesteading at this point...
