This is so true. Just bought some land after the first wave of covid. Now living a farm life, working part time, while my hubby works full time on the farm. So peaceful.
It’s very simple, we’re just sick and tired of corporate America. It’s a different form of slavery.
My saying, it doesn’t matter what you make, it matters how you feel at the end of the day.
If I were in health care or biotech I’d quit too. After the pandemic exposed how stupid humanity is, I’m opposed to anything that extends your lifespans.
Doing land work is good stress relief
Me and my brother are nurses. We resigned last month, bought a 20 acre land and start a career in farming. Our friends thought we made a stupid decision. Apparently, we're not the only ones who are becoming millennial farmers.
This farm looks gorgeous! 😀
Go to college and pay over $100k for college to do it then.
@@MattMatt77 my college is free. I work at Starbucks.
with kids doing virtual school with the start of covid, i decided to step back from my career for the first time and we decided to put all our stuff in storage and travel to the national parks in our motorhome. Never thought we would be a nomadic family but here we are. This spring we were in key west florida, then end of summer we were in the pacific northwest, and now we're by the colorado river in houston. Sometimes life gets shaken up. Maybe I'll go back to work one day, maybe not.
So so cool!!
This can only work if you are college debt free. When I graduated I owed $75k+ in student loans. My question for these young people would be if they had student debt or if their parents paid for their degrees. Not everyone has access to generational wealth.
I think it works if you file an IRP
"Shake in the snow globe.."
I like that
Why does it have to be one or the other...why can't people work during planting or harvesting seasons then work office in winter
Happy for them. I wonder if they have familial financial support that allows them to make this shift in occupation? CBS check the other angles please and give us a holistic look at this 'phenomena'.
America is always a heavenly place. God bless 🇺🇸
All of us actually needs to have a land plot to grow our own food
Thanx guys.. We need people like you.
Jesus 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@bel z. Yes it's called NOT being happy for people these because they want to do the bare minimum and likely live off the government because of it.
If you have the education to makeover on a thousand a year you probably should take it and stop being lazy.
Does that make sense now?
NO FARMS NO FOOD!!
This is beautiful human beings and beautiful minds! It’s so natural after all this madness go where we all belong to the ground and growing food. It’s peaceful and it’s very needed for all of us. People sick of office jobs and following pseudo american dream which is slavery.
Now if only farm land prices were reachable...it is 10k an acher
Actually you can do both, wake up early to do a gardening at your balcony or backyard, have a good shower afterward and go to work and come back again in the evening to check on the garden and tired body and mind gives you a good sleep. Spend time you visit to the bar and shopping to do some gardening. have the best of both world.
I need service like this. I'll call soon.
They didn't go to a farm in the South I noticed. I also think it's interesting that 2 of the 3 think of this as a break and not a career shift and I think it's because they lost so much of their income.
The brain is tired....but the body is restless! Farming is the best relax way...
I make more farming a acre of land then I did working for corporate America , Two degrees and I had a above average job for my area but now I like what I do and make more then I did.
Oh right. 4 hours of back breaking work in the fields is like 8 hours. Not to mention minimum wage . This is just a slap in the face to the real people who do this work everyday, day in and day out
You missed th e part about caring for the environment. No pesticides or chemical on these farms
Sounds like you guys do good work. I'll be in touch.
God bless you all!!!
Excellent topic
Yep…super happy. Because, it isn’t me first.
Wow, they are so slow!
this real farm is how it should be done
Working in nature is the best!
#YESSSSSS
It's just to spend time outside and garden. Mental burnouts. That's why I plant indoors.
Rich kids slumming it.
My son if sinners entice you do not consent.If they say come with us let us lay wait for blood.My son do not walk in the way with them.For their feet run to evil.PROVERBS1vs10-15
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Spend over $100k on there education these to work at 1 of the few jobs I can do as a person with autism. AMAZING SMH.
They didn't spend anything on their education, (K-12) college is specialization.
@@shellybelly9205 Is that because the tax payers are paying for it now?
@@MattMatt77 No! K-12 education is something we pay it forward, you have to go to Scandinavia or else where to find free college. But I don't want to get political, it was just a gripe I have when people use education where they should've use specialization.
@@shellybelly9205 I still feel that people having a education that is WORTH over $100k should be working at a job that isn't made for a person with Autism 🤷♂️
@@MattMatt77 but don't you think that a lot of people are being pushed in careers they don't what because of keeping up with the Jones,
And I still think an excellent education is a 17/18 year old that just graduated with a 4.0 G.P.A, 1400 S.A.T score and a couple of A.P courses and got accepted to all the colleges he applied to.
Environmentally friendly? Ironically, this method of farming uses 90% more water than the alternatives. Cilantro can be grown hydroponically.
🤣🤣
I thought Americans wouldn't do these jobs.
❤❤ for the algorithm ❤❤
