I mean, you definitely do. I know numerous people that dropped the field entirely (including me) even though the pay is ridiculous.

Already farming?

Woodworking, close enough?

Sometimes it is just a really intense garden.

Oh, you definitely wonder how long you can keep up with the corpo bullshit, but that wasn't the vibe I was getting from the first panel. That was giving me more of a "junior engineer who can't get something to work" vibe.

I've traded half my pay for more fulfilling work and less corpo bullshit before, but I didn't quit engineering. I see some people dreaming about leaving it all behind and buying a farm, but what they all had in common was zero farming experience. The grass is always greener and all that.
