Wanna be a goat farmer with me (https://www.goatops.com/) ? I’ve been in IT for 20 years or so and when I first saw that goat list maybe 10-15 years ago it gave me a chuckle, then over the years it made more sense and became a goal. Not necessarily goats, but something entirely separate from IT; for now I’m stuck trying to earn a bit of a retirement, but my eye is on the door.
There is still some good IT stuff to be done though. I have a homelab that I use to avoid Google where I can (degoog/nextcloud/immich/etc), and keep my data indoors as much as possible…
Farming is pretty expensive labor intensive and not profitable. But besides all that it’s very fulfilling
Exactly why I’d like to shift my life. I’m not looking for profits, just time away from my desk lol.
That’s why I decided to do it. Lost my profit motive and suddenly spending 3-5 years establishing trees, roses and peonies didn’t sound so bad. Added bonus, my few customers are farmers and garden enthusiasts so the business side is enjoyable. I’ll hard sell you on some pansies
Become a sheep farmer instead so you can put solar panels on your land
