I feel this in my soul. If I were independently wealthy or had a sizeable amount of passive income, I probably would give up the corporate life and just do something like farming.

But in reality, most of the farmers in my area either have to make do with very little or they end up having to work a full time job to supplement the farm income, build a retirement fund, and to have decent health insurance. Kind of takes the joy out of it if I know I'm either going to have to compromise further on healthcare & retirement, or if I'm going to have to continue working another job either way.

Highly skilled people want to become farmers but can't afford it.
Capitalism has come full circle.
