Kind of the opposite here. I always wanted to farm, but haven't had the nerve/knowledge to get into it. In high school we were taken to a local tech school for a day to discuss what we wanted to do after school. I said farm and was told i couldn't pick farming, so I chose heavy equipment operator and i was told i couldnt pick that either. I picked a third thing i cant remember but was pushed toward engineering and other desk jobs. I couldn't stand sitting behind a desk in school i dont know what made them think i would like it for 40 hours a week. My senior year of high school dad was pretty sick and my mom came outside and told me that if I went to college and got a degree in something to fall back on I could take up farming. That is similar to telling me that once I play NBA basketball I could farm. Tried a year and a half of school and went to work giving up on farming. I sure do regret not talking to grandpa after high school and trying to work out something with him. In all irony the idea of having a career to fall back on was absolutely worthless by that time. With the way technology has changed everything in the last 20 years any education I would have received in college would have been irrelevant in less than 10 years. I have friends with degrees that didn't use them right away and they are useless now with the way everything has changed.
