Guess we all look at things a little differently.
From the list above how many people in those occupations face things like;
-Your only going to get paid half of what you did last year because of the weather or because the commodity market took a sudden swing downward.
-The potential income swings a farmer deals with would bankrupt most people in the other occupations.
How often does a meat cutter or cook have to worry about something out of their control like fuel, fertilizer or commodity prices biting 20-40 grand off this years income.
A cook might decide to take a day off when they feel sick or there is a storm coming through.
It makes no difference to a cow if it is -40 outside and the farmer is sick as a dog they still need to eat and the farmer is out there doing what needs to be done to properly care for them.
Most 9-5 employees go home at the end of the day and do not have to worry about much till the next morning, ask a farmer if he has ever been able to do that.
We all choose our own direction in life, some strive for bigger goals than others, the work the risks and the stress associated with each direction has different levels of rewards but by no means can one compare what a 9-5 employee does to what a business owner/farmer does.
Thank you farmers, especially for all the time you spend not getting paid to do a job.
