Not going with the majority. If the goal is to farm full time before you are middle-aged and the job is reasonably tolerable with a good chance of continued employment (although personally I wouldn't work third shift, I'd seriously consider the job. I went the other route, got an education/good job and was able to retire early/comfortably and farm, but this would be tough to accomplish with the limited salary an education degree generally allows. Certainly delayed my return to farming, but also allowed me to accumulate the necessary assets and be debt free. However it appears you have already started on the desired farming career, so choose the path which most rapidly reaches your goal. An additional issue would be if the job paid benefits unless the wife provides them thru her employment. Also how does she feel about the issue, it would be a big plus if she supports the decision. Might not be too bad to teach high school vocational classes or possibly higher math and science, but I wouldn't consider coping with unruly kids in general education classes. If a community college teaching job is anticipated that looks more attractive.
