I have been an elementary teacher for almost 15 years. My family and I have decided to start farming -- not just living on a farm -- but starting a farm business that will support our family as sole source of income. <br /><br />I understand the fear that and excitement that goes along with that. I am actually working on a blog post that will talk about exactly that at a href="http://www.synergisticacres.com/">Synergistic Acres - Kansas City Natural Farm</aJeff Hamonshttp://www.synergisticacres.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690484677400583003.post-34670299752891169342011-09-05T20:25:05.227-07:002011-09-05T20:25:05.227-07:00I hear you on the job front.

I despise that wandering lost feeling of not knowing what to pursue for employment. :-/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312775997569014334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690484677400583003.post-8355309228106087862011-09-05T15:28:33.427-07:002011-09-05T15:28:33.427-07:00I have done this four times.

Through it all runs the thread of being a development (fundraising) professional, which brings in a regular paycheck, but I started as an artist, then was a SAHM, then back to full time development work, then a figure skating coach. I am now reinventing myself for the fifth time as a food activist and sustainability writer. I'll still be doing it as a development consultant, but in an entirely new industry.<br /><br />And by the way, I'm 55 years old. I'll never be at the top of my profession, I guess, but I'm too endlessly fascinated by possibilities to stop long enough for that.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690484677400583003.post-77550391944992732792011-09-05T06:23:44.401-07:002011-09-05T06:23:44.401-07:00There are, I've heard, lots of good books on t...There are, I've heard, lots of good books on the subject. Books with titles like "Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow." That one, I think, is a lie. Well, okay, maybe not a lie . . . maybe just too optimistic for my tastes. Or maybe too deliberately ignorant of all the "ifs" that must necessarily follow "Follow."<br /><br />If you find little career arm-floaties, I would love a pair!Laurahttp://www.quesocabezafarm.comnoreply@blogger.com
