[QUOTE="Pasty, post: 3349146, member: 1651"] Problem is that I was the 'clever' one in our family so brother went on to the farm and I was 'lucky' enough to escape. I was endlessly encouraged to be an accountant or banker. That's despite him being more interested in tech and me in shooting, fishing, animals etc. So I didn't get a go and when we did up a barn on the farm as a base for one of my businesses I used to watch Dad out there sorting hedges and fences and whatever and thought 'Crap, that's what I want'. So I made that happen and couldn't be happier. It's all very well saying you run a million pound etail business but it doesn't matter a bit if you are bored, stressed and unhappy. Money doesn't really come into it. It's happiness. You can get by on little money if you are happy in your work and have a loving family. I would ask all the farmers who think he's mad why they don't sell up (assuming they own) and get a 9-5 job? Do it or don't. There is your answer. [/QUOTE]
