[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5530494, member: 2119"] I worked as a professional engineer till I was 35 but was brought up on this farm so in some ways never really left it. I spent most of holiday time here working. In some ways I am still working as an engineer as most of the arable work relies on being able to keep the machinery going. It all depends how you intend to shift from your present career into agriculture. I wouldn't have shifted out of engineering into agriculture just to drive a tractor or look after stock on somebody else's farm. The life of most farm staff is arduous and precarious as far as I can see and not that well paid. But if it's what you really enjoy then go for it. I'd get a bit more hands on experience first before I made the move though. Maybe you could change back if it didn't work anyway. [/QUOTE]
