Yes I get that and it's great that someone has dreams and ambition but they need to go into it with their eyes wide open. Not saying that @unlacedgecko isn't capable for one minute. Just think there are easier ways to.make money.
You hit that nail on the head I am 19 and have to at the minute work in a warehouse aswell as the farm due to not enough money about at the minute get up feed around then be a robot for 9 hours a day doing something I don't enjoy at all and constantly looking at my phone to see when it's home time

When I am on the farm it goes quick and in all fairness doesn't really feel like a job just a way of life for me really, I hope personally that money in farming improves and maybe I can get into it full time :(

Yes @unlacedgecko said he can earn it for some specialist agency work which is why I made the comment to begin with.

It's taken me some time and a lot of neck to build that customer base. And it could all dry up tomorrow.

But anyone with a Class 1 (C+E) licence can earn a basic wage of £32k pa (plus overtime) PAYE. If you want to do something a bit different car transporters and fuel tanker drivers are £40k plus.
