    I don’t want to be a goat farmer but I do find people that work hard to make management richer are insufferable.

    “”" A man is walking into the office when he sees his boss pull into the parking lot in a brand new sports car. “Wow! Nice car! How’d you afford that?” he says.

    The boss smiles at him and says, “Listen. If you work hard, hit all your numbers this quarter, put in some overtime, then I can buy another one next quarter.” “”"

      I don’t know about that. Farming involves a lot of physical labor. Also, goats have horns.

      My wife’s best friend grew up on a goat farm. She does not recommend it. She has stories.

    I’m a farmer but fuck goats. They’re creepy weird animals that destroy everything they’re in contact with.

    Cows can kill but at least they have pretty eyes.

        You can buy land for 20k.

        You can find people giving away goats for basically free online.

          If you want to make money out of goat farming theres a lot more to this than just a little bit of land and a few goats. Running a profitable goat farm means, that you either sacrifice all of your free time or that you scale up to a level where the goats are your only source of income. It isn’t that easy and devinetively not that cheap to start with it. You need a stable for the goats, machines to bring food and water to it. You need the food itself. A trailer to move the goats from a to b, you need someone to sell your goats to and all of this must be as cheap as possible if you want to make a profit out of it.

      Goats are absolute assholes. This fuckers will find even the smallest hole in the fence and break out of it. Sheep are already bad, but goats are the worst.

    My parents were the middle ones so now I got an MSc and a good career. Aaand I’m contemplating whether I should just be a goat farmer instead.

      I recommend against it. Goat farming isn’t for everyone. You should start with sheep first, then slowly add goats. People who go for goats directly tend to fail more often than not.

    My “I wanna be a goat farmer,” which I doubt will ever happen, is a recording studio with only pre-1950s equipment. Everything goes live into ribbon mics, through a tube mixer (pots, not faders!) and lathed directly onto a master disc. No digital anything, no multitrack, not even condenser mics. A place for musicians to record music like they did once upon a time…

    I could never afford to do it, but it’s a fun dream.

    I just wanna love on a boat going all over the place

    Only problem is to get a boat that could do that (even going full cheap AF route) is so bloody expensive

    Not to mention I basically have to have at least a small income stream otherwise I can’t see a doctor

    I keep looking at my spreadsheet going “someday”

    Bar owner for me. Seriously if my biggest worries were drunks and selling beer, real actual tangible problems instead of the shit in the corporate world. Im so tired of the corporate world

      The trick is to own a bar that doesn’t get super busy so you make money but also don’t have to deal with drunks getting into fights all the time and such.
