Subject: RE: Those that left farming, what occupation did you switch to?


I had a year when I constantly was fighting hog diseases and the buildings were getting wore out,Deeres was hiring for 89 day temp jobs to get tractors built for spring,walked in took the tests and was doing simple odds and ends to get tractors to pass inspection,was given a job testing tractors within a few weeks,at the end of my 89 days,they said if I wanted to stay they had an inhouse school that started the next week,that job paid 50% more than assembly so I stayed 20 years and just farmed what my father and I owned.With overtime I ended up making over double what most did.

There are jobs here and there that pay well,but you have to know about them.
