Leaving Good Job for doing Farming?

Because some people mistakenly think farming is easy.

If farming were that easy, millions of farmers won’t be coming out of that profession every year (Over 2,000 fewer farmers every day

, More than 75% farmers want to leave their occupation

) — not just in India, but across the world.

Farming is extremely stressful and farmers commit suicides in large numbers, not just in India,but in richer countries like US and France where the governments provide a lot of support to local farmers.

The millenials and Gen-Z have grown up on a glitzy view of the world where people don’t toil hard for work. Media has completely filtered out the struggles of success and focus only on the fruits of it.

When these kids come to corporate world, they often get a rude shock. Corporate world is hard. So is starting a company or succeeding in a sports league, doing research or anything of use in the world.

Being unprepared for the hard rigour they get into a fantasy world of grass is greener on the other side. While a small portion of those who take up other sectors like farming, do succeed, many just give up and get back to reality.

Growing plants as a hobby can be quite liberating. But doing that as a primary means of earning money can be suicidal. Often literally.
