Ah, but also a very rewarding job at other times - same as most jobs.
I'd sooner be out in the fresh air and peace of the countryside any day, than stuck in an office or factory all day.
(BTW, I was married to a farmer, and his whole family were also farmers.)

Re: Careers
From the age of about 12 or 13, I knew I wanted to work in a scientific or engineering area, so I did, all my working life. Would I go back and change that? Only one small part, working for a V-belt manufacturer on the technical sales side. I found out that I was great at the technical side but I found I couldn't sell a thing. It nearly killed me so I left after 3 years and went on the "rock and roll" for a few months until I got the job in Rome.

Sorry Meg, you must have come across many fertile folks.
I don't mind good honest BS and I have cleaned up lots of the canine variety working on kennels , it's the human kind I can't stomach.

Re: Careers
I wanted to be a Blacksmith when I left school.I had watched a magician bend white hot iron into wondrous shapes in the village where I grew up, and knew that's what I wanted to do.
I even did forge work as part of my O-Level Metalwork course.
The problem was that I couldn't get an apprenticeship after I left school, so I ended up testing jet engines for a living.
In hindsight, I wouldn't have changed careers if I had the choice.
I do have my Grandfather's anvil though, and I do bend a little iron every now and then.
