    You ARE working much less. Have you tried working in a farm for 12 hours a day? You wanna compare serving coffee in Starbucks with farming for months then losing it because there’s frost?

      Who TF is working on a farm 12 hours a day? What’re you watching grass grow? My mom’s family has a farm and I have worked there before and it’s pretty fun actually and all the usual work is done by 2 pm. Feeding animals, cutting grass for them using a spinny wheel thingy. Getting eggs from chickens, milking cows, ploughing the fields is done by tractors and only thing you have to do is throw seeds around. And it’s not like you’re doing the same thing for 8 hours straight. So yeah I’d say it’s more work. I’d much prefer doing that over graphic design for 8 hours. As for the frost, well, just grow shit where it’s not cold I guess.

        Im pretty sure 95% of farmers would aggressively disagree with you. Lots of farmers in my country burn out from over working. Unless you are talking about a hobby farm for personal use

          Unless if they’re slave farms you’re talking about. Then i haven’t seen any other farms like that, maybe it’s just a country to country thing. And it’s not a hobby farm it’s a proper farm, they sell milk eggs and and the field produce. Even got mango trees. Sure it’s a lot of work but it’s not overwhelming and they take a lot of breaks and even chat with neighbours for hours. And my grandma’s 80 and still milks the cows and walk them in the field and stuff. Not because someone tells her to, but because she likes it.
