Let me explain, since most of us are software developers, we would be inclined ( naturally) to do software projects. But in my opinion software is a relatively hit or miss - yes people do make it big, but many also fail. When it comes to software projects you are competing with smart people. Compare that to say farming, it is much less of a hit and miss, or so it appears to me. Now I'm not entirely averse to software projects either and there could be a sweet spot - for example maintenance of legacy systems. But the point I was trying to make is that one must be willing to look outside of the software world.
