I got completely burnt out programming, so I quit and built a house on a rural block of land. You need to like being outdoors, even when the weather is miserable. The biggest issue is building up your savings in advance and being comfortable living on a lesser income.
Many former colleagues that I have kept in touch with won't give up their lifestyles which they can only afford because of their above average income. Being frugal and happy doesn't suit most folks.
- supernihil 5y agoAwesome! My friend did the same although he started by taking the first semester of carpenter education beforehand as he had no practical experience. For me, i have no savings, and i have no need for big paychecks. However i also lack skills outside computer this'n'that so i as well consider taking the danish carpenter education which is 4 years with most of it being payed practice at an employer. My hope is that would give me the knowhow to buy some land and create a home plus then severely lower my weekly hours and income.
