Moved to renewables. Wanted to try and help with climate change and needed new challenges. Solar is a fantastic industry. Lots of room for improvement feels like internet did in thr mid 90s. Just a ton of enthusiasm and a sense you're part of something big and important.
Switched to remodeling houses and landscaping. I switched because this is better. Healthier. Saner. Happier. More in line with my long-term goals and general growth.
Remodeling doesn't sound like a healthy activity.
Living where you're remodeling at the same time is stressful.
Followed Bill Gates' footsteps and bought a section of farmland. I grew up in FFA, and knew I wanted to raise beeves, etc since I was young. After a divorce, I pulled the trigger. Software funded beeves.

I hired a chef and a manager to do the work professionally, and I pay for wages, rent, material, etc. But I get to learn the immense efforts it takes for a brownie to be on a table, for a cake to bring a smile to face, and a cheesecake to melt in the mouth. It was a fresh experience, and I really like the change of pace it brought. We have been experimenting with waffles, brownie flavors, cheese cakes, etc. It feels like buying a new domain every day!
I am wondering if after changing career, would they still read this site, or is it part of what they wanted to get away from?

However it’s a lot easier for a remodeler to put on a P100 mask.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It can be. It's physically taxing work but that's not a bad thing. Living where you're remodeling at the same time is stressful.

I wasn't sure so I googled it. You are talking about some kind of cattle ranching? https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/beev... Regardless, congratulations on taking the plunge! I hope it goes well for you!
