That's pretty much what I did...
I was able to earn my bachelors in Historical Studies thanks to my gardens a few years back (very unmarketable degree--i do not recommend)...funny though--my plan was to grow only until i graduated--then quit and get a job---which i did--and my job sucked (not sucked like every job pretty much sucks--but REALLY sucked--( a high school for kids w behavior disorders...anyway..) I left that job w hopes to get a new one in a library or museum or something like that--but guess what------here's a shocker---NO JOBS IN SECTORS THAT HAVE LOST FUNDING BC OF ECONOMY---so, well--that's why i'm here on riu today...lol
really tho--I am again doing what i love--it is therapeutic, fulfilling and beautiful...
Not to mention my husband also ran the rat race pretty hard--just to get laid off in August--after first having his wages cut--all because our country has been sucked dry by the greedy...(jorge fucking arbusto y los amigos)
besides getting through school, i've never been in it for the $$ (i just happen to get pretty big yields for the size of my garden
lol)--plus i would always give to charity ($ not
, lol) St. Judes, local community radio station, NORML, sierra club & united way, mostly ) and plan to, still...
And if all goes well, i'll finance grad school or, even better, take some botany/horticulture classes and become the best grower
EVER ....hahaha
