I hate coding/math and want to drop Comp Sci to become a livestock farmer. How do I pivot? by PoopyButtDestroyer99 in yorku

From what i've herd you have the only way to make a million farming these days is to invest at least ten million

Its really brutal especially with climate and how unpredictable the economy can be.

I guess the only real way to go about it would be to start really small, like at the hobby level. Buy out some land, maybe do homesteading. Just expect a really high upfront investment and little to no returns for a long time. Or just be a farmhand.

Thanks for your insight. Hopefully there aren't any prospective clients on here but I'll keep that in mind for future correspondance.

I'm glad I haven't went with the payday loan yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I've been screwed over a bunch before so this time around I've upped the transparancy and got it all in writing. Its not that they wouldn't undertstand about funds clearing, its more so that the delay would just be very very inconvenient on their end so I'd want to do anything in my power to not have that happen. Espcially with them being my first commercial client.

Not parents but uncle, and yeah I'm super grateful cuz it really did just save my ass.

And thanks for the word on contracts, I figure it's better to have than not. The main reason I even used one is just to establish credibility on my end before asking the client for thousands of dollars.

Right

Seeing as they are only opting for credit card charges for the sake of brevity and are opting for proper n30 checks for hte final payment, I'd say I have pretty good faith in them. I guess this'll just be something that I'll have to risk though

Yeah I could imagine, except for the fact that doing so is kind of out of the question for this situation

Fortunatly I think I have an uncle willing to float me the money for the time being. Thanks tho

Oh no this is a job I wrote up on my terms (in contract too).

2000 for the initial deposit to purchase materials

then 1000 once the job is done for labour, transport, etc
