What will you do next? You can be rid of all these problems if you start raising chickens in the woods and selling eggs and poultry.

No need to be patronizing.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound insulting, my wife and I routinely discuss leaving our programmer jobs to move out into the woods and raise chickens.

[bpchaps]

Ah sorry. That does sounds relaxing, even in jest.

I'm trying to get out of for-profit tech and into the non-profit space to do data/FOIA/investigative work. It's still "tech work" at the end of the day, but without the deep dread of making rich dudes richer.

You can join a research lab as a software engineer, or even start a PhD.

[bpchaps]

Need a degree for both of those.

How much acreage would I need for that? Serious question.

[johnfactorial]

I think a chicken run & coop is like 100 square feet total for a half a dozen chickens. Not sure though, I'm still just a development director. :)
