[QUOTE="semilla, post: 1341077, member: 18015"] OP, [USER=14088]@chrisblackbeard[/USER], and anyone else, If you live in or near a region that has any form of vegetable produce production, consider working on a farm. Preferably one that is large or rather corporate (JB Boswell, Tanimura and Antle, Grimmway, etc). Take any job you can find or one relating to your interest. Of course, speaking Spanish is a huge plus. Pay may initially be low, but so would you cost of living in a partially rural area. After a few years of working there, you can go work for a support company in some form of sales. This could mean working in the fertilizer, chemical, mechanical, technical, irrigation, heavy machinery, farm labor, food safety, or one of the many other industries that are constantly rotating people through a limited amount of willing employees and a growing number of boomer retirements. I may write up a data sheet explaining the ag industry, or at least the vegetable industry on the west coast, since there has been more interest in rural living among the crowd here.

I wouldn’t say my case is typical, but not unlikely for someone after a few years in the right sales job. TLDR: Work for a farm and then find a respectable and consistent job in an adjacent part of the agriculture industry. [/QUOTE]
