    I have taken a half step in this direction and it’s improved my life greatly.

    I still have a normal job, but my Covid project back in 2020 was to finally put a koi pond in my back yard. I spend way more time learning and thinking about it than keeping up on tech shit. And the job I have now is great - I’m not trying to escape from it or anything.

    The best part is that even the guy I bought my recent koi from has a microbiology degree. He’s properly living the “x farmer” dream, but that “job” is much more than a 9-5.

      Wait…you mean to say it’s feasibleto have a cottage-industry koi farm for a hobby/supplemental income? I’ve been considering putting in a pond and looking at different ideas for what to put in it and koi are a contender.
