What are some of the jobs available in the natural living/permaculture/sustainability/natural health field? How do I get involved with it?
I have an IT degree and I've been working in IT/programming for about four years, currently I'm in a public facing helpdesk job. I don't know if it's the companies I'm working for or the community or what, but I really don't like my job and I spend a lot of time dreading it every day.
I originally wanted to go into IT because I thought I'd have more money and time left over at the end of the day to spend a lot of time outdoors working with my hands, but I work 12 hour shifts and when I get home I have to study for these certs that the company I work for creates for workers to do every month. I get paid for all my study time but at the end of it I have no time to actually do the things I want.
Currently I make $14/hr. I'd prefer to make around that or possibly more. Is there a certification I could do or some kind of class I could take to springboard me into the natural living/natural health field? I live in a city where it's pretty huge but most of them are small businesses so I never see jobs posted.
I'm interested, I've always wanted to get into this
I've wanted to combine permaculture with non-invasive and renewable hydroponics
