While I am relatively young to be considering moving on to my second career, I have a strong passion for organic gardening, permaculture and educating others about the benefits of participating in and supporting their local slow food movement. I would love to start market gardening. I currently work full time because I need the benefits (health insurance mainly, a steady paycheck to pay the mortgage and taxes is nice) and so I do not have enough time to reach my full market gardening potential. I have been working towards it in my free time, expecting that one day I will realize I have created enough of a base to feel comfortable quiting my current career and starting my new career as a market gardener. What advice would you give someone like me who is longing to switch careers but doesn't feel like they can afford to "YET" due to current life circumstances?
