Hi y'all,
I'm hoping you'll be able to share some crumbs of advice for my situation. I'm 25F, and unattached. I feel like if I don't make the leap now I never will.
I have a degree in biology and currently work in a biomedical lab, it's killing me. Genuinely. I've made it a year and a half and I've decided it's not for me.
I'm beginning to look into internships and apprenticeships related to permaculture farming and livestock management. I currently have as large of a vegetable garden as my space will allow. I've volunteered in equine therapy, wildlife rehab, and animal shelters. I have a basic understanding of equine management as I traded barn chores for lessons throughout my teens. The city I currently live in is not urban agriculture, or community garden friendly.
I don't know where to start when considering the positions that are listed online. I do have a blue heeler that I would have to bring with me, which I'm pretty sure will be an issue.
I'd really like to find a position that provides a stipend and housing. I'm absolutely willing to relocate and I have a good bit of savings I've built up after graduating college.
Any advice on what to look for in the internship postings, as well as what a reasonable pay structure would be. Any words of wisdom you can offer are absolutely welcome.
Thank you in advance,
Erin
