I had a feeling you'd like farming, guess I was right. I know exactly what you mean. I don't know how to make a living out of farming really. They do have internships out west that usually start in April and go till november. A lot of them paid 100-200 a week in a stipend. Considered your room and board is covered, that can be a nice option to bring in a little cash and live independently in one place for a little while. Definitely not a long term one. I find that whenever I think long term about a living I get hopeless so I try to just go one step at a time. I'm currently working on finding a way to save up a little bit and then just go to places like farms and communities where you can work for your room and board and maybe earn a stipend. I try to not spend money as much as I can and find places to live and work. The place I was at for about 4-5 months this summer gave me room and board and I really didn't need to spend money the whole time there. I'm looking into medicaid. If you have a college degree you could be a substitute teacher. Definitely not the best job for an introverted person but if you could just find any job and keep reminding yourself that it is short term even if it doesn't feel like the right fit. Once you've got a couple grand saved go find a fun place to live and work and travel around to different places for a while. As you go one step at a time you might find a pertinent job that works for you. You are young enough that you don't have to be thinking about a career yet despite what our society tells us. I find that going to different places that pay you in room in board means that a small amount of money saved can last you a really long time. There are all kinds of places, like retreat centers, farms, ski resorts etc that do work exchanges. Next winter I want to live in a ski resort and work. You could find ways to make your passions your career. You never know. But I definitely find the idea of picking a career and then pursuing it a little outdated. I think it is better to just go one step at a time if you don't know what to do and see where it takes you since our world is changing so rapidly it really can be hard to plan your life ahead like a lot of our parents were able to do. Who knows what our economy and country will be like in 30 years. There are some options in Alaska that pay well cause no one wants to live there. Probably a good place if you like solitude.
