there does seem to be a dearth of hardworking folks out there.<<<

I became known as a dream killer, for I kept putting it down on paper and so many of peoples dreams, should remain just that, a dream, for real life is far different.

Your plan is not that far out and people should look at it, for you can learn far more by doing the work, than you can from a book.

Many years ago, I wanted to learn how to grow orchids, all I had was the hunger and little money and no knowledge.

Someone at a meeting took pity on me and my dumb questions and said the next time someone talks about potting,volunteer to come over and help.

For several years I was a volunteer potter of orchids and amassed a fine collection, went from a couple plants on trays of gravel in the house to 3 greenhouses, which those that I had helped, tipped me off, when they heard of a cheap one.

Wound up as the grower for an Orchid grower, who also helped me learn to be a florist.

So if I were young again, I would take your job, I might learn something.

And then I moved to Arizona and had to leave my orchids behind.

My education came from those orchids, you would never believe all the interests that came out of 3 plants from Sears and Roebuck for about $5.00 each.

Little and large items, LOL, I knew the sun came up on the bedroom side of the house and set on the kitchen side.

When the guest speaker went into a speech on greenhouses I remembered every word, so I could find out what the devil he was talking about:

“You must remember to place your greenhouse, and lath houses so that the lath you use for the shading will not allow the sun to be on your plants all day and burn them.”

He meant that if you run the lath in an east to west angle, the sun stays in the grove all day and the plants burn, so LOL, all my lath for ever more runs north and south, and the dear old sun gets to skip over the laths and not burn.

A simple thing, once you know of it.

The word needs to get out, that you need someone.

Have you contacted any of the teachers in your area?

Maybe it is a chance for someone going to college or wanting to save for college.

I would think it would be a dream for a returning Vet, they often dream of doing what you are doing.

Many of today’s large egg farms, grew from the Military men returning from WW2, it was a sure way to riches then.
