Ideation 8,216 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 what dose everyone on here work as im looking at farming pestcontroll and gamekeeping thanks kx Good luck matey Farming very tough to get into unless you have family with land. Pestcontrol, you will only just about live on it, if you are doing a ton of fleas, roaches, wasps etc. . . . . you won't make a living out of killing bunnies, foxes etc. . . . . unless you have the midas touch. Keepering you might be in with a chance as i know you have some decent contacts, but it's a dying profession that is MASSIVELY over subscribed (something like 500-1000 applicants for any under keepers job in the shooting times). But it's who, not what, you know. Like i said, good luck And get as much experience and contacts as you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
