I picked blackberries at this fun farm recently and I genuinely loved it, even after being really stuck by a few thorns and it being hot as fuck outside I kept soldiering on and even got like almost a barrels worth of blackberries with my mom's help. Is picking or fruit or foraging a viable career path? I loved the process of finding spots where the juiciest and ripest blackberries were and the satisfaction of seeing all the ones I got moreso than getting screamed at on a grocery bagging or dishwashing job

Yeah just make friends with the local mexicans and you'll be picking fruit in the hot sun for $2.50/hr with no bathroom breaks in no time.

OP is so detached from reality from his LARPing that he fancies a career being obsolete farm machinery.

The current state of things is so detached from what people like OP require in life that he has to consider making a career using traditional practices instead.

you are the one detached from reality if you think being a low level accountant for a corporation who would rather see you homeless is better than doing what humans did for hundreds of years. seethe if you want, this is all the attention I am going to give you

You could do it as a hobby and learn to make jellies and jams. If you get really good at it, maybe you can turn it into a side hustle. There's a lot of competition though.

They just piss and shit in the fields. That's why Chipotle had that E. coli outbreak a few years ago.

Fruit picking is a job, but I'm pretty sure they use machines, they don't pick by hand.
