Been a white collar worker my whole life, other than the odd Summer stint in factories when I was young.
Has anyone (specifically, people in IT/middle management) made the treechange? I'd love to live rural, and having two small kids (almost 3, and 4 1/2), I think it'd be great for them to grow up with a bit of land.
Problem for me is that there's not too many jobs for my experience (and buggered if I want to start removing spyware from people's computers for $30 a hit). I considered doing a trade a while ago, but my body is knackered (arthritis + a lifetime of riding motorbikes = painful to do anything for an extended length of time).
