Not to disuade you, or anything, but only you can answer that question. I don't farm. I wasn't raised in a farming community. My Grandfather farmed, which is my connection to Farmall tractors. I am in the U.S. Navy, and have served for more than 17 years. Many of my friends from high school didn't serve. They have regular jobs, settled in one place, and make a good deal more money than I do. So... why do I serve? I serve because it's who I am. It completes me as a person, for now. So I've chosen to make it my way of life. Money isn't as important as doing something that centers me.
Maybe farming does the same for you.
If not, than maybe you should pursue something else for a time. I know of one guy I served with a while back who joined the Navy to get out of Iowa and see some of the world, and have some "worldly" experiences under his belt. He wanted money for education so he could go to a good Ag school, and learn how to better run his family's farm business and do something more with it. He didn't plan on making the Navy a career, but wanted to farm for his career after he served his term. For all I know, he did exactly as planned. I transfered and never knew. In fact, hadn't thought about him until now.
My point: There are always options in life. Do what you want, including work. Because when you love what you do, it doesn't feel like work, it just feels like life.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
