I raise fiber animals: sheep, angoras, alpacas. About 100, along with show-quality milking goats. And I am a specialist breeder of English heritage chickens. The rest are just pets (horses) and homestead stuff (rabbits, turkeys, etc)
As my side gig, to paraphrase Mel Brooks, I'm a stand-up economist, specializing in asset backed securities (which is a fancy way of saying bonds made out of debt pools).
I'm a walking contradiction.

I spend around 3 years working in IT, as system engineer, then worked in a company doing business making and selling softwares for Industrial Maintenance Management System. I did on-site training for our customers.
Then I left my country and came to China 4 years ago where I teach English in a massive Language Learning Franchise.

I am growing a little tired of it. I am actually at a cross path and still wondering what to do.

My wife started a coffee house. I am thinking of working there to help her getting it active while still having private classes on the side.

Dunno ...
